"As someone who has worked out with Ryan consistently, five days a week, for 2 1/2 years, he has done an excellent job. Not only in representing the gym but also building a relationship with me that I would consider invaluable as an employer. In my 2 1/2 years working with him, he has never missed a training session. I certainly have, but he has never not been available. This would include weekends and 17 days in a row last year when I was getting ready for an athletic event. The hardest working trainer in the city. I've been working with him for years, and dude knows his stuff. If your looking to get in shape, this is the man, and the gym, to go to."

"Ryan is my only brother. He's adopted."

"Ryan really cares about me. He has been patient while I'm learning about strength training. He is very attentive and not intimidating. He is pushing me to do things I never thought I could do. I feel like I really get a good training from him. The gym is well appointed and clean. He's got a great place. I can tell he is very passionate about making a great experience for all his clients. If you're on the fence, just do it! You'll kill it with him by your side. Thanks, Ryan!"

"Best decision I could have made to improve my fitness goals. As a former Professional MMA fighter and current BJJ competitor I needed someone to help repair old injuries and increase my strength and performance. I have gotten that and more! I can't believe how much stronger I have already gotten (Ryan tracks it and the numbers don't lie). My shoulder and back issues have improved quite a bit as well. Fair to say I will NEVER go back to training without the superior coaching I receive at Valley Strength and Fitness! All trainers and strength coaches ARE NOT created equal! Come train with the best!"

"Thank you, Ryan! You did more for me than PT ever did. It's been more than two years since you got me back to exercising after my surgery. I could only walk a half a block before the pain would stop me. I'm up to 6 miles easily and only stop for lack of time. I've now lost 40 lbs since then and every month keeps getting easier. Your confidence and attitude and kindness made all the difference. Anne says hi, too and that she hopes you don't still have ropes."

"Ryan at Valley Strength and Fitness will absolutely help you achieve your fitness goals. His knowledge is in point and the custom tailored nutrition and fitness plans are top notch!! 👍 👍 👍 👍 💯 💯"

"When I first entered Valley strength and fitness, I knew I wanted a change in the lifestyle I currently led. Ryan helped me not only understand what was necessary inside the gym to accomplish my goals, but he also assisted me in knowing how to evaluate my own diet in order to reach my desired weight loss. He gave me the tools necessary and the encouragement, and accountability I needed to succeed. In my time with Ryan I have lost over 25lbs and 6 inches off my waist. He is both professional and diligent in helping me to prepare diet and training plans that I could realistically achieve, taking into account my own personal needs. Thank you, Valley Strength and Fitness and specifically Ryan Achenbach for giving me the tools that I can use well into my future."

"I was looking for a fitness trainer who will push me and get me going well on my way to my body goals and Ryan exceeded my expectations! He is an interactive trainer and his sessions are seamless. He educates and clearly communicates what the selected workouts supposed to target. He explains how your muscles work as you position yourself on the different machines. He thoroughly goes over correct forms vs how one can injure themselves so you can feel confident about what he is having you work! Valley strength and fitness is clean, private, new and perfect for a productive workout session. Parking is easy and you can also run multiple errands before or after as it is a great location! Highly recommended!"

"I'm a 300lb+ female, have a lot of physical pain for various reasons and I struggle with some severe anxiety. I decided to try sessions with Ryan because I'm desperate to get in better shape and health. I would normally be more comfortable working with a woman, but I saw Ryan had the best reviews out there and I thought I should check him out. And man am I grateful I did! I've lifted wrong my entire life. People would always say 'lift with your legs not your back' but my mind-body connection wasn't there and it's caused me a great deal of physical pain to my back and sciatica. Ryan has the BEST way of explaining things so you get it. He'll also make sure you do! He'll say 'make sense?' and if it doesn't, then he'll explain a different way. He encourages you to take videos of him, and he'll take some of you if you want so you can see the difference and know what to change. He also genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond for them..."

