Ryan

Hi! My name is Ryan, and I am based at Birchwood & Sankey Community Hub.

Three facts about you?

• I have been in the health and fitness industry for just over 26 years now, 14 years as a PT & Sports Coach.
• I have 3 children, two in high school and one that is on the other side of the world in Australia, I have a passion for all sports, I mean I will literally watch anything, and my guilty pleasure is a good slice of cake (not fruit cake though).
• I have delivered a baby.

Why did you become a personal trainer?

From playing rugby and boxing at young age to a decent level, I just always had a passion for keeping fit and sports. I just couldn’t see myself doing anything else. I just think its such a rewarding job, and I get to help people of all ages to achieve fantastic results and change their lives for the better.

What are you passionate about?

I truly believe a good personal trainer should always be to coach, educate and motivate a person to believe in their fitness journey, achieve the specific goals that we set out and most important of all make it FUN. Once all that has been achieved then you will have all the tools and confidence to go and train independently in any gym in the world.

Success story

I have done thousands of hours on the gym floor over the years and had the reward of working with little old ‘Derek & Doris’ who just want to improve their quality of life, to coaching young children, right through to working with professional athletes. I think my time working for Salford RLFC in the Super League and helping youth and academy players reach their dream of turning professional has been a major highlight for me personally.
