COACH RYAN
Hi, I'm Ryan Shanahan.
50+ and Bold — We're Not Old.
I've been a professional fitness trainer for over 35 years. After a brief professional hockey career ended due to injury, I went on to represent Canada at the Duathlon World Championships in Atlanta, place 2nd in the Mr. Toronto Bodybuilding Contest, and compete in MMA.
Despite a lifetime in fitness, I suffered from chronic back pain for years. Discovering new fascia stretching techniques ( differnet then I first practiced in 1988) changed everything.
Within 30 days, my years of back pain was gone.
But that was just the beginning...
As I released different tensions I didn't even realize I was carrying, I experienced benefits I never expected. That last bit of stubborn belly fat disappeared, the wrinkles in my face softened, and my skin looked fuller and healthier.
The truth is, I became addicted to feeling that Great.
Today, I guide you to eliminate pain, move better, and feel stronger through my proven Coach Ryan Method, I've developed from decades of training, competition, and personal experience.
Move better. Feel better. Live boldly.
