"When I first started training with Ryan, I had very little experience with lifting and how to train. After our first session, I knew this program was special. We discussed our goals and built a training program around those goals. Ryan was always prepared and made sure my lifting techniques were good to be effective and to avoid injury. He truly cared about my development as an athlete and pushed me hard and smart enough with a positive attitude. Our training definitely got me prepared for the basketball season"

"I have tried multiple types of exercise including zumba, small workout classes, cardio, etc, but nothing has made me sweat and feel as great as the training classes with Ryan and Amber. They are extremely knowledgable and don't only care about promoting the healthy way to do things, but the correct way to do things. Technique is half the battle and they have a way of professionally walking you through the learning and growing process. I never imagined I'd be the person to wake up at 4:00 am to workout and now it's become a part of my weekly routine that I look forward too. If you're motivated to make a change and need assistance, contact them."

"I have a back injury so I’m always a little nervous going to the gym and trying new things. At First Capital Gym, you are in great hands!! The coach is super knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. The gym itself is very clean, and open. You’ll always feel like you are getting 1:1 attention even if other people are there. Highly recommended."

"Hands down an amazing gym if you're looking for personalized care to get you to your health and fitness goals. I started at First Capital Gym about 9 months after breaking my ankle. The incident kind of put my health into a new perspective. I have 100+ pounds to loose and I knew if I only have myself to be accountable to go to the gym, it just wasn't going to work. I needed someone to motivate me and this gym is such a positive community. I've never felt judged for having to modify different exercises to accommodate my level of fitness or the ankle. With the help of everyone at this gym and using weight watcher to account for my nutrition, I've lost over 40 pounds in the past 4 months! Better yet my ankle feels SO much better and is much more flexible than it was when I started."

"Just wanted to take a minute to say how much I enjoy working out at FCG. All of the trainers truly care about their clients. Always happy to see Brayden and FCG trainers in the morning to start my day with a good workout! Thank you and your team for all you do!"

"I first met Ryan when I decided to train for my Strong First level one kettle bell certification. I knew very little about kettle bells at the time and I knew I needed a good coach. The certification is very demanding. In addition to performing six moves with precision, I needed to snatch a 12 kg kettle bell 100 times in less than five minutes. I couldn’t have done this without Ryan’s help. He is a great coach. I’m happy to say that after six month of training with him I passed my certification. I can’t thank Ryan enough."

"Came in for month trial at First Capital Gym after a year of seeing my neighbor transform with massive gains, and am now fully committed. I wish I took before pics! I’m 42 years old, always have worked out and run, but never did HIIT and small group trainings. This is so motivating, and changes the whole day for me. Every day I have class, I find myself eating better which has been one of my main issues. This is a comprehensive work out that my body really needs! Ryan and the crew of trainers push me to levels I would never push myself. They genuinely care about my goals and are helping me achieve them."

"If you're ready for a healthy lifestyle change First Capital Gym is the gym for you. I tried the 6-week program in 2019 and I am still a member. Ryan and Amber created a gym like no other. The trainers are knowledgeable and take the time to know the member and their skill level. They help you perform correctly, encourage you and challenge you. Ryan and Amber created a nonjudgmental and encouraging atmosphere with the small group training sessions. I am so much healthier in many ways since 2019 due to the guidance of FCG."

"The trainers have helped me enormously over the past 8+ months. The workouts at First Capital Gym has had a greater effect on me than the therapy I received after my sisters suicide(2013), my sons death(2016) and my moms death a few months ago. It’s also an investment in my health for now and the years to come. The three days a week I go (MWF-445am) are always something I look forward to because once I get there, and especially when I'm done, I feel great and the rest of the day is easily done. I now cannot imagine NOT doing this routine."

"Ryan Zuver knows his stuff! We've been meeting with him to screen and fix our KB form. In just a few personal training sessions, we're already feeling - and seeing - a difference! He's not only knowledgeable, he's also patient, thorough and highly committed. First Capital Gym is a treasure - wish we had Ryan in Harrisburg but his gym is worth the drive!"

"Ryan is very knowledgeable and I consider to be one of the best. I trained with him throughout my high school years, and eventually worked up to a 455 pound deadlift as a 17 year old. I recommend him to anyone who is within 30 minutes of the York area. You will move better and make gainzzz!"

"Ryan is by far the most dedicated trainer I've ever worked with. A comprehensive interview process creates workouts that target specific goals and believe me, you will achieve them. If you don't? That's on you. I'm 48 and in the best shape of my life thanks to Ryan. Book some time with this man if you want to be as well. You won't be sorry. Thank you Ryan!"

"I went to Ryan to get some coaching on my dead lifts, squats, and bench press. I had been learning technique from videos and friends, but needed to get some individual coaching to progress. Ryan started by doing a mobility screening to make sure I could do the lifts safely, and identify where I needed improved mobility to progress in my lifts. The second session he analyzed my form, gave me a few crucial cues and right away the lifts got easier. I've spent the few weeks since using lighter weights and focusing on my form to cement the new skills. I just recently PRed on all three lifts and am looking forward to new PRs this week. As if that wasn't enough, Ryan was absolutely professional in every way during the sessions, over the phone, communicating over email, etc. I highly recommend him!"

"I had gotten to the point where I was not motivated to do anything after the death of my son. I had no energy and was getting depressed every time I looked in the mirror. A friend of mine had recommended this gym to me. I decided to try the six week training program to see if this would be a good fit for me. I was amazed by everything I saw and learned the first six weeks. I feel motivated to workout. I don’t look for excuses to not go. The workouts are great, I feel more energetic and I feel like myself again. I am so happy I made the choice to come here. Thank you Amber and Ryan for all that you do to keep me feeling better about myself. I will recommend this gym to everyone!"

"They are extremely great at their jobs. They really know how to best help you whether you are healthy already or coming off of an injury. I got in a car accident and had surgery was worried that I would lose everything I worked so hard for. They came along side me and made accommodations so that I could workout. They have great equipment and lots of space. As a college student this is the best gym I have gone to and I highly recommend it."
