Ryan Freligh
Hi there, my name’s Ryan! I’m a Tampa Bay native with a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from the University of Central Florida.
With an extensive history in athletics – both competing and coaching – I’ve had the privilege of training people of all ages and backgrounds. From individuals on the autism spectrum, to military personnel, first-responders, youth, and the elderly, it’s always a joy training someone from a different walk of life.
With my training rooted in a sports-performance approach, I provide people with the knowledge, tools and skills needed for success in and outside the gym. I look forward to aiding you on your fitness journey!
