12 Week Coaching Mentorship Program
Be mentored by the best coaches in the world.
Program Features
12 Weekly Small Group Calls
Each week’s calls has a specific topic and focus, and will be a combination of teaching and dialogue among you, your mentors, and peers. We limit the cohort to 6 people for an intimate experience.
6 Biweekly Individual Calls
Every 2 weeks, you’ll meet with your mentor for a one-on-one call. We design these calls to meet you where you are at and take you to where you want to go, therefore customizing it just for you and your goals.
Additional Support + LEarning
You’ll get access to our online learning modules to supplement the topics on the calls, as well as outside assignments where you can practice and implement the topics yourself - and then review with your mentor!
There’s a lot of noise out there in the fitness space, yet not a lot of clarity and focus for coaches to refine their craft.
That’s why we created this program - to not only give coaches a solid foundation for coaching a complex sport like CrossFit, but also give them the tools they need to see their uniquely individual athletes succeed.
As much as we’d like our education to be linear, we believe that everyone doesn’t fit inside a standard box, which is why the Conquer Coaching Mentorship is about you, and your journey.
we believe that all of our journeys are genuinely unique.

Conquer Mentorship Testimonials
“I have been in a mentorship with Ryan for almost two years now. In looking for a mentor to learn about individual design I luckily stumbled upon Ryan because he coached a friend. Not only did Ryan meet me where I was at with my limited knowledge of programming, he has dripped out and layered our time together to create a foundation of knowledge that stands alone above anything else I have seen or experienced in the space. I came in with a desire to learn about individual design for the sport of fitness and feel like I’m getting a Masters in Strength and Conditioning. Second only to my Level 1, no money I have spent has impacted my skillset and understanding of fitness more than my time with Ryan. I cannot imagine a time professionally where he isn’t in my corner to bounce ideas off of.
Ryan has stewarded a true mentorship far beyond the transactional, boilerplate offerings currently in the space, of which I have done many. Our time together has been invaluable to the development of my skillset and I feel I now have the tools to execute on career goals that seemed impossible before.”

Director of EducationRyan has practiced and coached the Sport of Fitness since 2008, from the time when he opened a CrossFit gym in San Diego, to transitioning to Individual Design coaching both in person and remotely. As an athlete, he has competed in both CrossFit and the Endurance world, completing multiple Olympic Distance Triathlons, Ultra Marathons, and local-level CrossFit competitions. He has more recently taken up BJJ as well as hunting (which is much more easily accessible where he lives now in the Pacific Northwest), which are his new passions, in addition to functional training.
In late 2017, Ryan decided to leave his service in the Coast Guard to pursue coaching and growing UPRISE Fitness full-time. Since then, Ryan has had the honor of working with numerous tactical athletes, CrossFit Games, Sanctional, and Semifinal athletes, as well as everyday athletes who just want to be better so they can keep crushing life. To this day, Ryan’s number one goal is to help people live a life where their fitness never holds them back, and they can continue to do badass things.
As a coach, Ryan’s focuses are his athletes and to always continue learning, especially in the realms of strength & conditioning, mindset, and nutrition, he’s always working on one or more certification programs. He's also Director of Education for Conquer Athlete, building out all our educational courses, and heading up the mentorship programs, where he can share his passion for learning and developing with other coaches. Using his knowledge and learnings from some of the best mentors in the business, he helps his athletes and mentees develop both mentally and physically so they can reach their highest potential.
