He prepared and coached me for my first National Physique Committee competition, in which I won two medals at the age of 52! Dr. Ryder was with me the whole way through, including at the shows themselves. I'm very happy that Dr. Ryder and his team are here and plan on using them inevitably!"

Jason B.- "I began my training to try and stay fit during COVID-19. The owner made us feel safe and secure by only having one person in the building at a time, wearing a mask, taking our temperatures when we walk in the door and wiping all the machines down that are used after each session. Dr. Ryder is an excellent trainer and even though I'm a senior citizen pushes me to the next level even when I think I can't do it. However, saying that, he truly watches out for problem areas and makes sure that he doesn't push you to pain. I've felt much better since going there and even have done some exercises at home that I usually wouldn't do. I highly recommend that you check this place and Dr. Ryder out if you are thinking about toning up."

Patricia P.- "I truly enjoy going. Dr. Ryder is very knowledgeable, and keeps every session challenging."

Cindy S.- "My daughter needed help training for her Wild Land Fire Fitness Test. She was struggling with the required amount of weight to carry and finishing within the allotted time. She had 6 weeks. In just 6 weeks, her trainer Doctor Johnny Ryder worked with her twice a week and today, she achieved her goal, passed the test and is now a qualified firefighter! I am over the moon excited that she accomplished this, and Ryder Fitness was instrumental in helping her achieve her goal. Thank you, Dr. Ryder and Ryder Fitness Personal Training Studios!!!"

Linda P.- "I love going to Ryder Fitness! Dr. Ryder is a great trainer, he knows when to take it up a notch, as well as giving you a break when it’s needed!

Shelley G.- "My trainer Dr. Johnny Ryder is responsive and supportive. His workouts are challenging, and I believe he will help me to be able to reach my goals."

Mary O.- "I was happy to find this place. I need accountability and encouragement in my working out. I generally do classes but did not find a class up here on the mountain that pushed me enough to maintain what I had attained in my gym classes in Tucson. Dr. Johnny Ryder is an excellent trainer and is attentive to my form and pushes me when I need it."

Tina R.- "Just started training with Dr. Johnny from Ryder Fitness a few weeks ago. He is absolutely amazing at pushing me to my limits, but still understanding of medical issues I'm facing. SOOOOOO much better than a gym. I truly appreciate his dedication and him challenging me, step by step, to do more."

Gabrielle C.- "I signed up for an 8 pack, but due to living in Florida (visiting for the holiday), I could sadly only go for 5 days. I'm part of my weightlifting team back home, and I wanted to learn ways of strengthening my minor/major muscles efficiently rather than depending on doing the lifts themselves to get stronger. Dr. Ryder was extremely patient with me, as I've never had the chance to work with actual equipment before (usually I'm limited to a weight set.) I came to him to learn, and I did just that. In between learning new workouts, new breathing methods, and learning more about myself, my entire experience with him was extremely positive and motivating. As someone who wants to go into his field of work, he is definitely a positive example of who a fitness trainer is, someone who is patient, motivating, observant, and strongly cares about how is client is doing, and getting them through some tough sets. Although I was told I'm younger than the usual clientele, I strongly recommend Dr. Ryder, regardless of if you are a teenage athlete, or a senior that wishes to keep their health up."

Ingrid M.- "Dr. Johnny Ryder is knowledgeable and encouraging. I have only had a few sessions and I already feel great. The studio is very clean and has great equipment."

Valerie D.- "I continue to be a very happy Ryder Fitness client! Dr. Johnny Ryder is always adding new, excellent equipment. He is already an experienced expert, but he also continually grows his knowledge through research and staying attentive to his clients' needs."

Kathryn H.- "I am really happy with Ryder Fitness. Dr. Ryder has been able to help me work on my goals while maneuvering around my various physical issues."

Gavynn P.- "Signed up for 16 weeks with Dr. Johnny Ryder. (couch to gym for me) I've had three sessions so far and i have to say- wow! Not only is Dr. Ryder extremely patient, but he is also friendly and really gets to know his clients. He knows exactly how far to "push" me without risk of injury and i REALLY appreciate that! He's always checking in throughout the workouts to make sure I'm not feeling pain or dizziness - something that at 42 years old I value. The facility is extremely clean, and equipment is well kept. They keep their training sessions personal, so you are not working out with a room full of other members. 5 stars on hygiene alone! I really can't say enough about the place. Highly recommended Ryder Fitness Personal Training Studios for your personal fitness goals."

Attorney Mary D.- "I’ve been working out with Dr. Johnny Ryder for over two years now. I needed the support of knowing someone is showing up too for incentive and self-discipline. I know I’d never do it on my own. Dr. Ryder is kind and encouraging. Personal trainers don’t need to yell at anyone. It’s been a great experience for me and I’m stronger and healthier than ever."

Judy S.- "I've been training with Dr. Johnny Ryder and Ryder Fitness since February 2022. Love it. He's recently added square footage and equipment to the studio providing an even more challenging environment. Dr. Johnny is encouraging and professional and the studio is so very clean. If you're looking for a place to train, look no further than Ryder Fitness Personal Training Studios."

Vesta M.- "Only three months at Ryder Fitness and I've lost weight and gained strength and stamina. Dr. Johnny Ryder is a great trainer - professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He challenges without pushing and wants everyone to be their best self! The studio is private, so you don't have to work out with an audience. So Greatful to be his client!"

Pam C.- "Have been working out with Dr. Johnny Ryder and my sister for about 5 weeks now. Was pretty cynical about getting in better shape at my age (60). While this is not a quick fix I am seeing progress. I am stronger and look forward to my workouts! Love how Dr. Johnny mixes up our exercises... If you find yourself in an exercise slump and nothing is working. Ryder fitness will definitely get your metabolism fired up again. Highly recommend it!" 

Hailey S.- "I have been going to Ryder Fitness for 4 months now. Dr. Johnny works with you and fits a plan to what you can do, around injuries you may have etc. It is a great setting, and there are no concerns about others in the gym judging you. It is one on one, and you only compete against yourself every time you walk in. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to get back into the gym." 

Patty R.- "If you need motivation, this is the place to go. Ryder Fitness is a private gym/studio, and by appointment only. I have been coming here for a little over a month now and can already see and feel the difference. I cannot wait for my healthy transformation in 2024."

Amy K. (NPC Bikini Champion)- "I've been a client of Ryder Fitness for a number of years now. There is a lot of equipment, so my work out never gets boring plus the staff always seems to be happy to see me. To top it off, I won two silver medals in two separate National Physique Committee Bikini Shows at the age of 47! Thank you Dr. Ryder!!!"

Attorney Rex J.- "At my age (83) I wanted to stay in shape but not “break” anything. So, I searched for a personal trainer who was very knowledgeable, meaning he has a lot of experience in the field including the educational prerequisites as well.
