My 12 year old son had just started boxing sessions with Coach Ryan 2-3 times a week, and he connected with him right away. He usually takes a little while to open up to new people, but he was laughing and fully engaged during his very first session. I even showed his dad a video afterward, and he said, "I don't think I've ever seen him smile like that during any of his other lessons or activities." Since then, my son genuinely looks forward to every session. I'm so glad we found Coach Ryan. He's patient, encouraging, and has a way of making kids feel comfortable while still keeping them motivated. He already feels like a great mentor and someone we've known for a long time. If you're on the fence about signing your child up, I'd definitely recommend reaching out to Coach Ryan. We're so happy we did, and I have a feeling you'll be glad you did too. read more

So glad we found Coach Ryan. He works so well with kids! My 9 year old loves him because he is patient and makes boxing "fun" for him. I've seen a ton of growth in his demeanor and confidence level, even after a few sessions. Coach is also very reliable and communicates very well (which is a huge thing for me, considering all of our busy schedules). I can't wait to see him grow further in his boxing journey with Coach Ryan! Definitely reach out to him to begin or for a trial if you are on the fence! read more

I was looking for a private one on one boxing instructor and called numerous locations/ people. Right off the bat in speaking with Ryan over the phone , I felt comfortable with him. He is that easygoing , calm guy that just made it so easy to go back and forth with. That translated into the lessons as well. I was nervous and a little intimated with the idea of trying something new and he has made it so easy. I look forward to the lesson and feel like he is a wealth of knowledge and skill without the big ego . I would recommend Ryan to anyone , whatever your skill level is. read more

I've been training with Coach Ryan for about 4 months now, and the progress I've made has been incredible. He's patient, motivating, and really knows how to push you to do your best while keeping the workouts fun and challenging. My technique, strength, and confidence have all improved so much since starting with him. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to get serious about boxing or just wanting a great workout! read more

If anyone is interested in starting boxing, I highly recommend training with Ryan. I've been training with him for over a year now, and I've never enjoyed boxing as much as I do now. I always learn so much during my sessions and can see myself improving. Ryan ensures I'm doing things correctly, and if I struggle with certain moves, he focuses on those until get them right. The biggest takeaway from training with Ryan is that he challenges you physically and mentally. Though I tend to hesitate with new challenges, he's helped me realize I can apply this strong mindset to my daily life and overcome fear of trying new things. I truly appreciate his passion and dedication in every session. Go sign up a session with him! I wish everyone knew how fun boxing training with him can be. read more

I was 41, overweight, and knew nothing about boxing when I first started working with coach Ryan. Over the last year and half, he has coached the heck out of me, so much so that not only did I lose 30 pounds, but also participated and won my very first boxing competition at age 42! Dream come true! During the competition, coach Ryan and the team were always at the corner supporting me, as he always has in every phase of my training. When I first met him, I could tell he is built different. Not only is he a great coach, but is also an active fighter, and hence he personally really does what he preaches. He really knows his stuff, and is extremely professional and knowledgeable about his fields of expertise, including MMA, boxing, and wrestling. On top of that, coach Ryan comes from a family with multiple fighters, so this stuff is in his genes and bloodline!!! In the process of training with him, ALL of his suggestions work! There were a couple times when I wanted to try and see if my own way is better, but turns out his suggestion always works and is always better! Somewhere down the road I started to trust him completely and do what he says without even a blink (especially during the competition). I am also very surprised and impressed with the diversity of coach Ryan's students. I have seen him working with toddlers, teenagers, adults, boys, girls, men, women, geriatrics such as myself, beginners, intermediate, collegiate competitors, state champs, and even pro mma fighter (his own brother, ask him, he will proudly show you), he coaches all and works well with all of them. I personally have participated in Coach Ryan's group classes, sparring classes, as well as private session 1vs1 classes, he would explain and show you techniques to a great extent that not a lot of coaches would go to. I personally have also done a lot of research on boxing coaches' and boxing clubs' pricing, and I personally think coach Ryan's price is reasonable. His lessons and sessions will definitely let you have the bang for your buck! When it was close to my competition, I had to sit there and rest for about five minutes after the training session just to put my shoes on, and that was exactly the type of intensity and training I was looking for! One word of advice, when Coach Ryan asks you how you are feeling, instead of responding "I am fine thank you" as most social convention dictates, let him know how you really feel physically, and he will adjust the training accordingly and customize it to your needs for that day on the spot, that's how good he is! read more
