My name is Ryan Vogel.

I’m 29 years old and I have been passionate about health and fitness for as long as I can remember. As a young boy I played football for many years and my father got me a personal trainer for strength and conditioning. I learned so many things from him, and as a young man I was fit, healthy, and strong.

At 20 years old, my world turned upside down. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis as well as two vision impairing conditions: Optic Neuritis and Keratoconus. The vision in my right eye is dismal and too far gone to be corrected in any way. The vision in my left eye is also terrible, but thankfully I’m able to wear a corrective lens.

As devastating as that news was, I continued to push myself to be as strong and healthy as I can be. I obtained my ISSA personal training certification because I want to help inspire other people to be as strong and as healthy as they can be.

Anyone, no matter your difficulties, can do this. All you need is dedication and determination and I will give you the tips and tools that you need to help you achieve your goals. Together we can accomplish anything.
