We just love Specialty Athletics. My kiddo is not necessarily someone who you would describe as sporty. But he is so excited before and after each and every session. The sessions have helped him recognize his personal enjoyment of exercise, his own agility, and have contributed towards his general sense of self-confidence. Were working with Emily but also know Ryan. Both are incredible - really connect with my kid at his level. I am so grateful we found them!

I have had a great experience training from home with Ryan. He’s friendly, patient, and communicates very well, and we’ve been able to do complete workouts via zoom! It’s so nice to be able to work with a trainer and get stronger, even though I’m staying at home. I wholeheartedly recommend him and Specialty Athletic Training.

Words cannot express how amazing the trainers really are! My son LOVES coming here and working out. Trainer Emily goes above and beyond getting to know my son personally and motivates him. Training here has been such an amazing experience for Dallas!

My son has been training with Specialty Athletic Training for 8 years and counting. I firmly believe that the experience has changed the trajectory of his life. There is so much more beyond the obvious physical gains. Confidence, coordination, social behavior and focus all come together after a workout. Ryan, Brad and all the trainers we’ve worked with over the years have enveloped my son with care and compassion, and have given him the gift of self discipline. We feel close to my son’s trainers and think they are all amazing human beings. Often my husband and I will reflect on the years my son has been a client of Specialty Athletic Training and we are so proud we made it a priority. It’s part of who he is, and will continue to be a part of who he becomes.

Specialty athletic has been wonderful, and Emily and Ryan are always patient and kind with Josh. Emily makes sure Josh always gets the most out of his workouts while also making the session a ton of fun. Seeing Emily is definitely a major highlight of his week. I also appreciate how attentive they are to Covid safety, taking temperature and sanitizing often. Nothing but praise for Specialty Athletic, Ryan and Emily!

Great workout. You get a great sweat in a laid back atmosphere. People are all very nice and the trainers are motivating without an overbearing personality. Really enjoy this place.

I am a PSW. My client has been working out with Specialty Athletic Training since they’ve been open. Every trainer he has worked with has taken the time to get to learn his strengths in order to design a routine that best suits him! He is always in a great mood after a session with SAT!

Going to Specialty Athletic for the past few months has greatly improved my sons endurance and ability to withstand long walks without pain or discomfort. He loves going there, he is valued and respected. I strongly recommend Ryan and the other trainers.

This is an amazing organization! My child has worked with Specialty Athletics for several years and greatly benefitted from the coaching.

My son has been receiving athletic training through Specialty Athletic Training for several years. We are so grateful to have been informed of this wonderful program. Ryan Lockard and his training staff treat each client with consideration and true respect. They are able to identify the individuals unique talents and struggles then create an athletic program tailored to that individual. Our family highly recommends Specialty Athletic Training for individuals with special needs.

My 10 year old son, who is on the autism spectrum, began weekly personal training sessions with Specialty Athletic at the beginning of the year. Being very pleased with the work he was doing, we added a second weekly session over the summer which continues to this day.Our overall experience has been completely positive. He has worked with four different trainers so far, the changes due to our reworking his schedule between summer and the school year. Each one has been excellent! It is clear that the staff communicates among themselves and that his sessions are planned to allow continuous progress regardless of who is leading them.In short, S.A.T. offers exactly what we were looking for & provides an excellent overall experience. We plan to continue working with them for a long time.

Wow, what can I say! Katie and Brad are phenomenal, they are as good as it gets! Ryan has a huge heart and sincerely cares about each and every one of his clients. I’ve NEVER had a bad experience here - nothing but the greatest things to say about these people and all that they do. Highly recommend. They work with your schedule and have a positive attitude.

Specialty AthleticTraining provides an excellent service for Patrick, our son an adult male with Down Syndrome to maintain and build a healthy body, self-esteem and mentorship. . Ryan, Brad, and Emily are terrific trainers and role-models for Patrick and his peers who are enrolled in this program. During these quarantine-days, Speciality Athletic Training also provides virtual training for those who are not able to be in the gym. Putting the individual’s needs first, the staff goes above and beyond to meet the needs of each of their clients.I highly recommend Specialty Athletics to people of all ages and abilities.

Specialty Athletic does such a great job at getting athletes moving and enjoying their workout, sometimes not realizing how hard their working! :) all of the trainers are SO positive and love working with the athletes. Such a wonderful program. Ryan has created something amazing!

Specialty Athletic Training has been a life changer for us. My 15 year old son used to hate going to everything, but he looks forward to his workouts with Brad every week. The physical changes as well as the social growth have been amazing. What I love most about the workouts, are that they arent only lifting weights, or cardio, they work on emotional and social development as well. All of the trainers are top notch! Specialty Athletic Training has been a Blessing to my son and our family!!

Ryan and his staff are truly a gift to our family!

Best of the Best! Specialty Athletic Training provides an inclusive, positive environment for everyone! Ryan & his staff demonstrate their dedication to our kids well being daily. The impact of the team is immeasurable!

I like my workouts with Brad. I like Ryan and his new baby also. All the people are nice and I am getting muscles and pay attention better

Specialty Athletic Training at Lewis & Clark, in Portland has changed my daily life. Im an old guy with a lot of interests but I was feeling confined. My motoric Neuropathy had left my lower leg muscles pretty unresponsive. The result was I was very unstable in getting around, even in my own house! So, I was NOT going out and I was getting weaker. Well, Neuropathy doesnt really have a cure but Brad & Katie noticed that my being sedentary had weakened muscles that DO respond. They reasoned that getting me stronger, in general, could reduce my risk of falling. They designed a program for my issues and theyre STILL developing it. Ive improved in remarkable ways. Others are noticing my progress, as well! Im far less likely to fall. You can imagine, I cant thank them enough! I still use a walking stick but far less often. I am not finished improving. We dont know how far I can go, yet. Specialty Athletic Training makes a HUGE difference!
