graduating college, Ryan was able to move up the ladder and assume the role
of Wellness Director at this facility. He has worked with people of all
ages, many who were suffering from illness and injury, such as multiple
sclerosis and diabetes. He assisted these people in many rehabilitative
techniques and exercises so they could improve their overall health and live
pain free. He also instructed a "Gait training" class for elderly adults
who struggled maintaining their balance during everyday life. He was even
fortunate enough to design and facilitate a "Peak Performance Program" for
young athletes who wanted to excel in athletics. He feels that his
experiences will be very valuable when assembling workouts for the members
at 24/7 Fitness Club. Ryan knows that it is very important to make workouts
challenging and results driven, yet enjoyable for his clients as well.
