TEAM

Meet the Team

When it comes to fitness backgrounds, our coaches are probably more diverse than any other training center in Denver.  Kettlebells, Powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting , Cycling, Gymnastics, Climbing, Martial Arts, and more. We're all pretty pretty nerdy when it comes to fitness. Over the last decade, they've spent countless hours and probably way too much money on their fitness education. StrongFirst, CF, USAC  TRX, FMS, NASM, NSCA, USAW, & High Intensity Functional Fitness are just a few of the methodologies they've learned from over the years.

“I didn’t want to work at Pizza Hut and I didn’t want to join the Army. So I just decided to go out and be awesome.” – Henry Rollins

Amir never knew what he wanted to be when he grew up—he just knew he wanted it to be rad. That simple pursuit has directed most of his life. His dad started him skiing at five years old. He got a skateboard at eleven and an electric guitar at twelve. His first mountain bike at eighteen squared the circle of passions.

He was a competitive freeskier during the salad days of the U.S. Extremes. He lived through the evolution of fat skis and twin tips, and saw the backcountry explode with the invention of the BCA Trekker.

Amir has also been riding, racing, and wrenching on mountain bikes since the early nineties. He has raced the Leadville 100 a few times and lined up at his share of XCO and CX races. Suspension forks on road bikes? Not new. Tubeless tire plugs? Ever heard of a rubber band?

Teaching architecture and design at the University of Colorado for thirteen years helped him develop a keen appreciation for the simple and effective—across all scales of products. He brings this sense for simplicity and directness to his training and coaching. He prides himself on being able to break down complex movements into accessible and scalable techniques.

Amir is a firm believer that hefty doses of Van Halen and barbells can prepare you for nearly anything.

Growing up, Ryan spent most of his early days climbing trees and exploring the local forests and creeks of Southeast Missouri.  Although Tom Sauk Mountain (the highest point in Missouri at 1,772ft) is a fun hike, he dreamed of heading west to get the real mountain experience.

After four years of active duty in the US Navy as an Aviation Electronics Technician, he realized that although electronics are neat, they were far from fulfilling. He decided to pursue a degree at Southeast Missouri State University in Health Management & Exercise Science.  

After graduating, he headed west for adventure, settling in Denver, Colorado in 2009. That same year he began personal training at one of those "big box gyms" and continued there for 4 more years. Although changing lives one at a time at a time is great, he felt he could make a larger impact in a slightly different environment...

Combining ancestral health principles and the latest research on exercise science, he developed a set of "Prymal Guidelines" for fitness and nutrition.  Using these guidelines, he helps individuals unlock their full genetic potential to unleash "Axistence" (a life of Active Existence).  He continues to educate himself in the ever-changing fitness industry.

​Not only does  he love attending fitness seminars, reading research papers and listening to the latest health & wellness pod-casts (yeah, he's kind of a nerd) he's also extremely passionate about personal development in the realm of transformation. Call him woo woo, but he believes that we can live in a world that we design (He also loves The Greatest Showman).
