"I have been a client of Ryan's for 2 years.  When we first met, he assessed my strengthes and weaknesses, asked me questions concerning my background, knowledge, medical profile, talked about nutrition, and then we got to work!  He pushed, encouraged, and applauded my results - and have I ever seen results!
         I haved dropped 3 sizes in my jeans and have never felt better of been so energized!
He is wise beyond his years, is reliable, responsible, challenging and encouraging.  I would highly recommend Ryan Kollock as your personal trainer if you want to feel good, look great, and see results."

How long have you been training for and what results have you experienced?  

I began training in August 2008 and have noticed dramatic differences in both the strength in my arms as well as my core and back.  As a paraplegic, it is essential that I keep these areas of my body strong in order to be as independent as possible.  I am able to do many things on my own now without the fear of being stuck somewhere with no one to assist.  Ryan has helped to restore a positive self-image of myself while at the same time making me more aware of what my body actually can do despite the fact that I’m paralyzed!

Have you had other trainers in the past?  If so, how would you rate them against our services? 

I have had two other trainers work with me in the past.  The first experience was great, however she is now in another state.  The second trainer was at a large, local corporate gym.  It was awful.  He totally maxed me out with weights the first time we met even after reminding him that I still had to be able to push my wheelchair around the next day.  He paid no attention to my disability during the workout and unfortunately, I was too sore to go to work the next day because I was in so much pain.  That was two years ago and the last time I worked with someone privately.  Coming to Ryan 3 months ago, I was hesitant that he would not understand how to work with my disability and that it would be a repeat experience from that at the corporate gym.  However, I was quickly proven wrong!  He is very patient and in tune to what I physically can and can’t do, but is still able to push me just a little further during each workout.  I was also skeptical that working with bands would do much toning, but I am amazed to see my arms more sculpted than when I first started.  I feel confident that Ryan has my best interest in mind and truly wants to see me happy and healthy.  With Ryan’s vast knowledge and his genuine understanding of my condition, I have been able to train two times a week and at no time have I injured myself.  If I was unable to do a particular exercise on a particular day, Ryan would always give me an alternative. Ryan always keeps me up to date with new training techniques and sets achievable challenges, and has taught me different methods of training to concur difficulties with my disability.

How would you describe your experience to a friend or family member? 

Ryan has the ability to customize each workout to the needs of the individual while at the same time taking the time to explain why we were doing each exercise.  I am surprised by the versatility of exercises he is able to accomplish not only with what he has in his gym, but with what I could do with my disability, too!  He is a great encourager but very realistic about goals.  He is very aware of the body and knows how to get results.  Furthermore, the stretching at the end of the workout helps stretch areas that I am otherwise unable to do on my own, thus keeping me loose and limber.  It provides my body the opportunity to stretch and lengthen itself and in a different position than how I am for 12+ hours a day - sitting.

Would you recommend our services to a friend or family member?  Why or why not? 

Due to my paraplegia, there are some muscles on the border of where my disability starts and stops that are very weak, primarily in my core trunk muscles.  Ryan has been able to take what little control I had of these muscles before and has helped me reconnect my mind to these once semi-useless muscles.  I am able to sit up straighter, bend and twist without losing my balance, and have reduced the pain in my back as these muscles had to work overtime before.  Secondly, it is important that the muscles in my arms be strong and supportive of the rest of my body.  I have noticed clearer definition and added strength during the past few weeks.  The variety of exercises - from ring pull ups to kettle bell pullovers - has kept me entertained while at the same time feeling very accomplished.  I would recommend Ryan to anyone who needs to be transformed!  He’s able to take what I brought him and make it into a stronger and more purposeful body in only a few weeks!
