Ryan McIvor

BS Exercise Science (Colorado Mesa Univ.)

Certified Personal Trainer

Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist

CPR & AED Certified

I opened Upward Fitness Studio to provide a space where clients can be comfortable working on their fitness no matter their starting point. Coming from a history of overeating and lack of health, I found fitness when I needed it most. It became my passion, and now I am so happy to share that passion with others. With over a decade of experience in the fitness industry, I am dedicated in helping people find their health, wellness, and strength, all while making their exercise routines fun and engaging. I want to make a positive impact on every person's life, and I can't wait to help you reach your goals!

BS Health and Exercise Science (Colorado State Univ.)

I became a personal trainer for many reasons. The 'kid' me (who had never done sports and couldn’t run a mile without being out of breath), would have needed a role model in health and exercise. The 'teenager' me (who developed binge eating disorder), would have needed a guiding hand in how to fuel my body and enjoy doing so. The 'young adult' me (who learned how to workout from ‘gym bros’), would have needed a certified individual to teach me the right way to do things. In summary: I want to be the mentor that I wish I had when I started on my fitness journey.

My focus is to bring clients the strategies that are backed by science and evidence-based research – together we will build healthy habits that are not only sustainable, but enjoyable. Fitness doesn’t have to be complicated, and the milestones you reach will be gratifying.

Let me show you how.

Keagon Pitton

Certified Personal Trainer

CPR/AED/First Aid Certified

As a former college athlete I have a strong understanding of the effort and time needed to excel in both sports as well as general fitness. When I was growing up I would have appreciated having someone to push me in the weight room while also being supportive throughout my journey. I want to be the person that anyone can come to and learn how to strive for greatness.

With my experience I want to combine athletic performance as well as general fitness to help anyone and everyone achieve their fitness goals; whether you are looking to improve performance or just looking to live a healthier lifestyle. I am looking forward to creating programs that fit you individually to reach your overall goals. No matter where you are in fitness I am dedicated to unlocking your potential of being the best you!

"Ryan has been amazing trainer for Troy and myself. We both have either knee /hip replacements or spine fusion. He makes the workouts challenging and also fun. He will be always make sure you are doing the exercises correctly and safely. The gym is clean and has all of the new equipment. I would highly recommend him for any of your needs whether it’s nutrition, or just getting your body back in shape!!!"
