Hey there! I’m Ryan Munsey and I want to welcome you to my site. Here’s what you need to know about me: I am an athlete who fell in love with the weight room, strength training, and muscle building.

I am currently a National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist with a B.S. in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Clemson University. Over the last decade, my fitness journey has taken me around the country and covered several categories within the fitness industry.

My journey began as a skinny fat, weak, slow and unathletic high school athlete. I sat the bench through most of my high school basketball career because I was slow and weak. But my embarrassment and pain is your ticket to success. You see, I was determined to fix those problems and I’ve spent the last 10 years bleeding, sweating, scratching, and clawing to overcome my genetics and build as much strength and muscle as possible. Since I wasn’t genetically gifted, I’ve had to learn more than your average person to get to where I am today. Over the years, I’ve fallen in love with the iron and my passion has become my life. I live, breath, and sleep strength and nutrition.

My metamorphosis began as a student at Clemson University, where I first fell in love with the weight room. As I pursued bodybuilding and modeling aspirations, I also majored in Food Science and Human Nutrition. I began burying my head in the latest research in pursuit of the best training and nutrition strategies available. My roommate and childhood friend, Adam Linkenauger became on of my first ever clients. Along with Adam, a 7X ACC high-jump champion, I began helping other track and football athletes at Clemson with their training and nutrition. Several athletes went on to win conference titles and 2 now play in the NFL. I was hooked! I knew right then, that I wanted to spend my life educating and helping others improve themselves. My own pursuits took me to Dallas, Atlanta, and LA for bodybuilding and modeling shows and photo shoots. During spring break of my final year at Clemson, I went to New York City and signed a modeling contract with the modeling agency Red. After graduation, I headed for New York to pursue fashion and fitness modeling. I had many great experiences but ultimately, I was told to lose muscle and get smaller…NO THANKS! I began my personal training career while in New York, before moving home to Virginia about a year later. Once again, I found myself in the gym, this time a Strength coach and nutritionist. I am still there today, continuing to fill my mind with knowledge and experience and my muscles with blood and nutrients! I have been fortunate to work with clients and athletes of all ages, abilities, and fitness pursuits. From professional and D-I athletes, to high school athletes, average joes, bodybuilders, strongmen, powerlifters, and retirees, my athletes and clients have lost body fat, increased muscle size, and gotten physical stronger. But more importantly, they have gained knowledge, mental strength, better health, and improved their lives!

Great athletes are made. Not born. And greatness is never an accident. Greatness requires hard work, determination, and perseverance. If you have those traits, I am here to provide the training and nutrition knowledge and support you need to reach greatness. Whether your goal is a 40-inch vertical leap, cover model abs, or simply to lose weight and get healthy, I am your go-to guy! Every day is a choice…you never stay the same. We move closer to or farther away from our goals everyday. Which way are you going?

I’m grateful to have you here and I encourage you to follow along as I #PursuePerfection and push my athletes to do the same!
