About Us

Simple. TermiNader Fitness was founded around the idea of "people first". We believe building a healthy life is much more important than just lifting heavy weights. 

Ryan Nader, the founder of TermiNader Fitness, has always had a passion for understanding the human body and how movement can improve lives. Graduating from Indiana University in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Ryan specialized in exercise science, athletic rehabilitation, and geriatric rehabilitation. This strong foundation has led to a diverse career in the fitness and healthcare fields, with roles including Fitness Manager, Personal Trainer, and Chiropractic Rehabilitation Therapist.

Throughout Ryan’s time in the fitness industry, one recurring issue became clear: a lack of personalized knowledge. "I’ve seen too many people base their workouts on generalized Tik-Tok and YouTube videos, which may work for some but not for everyone,".

 TermiNader Fitness was born out of a desire to change this. By educating clients on how their body operates and helping them build a "mind-body" connection, Ryan empowers people to not only achieve their fitness goals but also prevent injury and build a sustainable fitness lifestyle.

A Personal Journey of Transformation
Ryan’s personal journey began much earlier. Growing up, he weighed only 115 pounds at his heaviest and endured constant bullying for his size. Over the years, he broke 13 bones and felt trapped in a body he didn't understand. "I started working out to stop the bullying and boost my confidence, but it ended up being so much more. I began thinking clearer, feeling happier, as well as seeing improvements in my body." This transformation sparked a deep curiosity about how the body works, leading him to pursue kinesiology and a life dedicated to fitness.

Before discovering the power of movement, Ryan experienced severe depression and struggled to find joy in daily life. Today, he aspires to share the life-changing effects of movement and body awareness with as many people as possible.

 Through the foundation of TermiNader Fitness, he aims to help others unlock the same physical and mental benefits that changed his life.

 At TermiNader Fitness, we believe that true fitness comes from understanding your body’s natural movement patterns and leveraging them to achieve long-lasting health and wellness. Movement is the foundation of a healthy life, and we’re here to help you unlock your body’s full potential—not by pushing heavy weights or following trendy routines, but by focusing on the way your body is designed to move.

Movement-Centered Fitness
Our philosophy revolves around one central idea: movement is medicine. We believe that fitness is not just about aesthetics or how much you can lift; it’s about learning how your body moves, functions, and performs in everyday life. We guide you through exercises that enhance your body’s natural kinetic pathways, allowing you to train more effectively and avoid injury.

Sustainability Through Education
We don’t just hand you a workout plan; we educate you on the mechanics of your own body. Our mission is to empower you with the knowledge you need to build a sustainable fitness routine that works for your lifestyle. Whether you want to grow stronger, get leaner, or simply feel better in your daily activities, we ensure that every workout is tailored to your specific movement patterns and goals.

A Personalized Approach
We understand that no two bodies are the same. That’s why every plan we create is personalized—customized to meet your unique needs, goals, and movement patterns. TermiNader Fitness is here to help you craft a fitness journey that works for you, whether you’re just beginning your journey or you’re looking to optimize your current routine.

Beyond the Gym
TermiNader Fitness is about more than just physical training. It’s about adopting a lifestyle that prioritizes movement in all aspects of life—at home, at work, and during leisure time. We believe in creating lasting habits that will not only help you look and feel your best but also keep you moving well into the future.
