@ryanfiene
Strength and conditioning coach specializing in corrective programming and lasting client results.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a strength and conditioning specialist and personal trainer with 20+ years in the fitness and wellness industry, focused on building strong client relationships and delivering repeatable results. I bring a results-driven, professional coaching style backed by NASM-CPT, NSCA-CSCS, CrossFit L1, Paoli Freestyle Movement and Gymnastics, and FMS credentials. My client retention strength is reflected in maintaining over 80% retention throughout my work.
I’ve consistently stood out for performance and leadership—ranked #1 in training sessions redeemed in 12 of 17 months across a 30-trainer region, and promoted from Level II to Level III trainer due to outstanding results. I also earned Best New Employee out of 25 people for rapid new client package sign-ups. In leadership roles, I improved personal training sales by $100,000 annually, increased membership dues by $15,000 annually, and developed small group training initiatives that helped grow revenue centers.
In my current role as a Personal Trainer at The Athleticus, I design and implement Corrective Holistic Exercise & Kinesiology programming to bridge physical therapy and strength & conditioning. I use Trainerize for program design and monitor progress with performance feedback and “InBody” results. I’ve also expanded client experience through a Recovery Room build-out, including assembling and testing a sauna, massage, and room design, while previously pivoting to a virtual training model during the pandemic.
