Ryan Savard
I’ve been around athletics and competition my entire life, all the way up through college. With that being said, I’ve also been experienced burnout, bad training methods, and especially injuries… lots of injuries. I was looking for something new and different. Something that would steer me clear of overuse injuries while making me leaner, stronger, and faster. Something that would challenge me both mentally and physically as well as fill that void of competition.
I found CrossFit in 2008 when a friend in college who was training for the Navy SEALs got me to join him in a workout with the name “Barbara”. After about 50 minutes I came away with what felt like a hangover, ripped hands, and a sense of humbleness that I had never felt before. After joining a box in Austin, TX I felt what it was like to be a part of a CrossFit community. I received my masters degree in movement science with a specialization in biomechanics and neuromuscular physiology from the University of Texas in Austin. I currently am CrossFit Level 1 and CrossFit Olympic Lifting certified. In doing CrossFit and being around the community that it presents, I have found that I have a passion for coaching and helping others reach their goals through functional nutrition and fitness.
I believe that good dieting and a constantly varied and functional fitness are foundations of health and happiness. The greatest wealth is health.
