Ryan brings 17+ years of fitness experience to PHP who spent 16 years in Fitness Management helping his trainers focus on choosing their correct career path. He broke away from management to focus on his personal development and career which included becoming certified as a Muscle Activation Techniques Specialist. Ryan has also obtained the status of Resistance Training Specialist Mastery Level. He also holds a degree in Exercise Science and Health/Athletic Training along with being a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Ryan has also assisted in the development of education programs in the private clubs he has worked at as well as hosted many MAT and RTS courses. He is the founder and owner of Activation Matters, LLC.

A former two sport collegiate athlete, Ryan has worked with high school to professional athletes and has helped them stay dialed in for their sports and performance. However, Ryan is determined to help everyone from athletes to his current 78 year old that just needs to walk without pain. His focus in each and every session is to enhance a client’s previous workout to thinking forward to their next one so they are progressed through their program with specific intentions for every set and rep performed. He personally believes that every day he needs to get better at specificity for himself so that it will immediately transfer to helping his clients get the most out of their sessions.
