Ryan is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, as well as a Certified Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine and Level 1 Nutrition Professional through Precision Nutrition. He is an adjunct professor at the George Washington University, where he received his MS in Exercise Science, and he earned his BA in Biochemistry from DePauw University. Ryan became passionate about health and fitness while pursuing his own journey to lose over 100 pounds over the course of a decade. This journey included overcoming a chronic back injury by focusing on stretching and strengthening the core muscles. After working with Division I athletes with the Department of Strength and Conditioning at GWU, he loves translating those exercises into wellness programs for clients of all ages and abilities. The most important thing we can do at any stage of life is use our muscles, but make sure you’re using them correctly!
