Ryan Nosak has lived a life that is anything but ordinary. He lost his mother to cancer when he was 5 years old. 15 months later, his uncle tragically died in a car accident. Death, loss, and despair plagued his family which led Ryan down a path of medicating with an overconsumption of food and a sedentary lifestyle. He struggled with depression and confidence as he became known as the fat kid in school.
It would all change when he stepped foot into a gym for the first time at 13 years old and caught the so called "iron bug". What transpired led Ryan to pursue a career in fitness. He coached his high school friends through strength training sessions and realized he had a knack for teaching and inspiring others. He transformed himself from the fat kid to being known as the strongest kid in his school. He recognizes strength training as the tool that saved his life. Ryan attended Penn State University for his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology, where he worked as a student coach for the Penn State Nittany Lions football team, as well as numerous other sports. This led him down the path of working as a Division 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach for 9 years with stops along the way at Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt, Robert Morris University, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, DePaul University. He has worked at Power 5 universities, aided in the training of multiple professional athletes, and has been mentored by NFL strength and conditioning coaches. Ryan stepped away from college athletics in 2020 to run RyNo Strength, which is an in-person and online training service. He helps ex-athletes lose weight and boost energy without giving up pizza, alcohol, or their social life. He resides in Chicago with his wife, dog, and daughter.
