I am Ryan Henry, born in Stamford, Connecticut, but it was in Fort Lauderdale,  where my fitness journey began. From a young age, I saw how fitness could unite people and improve lives. Today, I own and operate RyFitness, driven by the belief that everyone deserves to look and feel their best. My motivation comes from seeing my clients transform physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually and financially.
‍
My journey into the world of fitness took a significant turn during my college years. I pursued a degree in Exercise Science from the University of West Florida. Armed with this knowledge and fueled by a personal desire to educate and empower my community about health and fitness, I embarked on a career as a personal trainer. My earliest clients included my own mother and her friends, who experienced remarkable transformations under my guidance. Their journeys inspired me to expand my reach and share my passion with the world.

My role as Director of Sports Performance at Chicago State University reflects my unwavering dedication to the pursuit of athletic excellence, holistic well-being, and community engagement.I am proud of the contributions I've made during my tenure, which have undoubtably left a lasting impact on the university's sports programs and the lives of the student athletes I've had the privilege to mentor and train.

But my commitment to community well-being extends beyond the gym. I've organized and hosted various events, such as "Walk with Mommy," aimed at educating women about breast cancer and encouraging healthy lifestyle choices to reduce risks. I've also taken the lead in the "Healthy Kids Backpack" Giveaway event, raising awareness about childhood obesity. These initiatives reflect my dedication to giving back to the community that has supported my journey.
‍
My ongoing dream is to inspire individuals of all ages and backgrounds to embrace fitness, leading them toward healthier lives and fostering a stronger sense of community. With my unwavering dedication and expertise, I am excited to join you on your journey towards health and fitness, ready to guide and support you in achieving your goals.
