Ryan is the driving force behind RyNo Strength, a VIP personal training experience based in Chicago’s Lincoln Park that elevates both body and mind for busy professionals and ex-athletes.

Ryan then spent nearly a decade as a Division 1 strength and conditioning coach—then, in the tumultuous spring of 2020, he launched RyNo Strength on his own terms.
