My name is Ryan Huber and I am new to the Pit family as of this year. I was an intern here during my last semester of undergrad, then after the completion of my internship I came on as a part-time strength coach. Adding to my Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science, I am currently continuing my education at Illinois State University by getting my master’s degree in Exercise Physiology. I believe I offer a different approach to coaching because of the experiences I have had through many surgeries and multiple months of physical therapy. That is why I pride myself in injury prevention and take more of a technical style of coaching toward our Pit members. While offering many tools and techniques to help our members attain their health goals, my approach is to also encourage our members to improve their mobility, stability, and functional movement patterns. I offer a different mindset that adds to a great coaching staff and Pit family.

I am currently a student at ISU. Since a young age, I have dedicated my life to health and wellness. I believe in pushing others in an autonomy supportive way that is centered around their goals. I incorporate a lot of functional movements that utilize flow principles to help the client understand their bodies better. It’s my mission to help individuals realize that exercise goes much deeper than gaining muscle, pushing our minds and spirits to the edge of our comfort zone,it can in turn lead to a happier, more robust way of living.

Hello! My name is Tanner Johnson, I just graduated from ISU's Exercise Science Bachelor's program, and am almost completed with my NASM-CPT Personal Training Certification. I've been interning here at Four Seasons full-time, and am super excited to begin a part time position coaching classes in The PIT and acquiring personal training clients. I also look to complete my spin cycle certification, so hopefully you'll be seeing me around here a lot!

I've been involved in athletics & training my whole life, beginning my coaching career in high school as a volunteer with youth league football. I played football & lacrosse in high school and have been consistently training on my own ever since, experimenting with a variety of training methods. I use a very adaptive style of coaching, molding to how you as the client prefer to be coached. When training with me, your goals, priorities, & preferences will be the main focus of the session programming.

I believe exercise and physical activity to be the solution to many of the modern world's problems. Whether you're trying to combat the effects of a sedentary occupation or searching for a more positive outlook on yourself, I think taking steps to be physically active will put you on pace to do both of those and more. Whatever your fitness aspirations may be, I'm excited you chose to chase them at Four Seasons, and I hope to see you soon!
