Specialty Athletic Training - Bend

Fantastic experience: Ryan is an exemplary individual who is highly communicative, professional, and provides top-notch quality. His dedication to assisting those with special needs is unparalleled and I highly recommend his services.

Fantastic experience: Specialty Athletics has had such a positive affect for our adult son. He has wanted a workout coach for a long time and that is hard to find in our small community for a "special " person. Doing the workouts online has been very effective because he feels like he IS a part of the group and he likes that . The coaches have been very responsive to all the participants in his classes even though they are at all different levels of strength and communications. Also, the whole Staff/team of support folks have been very responsive to anything I bring to them that would help our son. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPECIALTY ATHLETIC TRAINING!

Fantastic experience: Having Coach Ryan as a part of our child's life has been a huge benefit! We have observed an increase in their self-esteem, self-awareness, and a newfound eagerness to try new things and be active. Before Coach Ryan, our child was very reluctant to leave the house or do any physical activity. We are so grateful that Coach Ryan is available in Bend. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Our family is immensely proud to be a part of Specialty Athletic Training. My son, Logan, has been a part of this program for the past few years and it has been an incredible experience. Logan has Cerebral Palsy and cognitive delays, so he is not a fan of physical activity and has difficulty with social interaction. However, Coach Ryan has been incredibly patient and welcoming, creating an environment that Logan loves to be a part of. Ryan is great at understanding Logan's physical limitations and how to work within them while still pushing him to try new things. Specialty Athletic Training is more than just physical fitness; it offers Logan a safe place to develop social skills while being physically active. We highly recommend this program to any family with a child with disabilities.

Fantastic experience: Ryan's enthusiasm for physical activity and sports is evident in the fun and engaging atmosphere he creates during each workout. His communication skills, professionalism, and dedication to quality make him the perfect coach for kids.

Fantastic experience: We are incredibly grateful for Specialty Athletic Training and Ryan for helping my son, who has Down syndrome, learn how to work out safely. His liver enzyme levels have already improved due to the sessions. His younger sister has also been able to join in to motivate him. Even during the pandemic, Specialty Athletic Training was able to transition to online training, which has kept Jacob on the path to better health. We are truly blessed to have found them and thank Ryan for all his hard work! Kirsten Rodin

Fantastic experience: Specialty Athletic Training at Boss Fitness is a special place, and Ryan is a special talent. He possesses a natural style of genuinely connecting with youth, demonstrating his belief in their ability to strive and improve, and his passion for inspiring them to get stronger and reach higher is inspiring to watch. He has done amazing things for our ADHD son, who loves his workout time with Ryan! I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough.

Fantastic experience: My niece has a an IDD. She has been working with Ryan for about 4 months. She has lost weight and enjoys working out and looks forward to her workouts. Ryan is a great motivator and keeps her work outs fun. I highly recommend this trainer and his program.

Fantastic experience: My son, Jack, has been working out with Ryan Lockard, Specialty Athletic Training, for two years. Ryan pushes Jack to work hard, while also having fun. It’s obvious that Ryan genuinely cares about Jack. He’s a friend and mentor, often showing support at Jack’s wheelchair basketball games, rivaling Jack in video games (outside of training sessions), helping Jack to set and work toward goals, and being a great role model. We are incredibly thankful for the our relationship with Ryan and Specialty Athletic Training.

Fantastic experience: The Specialty Athletic Team are amazing at what they do! Their workouts are tailored for every specific person and their goals. Highly recommended. Can't say enough good things about them!!

Fantastic experience: Ryan is a great coach and pours out so much energy and passion into each training session! These kids genuinely learn and grow so much from each training.

Thank you Ryan and Specialty Athletics!!

Fantastic experience: Ryan is as good as it gets when it comes to human beings!! The world needs more people like Ryan!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Ryan is great to work with, returns communication quickly, and is an intuitive trainer with lots of positivity. His enthusiasm and passion for this work is evident in every session. My child was not enthused about fitness and now he enjoys exercise and seeing Ryan to work on his goals.
