Ryan Girvan

Before I started with Ryan I was so unhappy with myself, no motivation to do anything and everything was always il start tomorrow, then would turn into the next day and so on. Signed up with Ryan and he gave me the help and guidance for workouts, nutrition and just life in general. He was always there for any doubt I had about anything no matter how stupid I thought it was. He has taught me to be happy with myself again, also gave me the motivation to keep going. I cant really put in words how much he has helped me tbh. At first I thought it was just about getting your body healthy but he has shown me its much more than that. Can not recommend him enough, top guy!

The biggest challenge before I started coaching with Ryan was knowledge and understanding on how to correctly perform exercises in the gym, as well as having a routine within the gym. It was overwhelming to think of all the different muscles groups I wanted to target, and overwhelming thinking of all the different exercises that could be done to target those muscles. It become very frustrating not knowing how to perform exercises correctly to see and feels the gains that I wanted. This only led to me not feeling confident in continuing at the gym. This also led me to continue doing the same routine and only doing exercises that I felt comfortable with rather than pushing myself. What Ryan offered was a sense of encouragement and guidance needed for me to know that I can have at ability to do what he is teaching me by myself. Ryan's service in tailored in such a way that he wants you to go on and do what he has taught you by yourself. He encourages you to push yourself even when he is not around. Also, Ryan offers more than just physical and gym training, but offers mindset hints and tips. This was something that I hadn't seen from other PTs and coaches. He really listens to what it is you are struggling with and takes time to think about how to assist you specifically. It doesn't feel like he is reading from a prepared script. Everything feels authentic and has intention behind what he is saying. For me, I realised things were changing for me when I started to go to the gym with a clear purpose and plan of what I wanted to achieve by the end of that session. I didn't feel I was just doing whatever felt right, but that I was pushing myself thanks to the tips Ryan had set out for me. I've gained confidence in the gym. Going to machines and doing exercises that I would have never done before had I not started with Ryan as a coach. For anyone thinking of starting with Ryan I would say to just start and see the results for yourself. He provides you with so many tools to help with whatever you may be struggling with.

Learning to believe in myself and my own ability I knew was going to be a struggle when I started with Ryan but the support and understanding he gave me was invaluable. I had plenty frustrations with myself but he helped me understand what I had already achieved which helped me turn it around so I wasnt slipping backwards. I think whats unique about Ryans service is it is tailored to you as an individual not just physically and mentally. It took me a while to realise how much I had been progressing my challenge was getting out my own head which was a lot to do with the support Ryan gave me and once I had done that I am confident that I can continue to develop myself and strong on the outside as well as the inside. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone that genuinely wants better themselves not just physically.

Before working with Ryan I lacked determination and motivation regarding going to the gym and a poor understanding regarding the nutritional side of thing. I often went to the gym with little to no planning, winging everything session, and not seeing any results Since starting to train with Ryan, he has managed to change my mindset completely. After setting out a clear, and easy to follow workout and nutritional plan, it has been an ease following it. Ryan made what seemed my biggest challenge, so simple and easy to understanding, very quickly after starting with him. Ryan is extremely approachable and has a great way of speaking with his clients. Ryan breaks down any challenges you have, and comes up with its solutions for them, which has helped me massively throughout. He takes massive interests in all his clients, helping me with some not fitness related challenges I have had as well. Ryan has completely changed my overall approach relating to fitness and the nutritional side. I am now more confident than I have ever been in being able to manage both of these aspects myself, thanks to Ryan. If anyone is considering starting with Ryan I most definitely would not hesitate and get yourself started. Ryan gets results out of people. Not only that but he is a class guy who cares about his clients. Definitely sign up

Before I started coaching with Ryan, I had been in and out of the gym for around 6 months but never had any real structure or even knowledge to do what I wanted to do. I often stuck to doing the same things day in and out and was too nervous to try anything new for fear of not doing it right. I knew what I wanted to achieve but lacked the confidence to pursue it, which led me to becoming stuck in a constant cycle of never fully committing to the gym, therefore, never progressing. Ryan really gets you to think deeper about why you want to achieve what you want to achieve, why your goals are significant and what's actually important to you in the whole scale of things. He allowed me to understand why I stop myself from doing certain things, how specific actions in my life aren't serving me and even helped me create a new perspective for my future by showing me how to figure out my true values. Not only did Ryan help with coaching and fitness, but he also helped me in other areas of my life that I was struggling with such as anxiety, self-confidence and body image issues. At first, I felt uncomfortable with sharing personal struggles with him, but he was always very appreciative and put a massive effort into trying to understand me better by providing me with resources to again, get to the deeper reasoning for all of these. Ryans knowledge in the gym was extremely beneficial for me as he showed me how to do everything that I was interested in doing. I had never properly done weight training before and Ryan went straight into it with me by showing me specific movements, telling me how your muscles are working and giving tips on what I should and shouldnt be feeling. He also pushed me harder than I couldve pushed myself every week in the gym and showed me how much I'm really capable of doing. I was pretty clueless when it came to food and had never consistently had a food plan or tracked anything and with Ryans help I was able to learn more about the importance of meals, protein intake and how to properly track my macros by calculating my calories, giving me food recommendations and checking in with me regularly with all these things. After the first month of training with Ryan I felt my confidence in the gym increase massively which allowed me to easily head to the gym on my own and complete my gym plan without that apprehension that I was experiencing before. I completed my first 12 weeks with him and decided to continue doing another 12 weeks with him as I was enjoying it so much and felt we could make even more progress together. After the 6 months of PT with Ryan, I am a completely different person in the gym. I know what I am doing, I go to the gym every week, I know my goals and how to achieve these, I have the knowledge now to try new things on my own now without the fear of failure, I'm confident in my eating and tracking and I could now never see my life going back to the way it was before I started my fitness journey with him. Ryan is a great coach with a massive amount of knowledge in many different aspects relating to fitness, health, wellbeing and lifestyle. He always has a positive happy attitude, really cares about his clients and after every session with him I left the gym feeling a happier person than I did before. I would 100% recommend him to anyone thinking about starting PT as it was one of the best things I couldve done for myself.
