Ryan Gant, NASM Certified Personal Trainer
Growing up in Hickory and being an athlete, I have been blessed to see how fitness has shaped my life. Out of high school, I attended Catawba Valley Community College where I played baseball and was a part of the 2012 College World Series Team. There, I gained further knowledge of the necessities of physical fitness and how crucial nutrition plays a role in athletics. With this new found love, I decided to attend Lenoir Rhyne University and earn my Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science so that I could help others pursue their fitness goals.
While taking classes at LRU, I was able to intern at Catawba Valley Medical Center in the Cardiac Rehab department. I gained valuable experience working with patients generally over 40 years of age. This not only helped me gain more knowledge on helping patients obtain their fitness goals but also helped me create lasting relationships with my clients. Upon graduation, I started working at Physical Therapy Specialists with the title of Exercise Specialist. There, potential candidates applying for physically demanding jobs are put through a series of strenuous physical tests to make sure they are qualified for the position applied for. I work hand in hand with one of the most renowned Physical Therapists in the area, Mike Moreau. We instruct clients on proper lifting techniques along with exercises to do to keep them injury free. Also, I was able to work at the local YMCA as a Wellness Coach and Personal Trainer where I was able to train clients of all ages and backgrounds. During this time, I obtained my Personal Training Certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
Being an athlete for over 75 % of my life has had a direct impact on the way I train. An athlete trains for power, strength, endurance, and speed. It is important to train every aspect in order to out-perform their opponent. I can train you in each of these aspects. However, my background in cardiac rehab and physical therapy has also allowed me to gain experience working with older adults. By allowing me to be your trainer I will be able to help you with regaining general strength, endurance, and a healthier lifestyle. I understand everyone needs an outlet to escape the realities and pressures of everyday life. Fitness provides the relief to those stresses, no matter the age. Training with me, you will receive nothing but full dedication to not only pursue your goals, but exceed them.
