LOSE WEIGHT & INCHES, TIGHTEN UP! LOOK AND FEEL BETTER!
The most rewarding part about being a personal trainer is seeing the results of my clients.
Take a look at some of the ways their lives have been improved.
"I am Michelle Merica, a 16-year-old girl. I have been fortunate enough to have been training with Ryan Crandall for about two years. When Ryan and I first met, I was 5'7 and 98 lbs. I had no muscle definition and constantly tired and weak. After about only two sessions with Ryan, I noticed a difference in not only my stamina, but also the way I moved. My movement became swifter, more graceful, and more confident.
Ryan never pushed me too far, I had the choice of how far I could train. Yet, at the same time, Ryan constantly kept me motivated for a goal, to better myself and my health. He kept me motivated with kind words and encouragement. Not only was I motivated for a more healthy lifestyle, I was inspired by his personality and warmth. Ryan taught me how to train the proper way, not the easy way. He is incredibly dedicated because he plans a different work-out program for each of his clients to fit their preferences and what will also help them achieve the results they desire. Ryan will take the time to meet his clients on a personal level.
I consider myself to be so lucky that Ryan was my first trainer and will forever be my only trainer. I now can incorporate everything Ryan taught me in my sports at school. As a volleyball player, Ryan continues to improve my jump and quickens my reaction time. Ryan knows what his clients want, and he does everything in his power to help his clients get what they want. After two years with Ryan, I am stronger and excel in volleyball. My body has also changed. I no longer have to rest every few hours due to exhaustion.
Ryan has helped me in more ways than just training me in sports. When I first began my training with Ryan I did not look healthy and was self-conscious about my frail frame. Ryan helped me feel beautiful and healthy. He encouraged me to play harder in sports, something I may not have done if Ryan had not inspired me. He finds the beauty in all people and is accepting of everyone. I have benefited from Ryan by becoming a healthier and more confident person, but I also have become a better person just by his inspiration and outlook on life. He is a blessing in my life. " Michelle M.
"I have been working with Ryan for over nearly two years, and since then have lost more than 80 pounds of body fat and gained at least 20 pounds of muscle. Ryan is one of the gentlest, most upbeat trainers I've ever worked with--it's really his personality that's so appealing. Ryan never sells out, but truly understands his clients in such a way that he can be as firm as he is compassionate. More than just a trainer, he's truly become a member of the family. And best of all, I continue to increase my fitness levels. I recommend him without hesitation." Adam F.
"I have trained with Ryan for 10 weeks. I had a badly twisted colon and a poor blood profile. Ryan put me on a effective workout program. My colon and blood tests are almost back to normal. Ryan is a professional and a great motivator." Sandy A.
"4 months ago, I realized I was too big. The scale read 290 pounds, so I hired Ryan for help. Right away, I lost weight (70# in just over four months and 10 inches off my waist). This has been a great decision for me to train with Ryan, and I'll never forget it." Jeff C.
"Ryan has a talent for creating a program that keeps you going without discouraging you. The results come slowly, but steadily and they stick. My self image has been through such a positive change after working with him. I highly recommend Ryan for anyone who has ever given up on a exercise program. He can make it work." Rob W.
"My personal training sessions with Ryan have been exceptional. He is a good motivator and he keeps you focused on your fitness goals." Nick M.
"I was 60 years old, badly overweight and terribly out of shape when I started working with Ryan. My lack of conditioning was having a major impact on my life-style. After working with Ryan for several months, just twice a week for 30 minutes, I have lost fourteen pounds, knocked two inches off my waistline, and improved my aerobic conditioning to the point where I can tackle everyday tasks without feeling I am ready to collapse. Deciding to work with Ryan was the best decision I've made for my health in years. " Richard F.
"I wanted to let you know that whatever we did in our training sessions, it worked! For the first time in a year, I could put my shoes on without help. I could even reach my zippers. Thanks for helping me gain my freedom back!" Tiffani C.
"I have trained with Ryan for nearly a year and have experienced great weight loss and tremendous toning everywhere on my body. Ryan is extremely well read and puts great thought into his programs. He is knowledgeable in fitness, anatomy, nutrition and a very talented motivator. I am satisfied beyond my original expectations and look forward to continuing a long term relationship with Ryan." Pat K.
