Nick Ranes, certified personal trainer in Loveland, Ohio

Meet your personal trainer

Hi, I'm Nick Ranes.

I'm a certified personal trainer with a degree in health and fitness, and for the past 11 years I've been helping people here in Loveland get stronger and healthier. My clients range from young athletes preparing for their season to adults and seniors who want to feel better, move with confidence and stay active for years to come.

Every program I build is grounded in traditional strength training and designed around you: your goals, your schedule and where your body is today. I focus on proper form and steady, sustainable progress, so you keep improving without risking injury. I also regularly work with clients who are recovering from an injury or managing a physical limitation.

Lasting results come from more than the time we spend in the gym, so I'll also help you build simple daily habits and eating patterns that support your training. Whether you're brand new to exercise or getting back into it, we'll start at the right level for you.

Who I train

Every age. Every starting point.

Strength training isn't just for young athletes. Nick adapts every program to the person in front of him, whether that's a fourth grader or a grandparent.

Ages 10+

Youth just starting out

Bodyweight fundamentals first: squats, push-ups, balance and coordination, with weight added only once form is solid.

Athletes

Athletes of all ages

Speed, power and strength for the season ahead, plus the work that keeps athletes on the field and out of the training room.

Adults

Adults building strength

Traditional strength training to get stronger, build muscle and feel better, scaled to your schedule and experience.

70+

Active aging

Strength, balance and mobility for clients in their 70s and beyond, so everyday life stays easier and safer.

Limitations

Injuries & physical limitations

Programs built around injuries and physical limitations, working within what your body can do today and progressing from there.

Train smart

Safety first. Steady gains.

More isn't always better. The best results come from training hard enough to improve, with enough recovery to keep improving. Nick's job is finding that line for you.

Form before load

Every movement is learned and owned before any weight is added.

The right dose

Sets, reps and weight matched to your goals and recovery, so you progress without overdoing it.

Progress you can measure

Small, steady increases tracked over time, adjusted when life, sleep or soreness say slow down.

Built around your body

Past injuries, joint issues and physical limitations shape the plan from day one.

Training options

Training that fits your life

Every program starts with a free consult so we can map out where you are and where you want to go.

Strength is longevity

Strong today. Independent for life.

Strength training is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health at any age. It builds muscle and bone, burns fat, protects your joints and keeps you doing what you love. Here's what the research says.

10–17%lower risk of early death from any cause for adults who strength train¹

3–8%of muscle lost every decade by adults who don’t train²

174%average strength gain in 90-year-olds after just 8 weeks of training³

High school & youth athletes

Train smart now. Stay on the field.

~68%fewer sports injuries in athletes who strength train⁴
~47%fewer overuse injuries, like shin splints and tendinitis⁴
~50%lower risk of ACL tears with proper strength and movement training⁵
90%of lifetime peak bone mass is built by age 18 in girls and 20 in boys⁶

The teen years build the bones, joints and movement habits athletes carry for life. Nick teaches young athletes to move well first, with bodyweight fundamentals before load, the way pediatric experts recommend.⁷

Adults

Lose fat. Build muscle. Protect your joints.

+3 lbof lean muscle in 10 weeks of strength training²
−4 lbof body fat over the same 10 weeks²
+7%higher resting metabolism, so you burn more all day²

Stronger muscles support and protect your joints, and research shows strength training can ease low back pain and arthritis discomfort.²

60, 70 & beyond

It’s never too late to get stronger.

23%fewer falls in older adults who exercise with balance and strength work⁸
+1–3%increase in bone density, fighting osteoporosis²
+48%faster walking speed in 90-year-olds after 8 weeks of training³

People have successfully started strength training in their 70s, 80s and even 90s, with less arthritis pain and stiffness, better sleep and more independence.⁹

Your strongest years can still be ahead of you.

Whether you’re 11 or 75, Nick will build a safe plan that fits your body and your goals.
