"After losing a majority of strength and mobility due to injury, Ryan has been a godsend. I have been a lifter all my life, and what I considered to be a knowledgeable person in regards to strength training. Ryan showed me just how little I did know in an instructive, and extremely dedicated manner. Ryan is truly devoted to his clients and constantly places himself ahead of the curve of your typical trainer by applying and incorporating proven techniques, not just the latest fads. I actually laugh to myself when I think about, or see, the "run of the mill" trainer in action. Ryan's commitment leaves his trainees with more knowledge than most "trainers". Ryan Zuver is in an elite class of strength and performance instructors."

"Tracia H: Having moved from NJ 3 years ago and leaving a trainer I absolutely loved behind, I had been on the search for a trainer in York. I wanted a trainer that came close to the same level of dedication, knowledge and enthusiasm I had left behind. After disappointing searches, I finally gave up, until one day I came across Ryan on a web search. I immediately knew he was the trainer for me! I have been with Ryan ever since. He challenges me, yet works around my shoulder and elbow injury, always making sure we aren't causing re-injury. He truly cares for his clients. I found the best trainer in York! Thank you Ryan"

"I've been training with Ryan since 2011 and can say with confidence that I am the strongest that I have ever been at 34 years old. I love the small group format, as it provides an extra boost of motivation and fun while still catering to my individual fitness needs. If you are thinking about making a lifestyle change to add in a physical component, give Ryan a call for a consultation to see if he's a good fit. You won't be sorry."

"I must say, it’s a great experience working with Ryan! He’s very knowledgeable, professional, and experienced. If you’re looking to get fit in anyway, on any level, you definitely should check this place out! Like seriously!!!"

"My goals were to get back to a comfortable weight while improving strength, energy, and endurance. So I started training with Ryan. Six months into Ryan's program, I met my weight goal while achieving definition in my arms, legs, and core. Under Ryan's program, I no longer fatigue quickly, and I am the strongest I have ever been. Even with a complicated thyroid history and two children (the baby is 10 months and oldest is 3), I am in the best shape of my life. At 34 years old, 5 foot 8.5 inches and 142 pounds, I am happy with my body composition and even more pleased with my strength."

"I have been to other gyms previously trying to do things on my own. I found this place based on the website and I am so happy I did. These two, Ryan and Amber, challenge me beyond what I think I am capable of...that’s what good professional trainers do. There are some training sessions where I wish I could quit and ask why I even came in today...but that is what the challenge is and I wouldn’t be able to do half the things I can do now two years ago. This gym is what everyone needs, two people who are dedicated to the craft of getting you stronger mentally and physically. And the gym family encourages and supports."

"After working out with Ryan now for a few months I can say that it was one of the best decisions I made. Sure I could have kept doing the trial and error method, but I know this was one of the reasons my transformation has gone so smoothly."

"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."

"I've never had someone evaluate my fitness level as Ryan did. I feel it's made all the difference. He increases my workouts after reviewing my progress at monthly intervals. I've only just started in May but my back and sciatic issues have already shown improvement. I'm dedicated to working hard to improve my core strength and Ryan has used his skills to get me on the right path. He is a true professional. Thank You Ryan!"

"I can not say enough positive things about my experience at FCG! A few months ago I decided to get back to the gym. So I signed up for their 6 week training program. I was exhausted most of the time. I have arthritis in my back, knees and shoulder to name a few things that have kept me from feeling like I could go back to the gym. I seriously was not sleeping due to how much pain I was in from my shoulder and arm. I couldn’t pick up a coffee cup without pain. The trainers at FCG have worked with me, listened, and have adapted exercises during my workouts to help me be successful! I’m sleeping, picking up a coffee cup, doing functional daily activities with little to no pain!! The best part… leaving the gym feeling successful not defeated! If you're looking for support, motivation and the knowledge to help you reach your fitness goals FCG is the place!!"

"Ryan is a fantastic trainer. We've been working with him the last few months and we look forward to many more months! Ryan's concern for and coaching in form and function were amongst our requirements for training and he delivers. He also goes above and beyond to provide guidelines for training at home between sessions. Thanks, Ryan!"

"Ryan and Amber are both fantastic! They both really explain why the exercise is beneficial and how it is going to help you get to your goals! Ryan is helping me with my SFG2 prep and hes amazing! He really breaks down every skill for me so I can see where my form breaks down and how to fix it. The gym itself is really nice, clean, and you are greeted at the door. Anyone looking for a trainer in York should try it out!"

"Ryan has done a tremendous job training my 14 year old son Parker. A lot of his success in athletics is due to Ryan's great training program and his understanding on how to develop young athletes. I can see the difference in his physique, explosiveness and power. He runs track and you can see the quickness when he comes out of the blocks for his sprints and the clear advantage right off the start. I've been around sports and weight training my whole life and Ryan definitely knows his stuff. If you are a athlete that wants to improve in his or her sport and I would highly recommend Ryan at First Capital Gym for your training. We appreciate everything you do for Parker bro!"

"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!"
