WNBF Bikini Pro

I joined Ryan and Team SUF at the start of 2024 and it’s been an unbelievable year together.  What initially drew me to Team SUF was the unique presence of his athletes — they stood out as absolute POWERHOUSES. Strong, confident, and ready to dominate, they embodied everything I wanted to achieve. I knew Ryan’s no-nonsense approach and meticulous attention to detail would be the perfect fit for me. With his guidance and support, I was able to transform my body and showed tremendous growth over the last year while also earning my WNBF Bikini Pro card. 

One of the key aspects of my success has been Ryan’s organizational approach, particularly through the Aries app he developed. The app provides everything I need: macros, cardio plans, workout routines (with instructional videos for each lift), and direct communication with Ryan. It’s clear, straightforward, and keeps me on track daily. I love how all my progress — from check-ins to weigh-ins and progress photos — is documented in one place, making it easy to track my transformation. Ryan’s responsiveness to questions and check-ins is incredible, always addressing things promptly and making adjustments when needed. 

Another invaluable part of my journey was working with Shauna on my posing. She provided fantastic feedback and constant encouragement throughout the process. Having videos of myself sent back with detailed markups was such a game-changer. It allowed me to play them back repeatedly and continue refining my practice, which ultimately gave me the confidence to shine on stage. Beyond that, Shauna brought another dream to life — she created my stunning purple bikini suit, which was everything I had envisioned and more. Wearing that suit made me truly feel amazing! 

When it comes to peak week and show day protocols, Ryan’s expertise is unmatched. His meticulous attention to detail and personalized approach during this crucial time make all the difference. He creates customized protocols for each athlete and adjusts them as needed to ensure everything runs seamlessly. After every show, Ryan provided detailed feedback through the app, highlighting areas for improvement and next steps. Following my last show of the season, he had my recovery plan ready to go, offering invaluable continued support as I transitioned into the next phase.

From start to finish, Ryan and Team SUF are completely committed to helping each athlete achieve their individual goals, and the results speak for themselves. I can’t wait to continue working with him and building on the progress we’ve made together. We are just getting started coach!
