Being a 270lb fullback in the NFL, Ryan helped develop my strength and explosive power. After I injured my shoulder, he played a vital role in my rehabilitative process. His knowledge of on-field technique and explosive training is second to none. I would recommend any athlete trying to take their game to the next level to train with Ryan.

James Hodgins - NFL Veteran

Working with Ryan the past three years has allowed me to stay at the top of my game physically. In the NFL it is paramount to be physically able to achieve anything asked by your coaches. Working with Ryan on speed and agility as a quarterback has helped me to perform at a high level. The weight training has also allowed me to remain durable in this environment where health is always an issue. All in all Ryan is one of the reasons I¹ve been able to physically perform well over the last 3 years. Thanks Ryan!

Josh McCown - NFL Veteran

Ryan Capretta was instrumental in my development not only as a wide receiver in the NFL; but also helping me become an elite athlete. It was great working with Ryan because of his great attitude and vast knowledge of professional training. When Ryan started working for the Cardinals, it was a very simple and boring program. I am thankful he joined the staff because he would incorporate innovative training methods that challenged us and made us better. I am considered to be one of the fastest people in the NFL and Ryan helped with training techniques that I still use, so, if you are ready or looking to go to another level in your profession (no matter what the sport) look no further because I believe Ryan Capretta is your answer.

Ryan Capretta is a man I am glad to say has helped me in my efforts to become a better competitor at the professional level. His extensive academic knowledge in the field allows for greater individual understanding in training. Also, the wide range of his experiences in football will make it possible for Ryan to adjust to the desires of those athletes whom he works with on a more personal level. In my time working with him, I absolutely feel that he aided in my physical development. I am very excited to see him able to work with athletes on a more personalized level for I know he will only excel.

Being an older player in the NFL, I have used your knowledge over the past several years to come up with a program that is specifically targeted to meet the demands of an NFL punter. At 36, I feel that with your help and endless knowledge I am in the best shape of my life and actually becoming stronger now than when I was in my 20¹s. The program that you have helped me with in my opinion has kept me in the league and injury free. I now feel that I can play into my 40¹s. Thanks again for all your help.

Scott Player Pro Bowler - NFL Veteran

Professional and passionate are two words that best describe Ryan. If you want to play at the next level, then you need to train with some one who¹s been there. Ryan understands what it takes to get there and to stay there! My runningbacks were trained by Ryan and they were always the most explosive group on the field. If you want results choose Proactive. You will get bigger, faster, and stronger.

Kirby Wilson Veteran NFL Coach

Ryan is a progressive thinking trainer that can help any athlete exceed his/her goals while also forming a strong relationship of trust with that athlete. After spending two years in the NFL and one in NFL Europe, I can honestly say that Ryan is one of the most dedicated, informed strength coaches I have ever worked with. With Ryan¹s help I was able to go from the practice swuad with the Kansas City Chiefs to starting 4 preseason games with the Arizona Cardinals, Ryan has my vote of trust and excellence as my NFL resume continues to grow.

Aaron Golliday - NFL veteran

When I tore my ACL for the second time in three years I knew that I had a long, hard road of work and rehab ahead of me. I needed a trainer who was smart, who was committed to my success and who would work as hard as I do. Ryan capretta went above and beyond what any trainer has gone for me. With the help of his expertise in strength & conditioning I was able to make a full recovery from two devastating knee injuries and was able to elevate my play to a Pro Bowl level in 2005. Ryan knows what it takes to get to the top and can help any type of athlete reach their full potential.
