RYAN SHEAFFER
I have turned my lifelong passion of sports, health and wellness into a career as a trainer.
Upon receiving my degree in marketing from the University of Portland, I thought that sports marketing would be my chosen path. While working for the United States Tennis Association, I realized the one thing missing was my love of coaching and teaching others.
Over the years I have coached youth basketball and football teams, and have taught tennis to people of all ages and abilities.
For the past few years, I have worked as a certified personal trainer and outdoor fitness coach for a leading company in Seattle. My belief in the positive aspects of exercising outdoors led me to launch my own company, Outdoor Fitness Company.
Some of my own athletic and fitness accomplishments include competing as a Division I collegiate tennis player, completing multiple marathons, reaching the summit of Mt. Rainier three times and participating in a variety of endurance competitions. My upcoming goals are to summit Mt. Rainier for a fourth time, participate in the Vancouver Marathon and compete in the Ironman Canada Triathlon.
I believe in an individualized and holistic approach to training others. I see the potential in everyone and strive to help others see that same potential within themselves. My goal is to help people build a healthy and strong body, mind and soul.
In my spare time, I love to read, travel, spend time with friends and family, and am doing my best to develop a green thumb!
