Meet Your Coach
Coaching Built on
Clinical Expertise.
Ryan Summitt, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, is a fitness coach, physical therapist, and strength
and conditioning specialist with nearly two decades of experience helping people move
better, get stronger, and stay active for life. His coaching career began in 2008 while
studying at DePauw University, where he worked as a personal trainer and developed a
passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals.
What sets Ryan apart is his unique combination of fitness coaching and clinical expertise.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), and
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), he understands both how to maximize
performance and how to navigate injuries safely. For the past 12 years, Ryan has focused on
helping active individuals bridge the gap between rehabilitation and fitness, guiding them
from injury recovery back to the activities they love with confidence.
Ryan believes that fitness should enhance every aspect of life, not just performance in the
gym. Whether working with athletes, busy professionals, or active adults, his approach
combines evidence-based training, movement optimization, and sustainable habits to help
clients build strength, resilience, and longevity.

races and a Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim crossing to HYROX competitions and improving
his golf game.
