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. While Dan & Ryan (the founders) met at a MovNat certification, over the last decade, they've spent countless hours and probably way too much money on their fitness education. StrongFirst, TRX, FMS, NASM, NSCA, USAW, & High Intensity Functional Fitness are just a few of the methodologies we've learned from over the years.

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). |

Dan has an extremely varied approach to fitness, and does not subscribe to the dogma of any one fitness system. He takes the best practices from each discipline, combining them together to develop programs that produce strong, flexible, and healthy individuals.
A graduate of Rutgers University and the US Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps, Dan spent a total of 10 years as a Security Forces Officer ultimately achieving the rank of Major. During this time, he realized what he liked most about the job was training Airmen in physical fitness and outdoor survival skills. In 2012, after his second overseas deployment, he decided it was time to take what he had learned and dedicate himself to training people in fitness, survival and outdoor readiness. Dan went on to create Axistence Athletics as an outlet to train people in the Denver, Colorado area. Dan doesn't normally speak in the third person, however, upon extensive research on internet etiquette, he realized that it seems to be the norm. |
