Ryan Hurst is one of the founders of Gold Medal Bodies, a fitness company dedicated to helping people get stronger and move better for their daily lives. He practiced for ten years as a competitive gymnast, and holds black belts in Kendo, Judo, and Shorinji Kempo.

Ryan has devoted his life to coaching others in strength and movement, but always lets his philosophy of “training for a healthy life” lead the way. He is a father to two young children, and the most important thing to him is to be able to play with them without pain or fear of injury.

One of Ryan’s most recent accomplishments was nailing the one-arm handstand with just fourteen weeks of practice.