"Working with Ryan has provided me a powerful platform to be consistent with my workouts. Ryan is a great motivator, he pushes you to your limits and further so that you can reach your ultimate potential. I look forward to continuing my workouts when Valley Strength and Fitness is in full force. So proud of you Ryan. Mona McCarthy Ryan is an amazing trainer. He listens to the client and you will work together to achieve your goals. He will push you, for sure, but only so that you get what you want, not to meet some imaginary standard..."

"A couple of years ago, I was a frequent visitor at a gym with no results no matter how hard I worked out. It was very frustrating and very discouraging. My workouts were getting more and more infrequent. Then I met Ryan Achenbach and everything changed. I told him my goal was to tone and have a stronger upper body. My weak arms and flabby stomach were frustrating me. I mentioned to him that no matter what I did at the gym I was getting zero results. Ryan listens intently to what your goals are and makes you feel very comfortable talking about how you want your body to improve..."

"I would like to give my own testimony of why I had selected Ryan as my personal trainer. I had been coming to the gym for years and was ready for a new challenge. The club was offering free 30 minute session with a trainer of your choice. I selected Rocky purely on his number of years of service. A few days after, a gym friend of mine had suggested that Ryan and I should train together. All Ryan asked for was the same opportunity that I'd given Rocky. The differences in their approach to providing me a free session could not be any more different..."

"Working with Ryan has truly been live changing for me. He's knowledgeable and truly cares about his clients. He coaches me on strength and nutrition. With his help I have lost 75 lbs since May. I have become strong and have increased my stamina since working with him. I have met fitness goals along the way. I know I will meet other goals with Ryan by my side. The gym is well equipped and I'm thankful for all the instruction Ryan gives during each exercise. If you're thinking about making a change, either in your personal journey to become healthy, or you are an elite athlete already, looking for the competitive edge, he's your partner..."

"Working out with Ryan has been such a great way to get back into fitness! He does not repeat workouts and tailors each one to the level you are at to be challenging but helping to get the most out of the strength training. He is knowledgeable and follows up about how you're doing to see where he needs to make adjustments to push you more. He will talk nutrition with you as well-all about teaching you total fitness to attain your best body. The model Ryan uses at his gym to have it accessible to you as long as you are training with him is great as well..."

"After having 3 kids and on the verge of turning 30 I had some extra weight that I struggled getting rid of. I've had two other trainers in years past and both neither really worked out and wasn't much helpful. I met with Ryan and the first session he taught me everything you need to know about nutrition and reading nutrition labels which has been such a huge help alone. The workouts are amazing and he takes the time to teach you proper form for each workout so you don't harm yourself..."

"I am a former client of Ryan's when he was a trainer at my gym. Let me tell you, he is an EXCELLENT trainer. I was a 58-ish year old woman, told him exactly what I wanted (Don't treat me like an old lady) and he trained me beautifully. I was never in such good shape. Never did I invest in myself more wisely. I can't speak highly enough of his skill in training."

"I highly recommend Valley Strength and fitness.He motivated me to try hard on each exercise and showed me how to properly workout using form and technique. He definitely pushed me to my limits and it was well worth I will be booking more sessions in the future. 👌🏽"

"Ryan is super professional, efficient, listens well and knows his stuff. In 8 weeks he helped me reach some key goals as a middle aged woman. I saw some real changes in my body and strength. He will always be a key part of my strength plan in the future. I can't recommend him enough!!!"

"I started training with Ryan Achenbach at the end of July 2015. After spending the summer disgusted with the look of my sagging, wrinkling arms, and avoiding sleeveless clothing the entire summer, I decided I needed to see if there was anything that could be done to firm, and tone up my arms. My arms were beginning to resemble my mother's arms with the skin sagging off the bones. I decided to try personal training, although I really didn't think at my age, it would make a difference. I had never done any type of weight training in the past, but had done just about everything else, running, aerobics, cycling, etc, with only minor results..."
