If you want a trainer who pushes you without making you hate the gym, Ryan’s your guy. He’s the perfect mix of tough love and good vibes. He’ll challenge you, cheer you on, and maybe make you question your life choices mid workout but you’ll thank him after. Super knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely cares about your progress. I started as a total beginner and now feel stronger and more confident than ever. I actually look forward to training now. Most days.

Ryan really focuses on proper form, safety, and steady, consistent progress—no ego lifting, no pressure, just real support and encouragement. Every session makes me feel stronger and more confident, both physically and mentally. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been, and at the lowest weight since my high school days. It’s honestly the most positive, and fun gym experience I’ve ever had and the results speak for themselves!

Before I started training with Ryan at Safe Strength, my lower back and shoulders were in awful pain from old injuries. I could barely go to the gym without making it worse, and honestly, I had almost given up after working with several trainers who didn’t know how to adjust for my injuries.

Ryan completely changed that. He knew exactly how to build workouts that worked around my issues, and over time he’s actually strengthened my back and shoulders in ways I didn’t think were possible. On top of that, he helped me put together a diet plan for weight management and I’ve lost nearly 40 pounds in 11 months.

He’s hands down the best trainer in Columbus. Super knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping his clients feel and perform their best.

Im 35 and I’ve never been a gym person. I’ve tried training in the past but gave up when I couldn’t get over the initial “starting period” and because I assumed my physical job would carry me. (It didn’t). I started training with Ryan in February and it’s been life changing. There have been times I wanted to quit (he wouldn’t let me) and times I’ve had to take a break or had weird scheduling issues (he was patient and rearranged his schedule etc). My back issues have improved, my mental health has improved, I feel stronger than I did in my 20s. If you want someone who will work with you, care about you not just as a client but as a friend, and take the time to focus on the details even the small ones, go see Ryan. 🫡

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Ryan Mayo and Safe Strength for over 5 years. Even though I did CrossFit for over a dozen years, he increased my deadlift PR by over 20 pounds and I was in my 60s! He’s a personal trainer with the perfect mix of careful form and enthusiastic encouragement. Most importantly, he reminded me of the power I have to do most anything I put my mind and body to. I highly recommend Ryan and Safe Strength!! Columbus is lucky to have him! (I'm in the purple top below)

Amazing trainer and incredibly knowledgeable. I have worked with Ryan for almost a year now and the transformation has been amazing. This is not just personal training, this is healthy, functional training to lead a better life and a program that sets you up to learn and grow on your fitness journey. No matter if it’s diet, overall health improvement, or just trying to build muscle, Ryan has a program for everyone. The time and dedication he puts into each client is miles above any trainer I have had in the past.