"I would highly recommend Ryan as a personal trainer. He is very knowledgeable about what it takes to get fit and fashioned a workout program based on my abilities and goals. Ryan is always available to answer all my questions and encourages me every step of the way. The results have been fantastic. I've lost and continue to lose weight and I'm on my way to getting fit." Sheryl B.
"Ryan, your fitness program for me is simple and effective. My goal was to lose some fat and gain some muscle, and right away the changes started happening. Your emphasis on core strength was new to me and helped shape my waist like I have never been able to do on my own. The simple equipment that you brought to my house increased my strength and endurance more than the 100's of dollars I spend on so-called fitness equipment. You are extremely knowledgeable and motivating, and this is exactly what I was looking for in a trainer. Your pricing is fair, and my results with you far outweighed any monetary value. I highly recommend you and thank you!" Matt H.
"My personal training sessions with Ryan have been exceptional. He is a good motivator and he keeps you focused on your fitness goals." Rob W.
Ryan the most valuable lesson you taught me was proper breathing during exercise. Many of the exercises I have done before, but never did I feel my muscles as I do when I breathe as you taught me. I've learnt that proper breathing intensifies the workout 10 times. Since I can feel my muscles I am more aware of my posture and forever correcting myself. That's a good thing!! Thank You Ryan, Kathy B.
Wow. Where does one begin. Before meeting Ryan, I was afraid to train. Sure, when I was younger I liked to work out, but then I had some major injuries and surgeries that caused me to rapidly decondition mentally and physically. I'll be honest, I was very apprehensive at first to hire Ryan. My doctor told me to not move my head and not to exercise for for 12 months after the surgery. My whole body was stiff and tight and I gained weight. We started very slow, and Ryan was always on top of my restrictions and pain thresholds. Over time I was able to do more and more. Heck, I never thought I would be able to lunge, squat, or even do a push up. I'm so proud of myself and my accomplishments. Ryan is encouraging, friendly, prompt, and certainly has a encyclopedia of knowledge in his brain and the way he trains. How else could I be more active than before with less pain? Thank you Ryan for your sincere efforts and patience. J.C.
"I've been working with Ryan for about a year now. He is personable and highly encouraging. Every time I want to quit he motivates me to continue on with my goals. There would be now way that I would have lost 45# since we've started without Ryan." Kristana B.
"I've been training with Ryan for 3 months now and I can only say good things about him. He works with you in a very professional manner and yet he has the ability to make it fun and challenging at the same time. I enjoy working with Ryan every single session. I think the key to sticking with a routine and getting fast results is to have a wonderful trainer like Ryan that makes it enjoyable! His great way of using an analogy to explain certain things makes it easier for one to understand his thought process. I think his personality is a big plus. He's a very likeable person. He's genuine. His is caring and thoughtful. He motivates you and makes you actually WANT to exercise so you can look and feel better about yourself. Ryan is a wonderful person to be around. To be able to enjoy the time you have with your trainer makes it so much more fun rather than thinking of it as another chore to accomplish. I strongly recommend Ryan as your personal trainer. He will definitely change the way you look and feel about yourself in a positive way!" J.F.
"Ryan has a great way of pushing you past any limitations with feeling like you're being punished. He was able to strengthen my body-but also my attitude and self esteem. There's nobody like Ryan Crandall (Desert Valley Personal Training". Diane C.
"I just wanted to say thank you. I know that I don't say it enough. You have truly changed my life in so many ways. Everything from how I breathe to my sex life and everything in between. I can see huge differences in myself and the overall quality of my life. I never knew change could be this fun. I think that you are amazing. You are like a scientist, doctor, and artist rolled into one. It still amazes me that you can 'sculpt' a person like you do. So thank you, thank you, thank you." Jackie D.
"I wanted a great personal trainer that could come to my home thereby giving me no excuse for not making it to the gym. I imagined that in my own home I could whine out loud and not have to worry about what I was wearing or if I had make-up on. All that became a reality when I was lucky enough to find Ryan. He took me through the basics and then added to and varied my workouts as I became stronger. I am never bored. Ryan has made me aware of proper form and working out in a safe manner. A session with him is a healthy stress reducer and it also makes me feed good about myself and the progress I have made. Ultimately, this is something that I do for me that adds value to my life." Heidi H.
