About Coach

Ryan Stevenson has been a member of Anchored Athletics since the gym first opened in November 2014 and has been coaching since 2018. As one of Anchored’s long-standing members, he brings years of experience and a deep connection to the community. Ryan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Kinetics, his CrossFit Level 2, and the NCCP Weightlifting certification. He previously held the CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) through the NSCA. He enjoys coaching athletes of all levels and is especially passionate about helping people train consistently, move well, and continue progressing over the long term. Ryan found CrossFit while struggling to maintain his fitness after entering a stressful career and raising a young family. He was drawn to the structure, encouragement, and steady pursuit of improvement built on consistent standards. He also appreciated the element of competition within a positive, inclusive environment alongside like-minded people — and quickly knew he had found the right fit. Outside of the gym, Ryan stays active playing ice hockey, golf, and mountain biking. In the summer, he enjoys camping, hiking, and water sports. He’s also kept busy by his twin teenage boys and spends plenty of time coaching their hockey team. His favourite CrossFit movements are handstand push-ups (where his short T-Rex arms come in handy) and back squats. His coffee order is either a vanilla latte or a homemade espresso blended with a chocolate protein shake. Ryan brings experience, consistency, and a calm, knowledgeable presence to every class — helping athletes build strength, confidence, and lifelong fitness.
