Since 2007, their 5,500-square-foot family-owned gym caters to both serious lifters and regular fitness enthusiasts. Ryan manages daily operations, including equipment maintenance, member relations, and personal training. A competitive powerlifter from 1989 to 2012, Ryan has competed in eight weight classes and achieved elite totals in four, primarily in APF, USPF, and USPA federations. He also excelled in NPC/IFBB bodybuilding, with significant wins including two middleweight Mr. Pittsburgh titles in 2000 and 2015.
Ryan’s expertise led him to contribute to Powerlifting USA’s POWER FORUM and appear on the cover of its March 2009 issue. He has also been featured in media like the Crossfit Journal and on FOX’s Phitness: Pittsburgh Fitness. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt, Ryan is passionate about continual learning and helping others achieve their strength and rehabilitation goals.
