"The BEST Strong First đź’Ş kettlebell instructor in South Central Pennsylvania! I'm a 48 year old rookie to fitness and intimidated by gyms. Ryan is a great teacher, motivator and mentor and everything you want in a coach. I am learning so much and getting results. If you want to get strong no matter your age, body type or skill level, get your butt off the co..." Read more

"I have tried multiple types of exercise including zumba, small workout classes, cardio, etc, but nothing has made me sweat and feel as great as the training classes with Ryan and Amber. They are extremely knowledgable and don't only care about promoting the healthy way to do things, but the correct way to do things. Technique is half the battle and they have..." Read more

"I started training with Ryan a little over a year ago and it was the best decision that I made for my athletic career. Ryan had helped me to increase not only my strength but also my power. Not knowing how to train for power before meeting Ryan I was unaware the importance that it had. As we began to increase my power I began to dominate on the baseball fiel..." Read more

"I’m so glad I joined Method Strength and Performance. I’ve been trying to reclaim my strength and overall fitness level for several years but could never get any traction. I lacked accountability, motivation, and a solid plan. I didn’t have the time to do all the research and put together a program to accomplish my goals. Now, I look forward to group trainin..."

"I have had a great experience at Method Strength & Performance. As a teacher, wife, mom and triathlete my schedule is full, but my triathlon training was missing an important component. At the suggestion of a friend I started going to Team Training and have learned a lot about proper technique and form. I am not a "class" taker at the gym, but the small grou..." Read more

"I first met Ryan when I decided to train for my Strong First level one kettle bell certification. I knew very little about kettle bells at the time and I knew I needed a good coach. The certification is very demanding. In addition to performing six moves with precision, I needed to snatch a 12 kg kettle bell 100 times in less than five minutes. I couldn’t ha..." Read more

"I just finished my 30 day trial at Method Strength & Performance. I have to say Ryan and Amber both are amazing trainers. This is just what I needed to get myself back in shape. Although it's a group session, they are able to give each person individualized attention while maintaining the class. Their technique and approach to fitness is by far nothing le..." Read more

"Ryan is an awesome trainer who really takes time to get to know people and their needs - and he really knows how to make a great work out for strength and endurance. After moving from San Diego where I was doing kettle bells with some of the country's top peeps, I was glad to find Ryan. He really elevates the quality of what York has to offer. His work outs..."

I love the small group format, as it provides an extra boost of motivation and fun while still catering to my individual fitness needs.

"Love small group personal training at Method Strength & Performance. Ryan's workouts are fantastically tough and effective yet do-able. He's the best trainer around, without a doubt. You get personal attention/correction when necessary and you can feel confident you are getting the proper advice on how to improve yourself and your workout. Highly recommend!"
