The Team
I'm Ryan! I have almost 20 years in the fitness world, and I’ve worn just about every hat — competitor, coach, and gym owner. As a 7x CrossFit Regional athlete, elite division competitor at Wodapalooza, and USA Weightlifting Nationals qualifier, I know firsthand what it takes to perform at a high level. During my years of throwing down in CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting, I spent 12 years running my own gym, where I coached everyone from first-time lifters to seasoned athletes and built a community I’m proud of. These days, what excites me most is designing programs that truly fit the person in front of me. I focus on helping people get stronger, move without pain, prevent injuries, and actually enjoy their training — no matter their age, background, or goals. Every plan I create is rooted in proven training methods and backed by personalized nutrition support, so clients can move, feel, and live their best

Leeza Coolidge
I’m Leeza — former competitive gymnast turned CrossFit junkie and coach. After 10 years in gymnastics, I fell in love with CrossFit as a way to stay competitive, push myself, and find a new challenge. I graduated from UCLA with a psychology degree, which I love weaving into my coaching to help athletes not just move better, but think better too. These days, I’m chasing my competitive goals in CrossFit. I spent 9 months training alongside some of the world's best CrossFit athletes at Training Think Tank, and enjoy constantly leveling up my knowledge in the fitness world. Nutrition, supplementation, and interpreting bloodwork are huge passions of mine — I love helping people capitalize on what’s going on “under the hood” so they can perform, recover, and feel their best. Coaching is where I shine, whether it’s helping someone hit their first pull-up, crush their first muscle-up, or finally nail a skill they’ve been chasing. I love teaching, taking new courses, and coaching in person — all to help people move better, feel stronger, and love the process.
