From wrestling to the UFC, Ryan’s coaching has been a game-changer. Personalized plans, expert guidance, and unwavering support have helped me achieve peak performance throughout my athletic career.
My collaboration with Ryan began at Lock Haven University and has continued throughout my athletic career, which included collegiate wrestling and professional MMA, culminating in the UFC. His ability to personalize training and nutrition plans is truly exceptional. He understands that every athlete is different and takes the time to create a program tailored to individual needs, preferences, and goals. Ryan’s expertise has been instrumental in my success, from optimizing my strength and conditioning to managing weight cuts for MMA fights. He’s been a constant source of support and guidance, helping me navigate the challenges of competitive sports and achieve peak performance. I highly recommend Ryan to any athlete seeking to maximize their potential.

“I followed the nutrition plan that we worked out. I learned how to actually exercise as I was no slouch, but clearly wasn’t doing something properly. I was on four different medication’s one of them being thyroid and after about three years, I started to wean off of all of them and was medication free for almost 6 years. I ended up having emergent abdominal surgery…and never thought I’d train again…but since then I am stronger mentally and physically than I ever thought was possible after that surgery. MHA and Ryan never gave up on me. 60-65 lbs GONE!”
I’d reached 232 pounds and was desperate for a solution. I’d tried everything, but nothing seemed to work. Ryan’s personalized program at MHA was the turning point. He understood my struggles and provided the encouragement and expertise I needed to succeed. The weight loss was significant, but even more importantly, my overall health improved dramatically. I was able to eliminate medications I’d been on for years and finally break free from constant headaches. My journey took an unexpected turn with a major abdominal surgery and a colostomy. I was devastated and unsure if I’d ever be able to train again. But Ryan and MHA were there for me every step of the way, adapting my program and providing the unwavering support I needed to recover and rebuild my strength. They never gave up on me, and I never gave up on myself. I’m now stronger, both mentally and physically, than I ever thought possible. MHA has helped me transform my life.

“After around a year and a half working with Ryan, I lost over 150 pounds… Progressing towards being able-bodied and able-minded has completely changed my life – and it will change yours. The relationship with Ryan is more like having a mentor and guardrail for staying on a path to success. If you want to work on your mind and body, I fully encourage you to consult with Ryan.”
When I first met Ryan, I weighed 416 pounds. I was embarrassed and uncomfortable in my own skin. His approach was different. He understood that true transformation requires addressing both the physical and mental aspects of health. He created a personalized plan that included exercise, nutrition guidance, and, most importantly, mental and emotional support. He helped me understand the behaviors that had led to my weight gain and provided the tools to change them. The weight loss has been incredible, but the biggest change has been in my self-confidence and overall well-being. Ryan is more than just a trainer; he’s a mentor who has guided me on a journey of self-discovery and lasting change. If you’re ready to invest in your whole self, I encourage you to work with Ryan.

Working with Ryan has been a game-changer for me. Before I started training with him, I struggled with debilitating back pain that would flare up regularly, impacting my daily life. Since working with Ryan, I haven’t had a single flare-up, and my back feels stronger than ever. His expertise goes beyond just standard training; his advice, like the simple adjustment of keeping my feet straight, has made a world of difference—something even my doctors, physical therapists, and chiropractors hadn’t suggested.
Not only has my back improved, but I’ve also lost weight and started seeing toned muscles for the first time in years. The results didn’t come overnight; it took time, consistency, and trust in Ryan’s methods, but the journey has been worth every moment. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness. He truly knows what he’s doing, and I believe in his methods 100%.

The Matter Health Associates app has made remote personal training motivating and easy to access. With direct access to my personal trainer and daily and weekly reminders, it’s been easy to remain consistent and achieve my goals. Accessing my custom workouts is easy and with the instructional videos, I can learn new exercises and know I am approaching them the right way. The app also connects to my third-party apps like Garmin and Strava making uploading my workouts and fitness data a breeze.

The MHA app has upped my fitness game in so many ways. I actually didn’t know it would. I’m loving the designated workouts since for me. I’m always at a loss of what body parts to do with what and how many things to do per day. It is paired with my Strava and MyFitnessPal app which also helped keep me accountable by showing all of my daily food intake if recorded properly and my exercise paired with my personal training, it has held me much more accountable… Lastly, it’s easily accessible on my Apple Watch, and easy to find everything I want to find on the app quickly.

I am loving the app! It has been so beneficial for me while training my first body building show to have direct access with my coach. I am able to communicate my meals to him and learn what to add/subtract from my plan. I am also able to see live videos of the exercises to complete in order to ensure I am doing them correctly. It is excellent and I recommend it to anyone from first starting out to an avid weight lifter. I am doing my first bodybuilding show and this works perfect for my busy schedule.
