Coach Ryan with Crucible Performance members in Frederick

You know you need to do something. But where do you even start?

Maybe you've joined a gym before. Maybe you started strong and life got in the way. Maybe you're worried about doing the wrong thing, getting hurt or feeling like you don't belong. You don't need to have it all figured out before you start. That's what coaching is for.

How the Crucible coaching system works

01

Your Plan

Training built around your goals, experience, body and schedule. You never have to guess what to do.

02

Your Coach

A coach with you every session to teach, adjust, challenge and help you progress at the right pace.

03

Your People

Small semi-private sessions, never more than six people, where people know your name and want to see you win.

Crucible is a paid coaching program. Your in-person consultation is a conversation, not a workout and not a sales pitch, to see if we're the right fit.

Real people. Real change.

"When I started coming to Crucible I was feeling exhausted, my body hurt and I had a hard time getting up from sitting on the floor. I have lost weight and inches, gained muscle and confidence and can get up off the floor with ease."

Amy White

"This is the first time in my life I have ever enjoyed working out and I am seeing results already. Small, personalized, and Ryan is an awesome coach. Wish I had done this years ago."

Diana Bass

"Ryan has created a warm, energetic, and safe space for all ages to come workout."