"I'm writing to you because I'm so pleased with how my progress is going. I'm going through some pretty rough times right now and sometimes I feel that this stress will kill me. While I haven't been able to keep to a steady diet or able to work out as much as I'd like. I've managed to lose 13 pounds in 5 months. My husband was concerned about me being overweight and the enormous amount of stress on me that I might have a stroke, or worse, a heart attack. Being 45 years old, I thought I was doomed to diets that don't work or by-pass and lipo-suction. My clothes fit better and I feel a lot better about myself. Your kindness, concern, and humor have made working out a whole lot easier. Thank you for what you have been able to do and now I'm confident that I will reach my goal." Laura M.
"I am a 53 year old woman that decided about 10 years ago to restart an exercise and fitness program that had lain dormant for about 15 years. I had made the common mistake of putting my family and my work before my own health, and as a result, transformed from being fit, toned and in-shape to being fifteen pounds overweight and quite flabby. In the past decade, I have worked with a number of different trainers in all parts of the country, but it was not until I met Ryan Crandall that I truly knew I had my own Personal Trainer. All of the others seemed to take a cookie-cutter approach, treating all of their clients exactly the same, and doing the typical exercise programs that one could follow on their own in any gym in the world.
Ryan is completely different. It is difficult for me, after my experiences, to even place Ryan in the same profession as other Personal Trainers. He is beyond unique, beyond personable, and beyond effective. He truly gets to know the person he is dealing with inside and out. He understands the person's mind, body, strengths and weaknesses. He has multiple college degrees, and he brings his in-depth knowledge of the body into his specialized programs for each of his clients. Ryan has an innate ability to motivate and encourage his clients in a very quiet and genuine manner, without being the typical "salesman" that comes along with many personal trainers. He is one of the most authentic, real, honest, ethical, kind and big-hearted people I have ever met.
I have now been working with Ryan for the past three years, and I cannot imagine ever working with another Personal Trainer again. No one can compare to Ryan Crandall. I recommend him to anyone and everyone. There is not a person in this world that would not benefit from working with Ryan. He will not only make you a more fit, healthy, secure person, but he will truly make your world a better place. He certainly has done that for me and my entire family. He has worked with my 19 year old step-son, my 16 year old daughter, my 14 year old step-son, and my 13 year old daughter for the past couple of years... and all of them think Ryan is truly the best person they know. They could never imagine our life without Ryan Crandall. We are blessed to have him in our world." Diane D.
"To workout these days is difficult, whether you are busy with school, like me, or just too busy. Training all ages, Ryan Crandall has helped many people in his physical therapy and knowledge about athletic training. He has helped me in areas of agility and overall strength. If you want to be physically fit for a sport or to be secure with yourself. Ryan Crandall is convenient and will come to your house. As his motto is 'Lose weight and Quit the Gym' he really means it." Ryan W.
"On 12/28/06, I had a partial hysterectomy after being very ill for 8 months. I was at my highest weight ever and was basically miserable. After being medically released, I sought out a personal trainer to get me started on a healthy exercise routine. In February 2007, one week before my 43rd birthday, I started training with Ryan. We train twice a week for 1 hour sessions and after my first session, I was pretty convinced it would take me forever to lose weight much less gain any strength. I fell on my face with one push-up and couldn't even keep my balance doing one lunge. Four months later, I have lost weight, have 100% more energy and strength, can do several push-ups and can do at least 2 sets of lunges (forward and sideways)! Ryan has used his gentle, persuasive, professional knowledge to keep me motivated and looking forward to each workout. He has designed a training program that I am able to work with every day with significant results. My experience with Ryan has been life-changing and has uplifted my spirit to achieve greater results with my physical well being." Name Withheld.
"I feel privileged to work with Ryan as a colleague. There are few trainers in Las Vegas who can match his level of commitment toward his client's greatest good, continued health and repeat business.
As a fitness professional myself, I often reference his experience with diverse populations - everyone from teenagers to seniors - to improve upon my own skills and also to keep me on my toes.
In an ever changing fitness environment, it is essential that your trainer work within his area of expertise to make the most of your time and your session. Ryan's background as a former PTA (Physical Therapist Assistant) blends well with his ongoing research into the art of personal training beyond textbook - as practice. He works to provide not only the best personal training has to offer at present but also for your future. Expect no fad diets or other gimmicks in his program.
Give him the opportunity to train you at home and you will get more done for ‘exercise' than your body has ever imagined. " Fatima Valeras, Personal Trainer
