walks of life. Ryan describes why he started Athon, "For me, it was the logical progression. I was a competitive athlete and had already been using athlete conditioning methods to help “non-athletes” improve their fitness, health, and performance. So I wanted to create a facility where we could combine the methods of athlete conditioning, sports medicine, and traditional personal training to really help people improve their lives. Working with athletes and “non-athletes” are really just two sides of the same coin. Our methods are good for athletes, business professionals, older adults, and anyone else who wants to look, feel and perform better." Athlon training is tailored to each individual client. Whether you are a beginner in every aspect, an athlete in the making, or someone just looking for a new, unique approach to fitness, the team at Athlon will curate a program to your specific needs. Unlike many other inexperienced fitness programs that implement a “one-size-fits-all” approach, Athlon’s professional coaches, with 70 years of combined experience, deliver highly customized and scientifically proven fitness and performance programs. Their offerings include private/semi-private and small group personal training, sports performance, and basic gym memberships. Anyone interested in personal training will follow Athlon's five-step system:
• STEP 1: Define Your Fitness Goals • STEP 2: Assess Your Current Fitness & Performance Level • STEP 3: Design the Perfect Personal Training Program • STEP 4: Coaching, Expert Guidance, Accountability • STEP 5: Reassess Every 4 Weeks Ryan explains that ultimately, Athlon’s mission is to help promote and improve the fitness, health and vitality of our community. "We believe that public health entails a lot more than what is currently being promoted. Our community would be a lot better off being more fit. Athlon’s methods have the ability to deliver on that; young, old, athlete, non-athlete, whatever!” No matter what your goal, or starting point, Athlon helps you look, feel, and perform at your best, so you can create the life you want!
