Ryan has gone through many challenges in his life. Being born with physical disabilities he had to face adversity at a very young age. This experience taught him how to set and accomplish his goals in life. His biggest accomplishment was becoming the Musclemania World Champion in the Bantam Weight Division.

Ryan Ortizo has taken all the experience that he has learned from Body building fitness and used it to help his clients reach their goals.

Ryan’s Motto is; don’t live your life on “If’s” and “Maybe’s”. Don’t be one of those people that always say, maybe if I train I could get in shape. Rather than tell yourself over and over again I Will go and Train and I will get in shape. Ryan Ortizo’s secret in life is very simple, set your goals and do everything you can to get there and don’t let anything stand in your way.

If you are planning to compete in body building then personally I would say yes. You have to consider the amount of money you need to spend on food, supplements, a trainer, physio if you ever pulled something, tanning etc etc. All this adds up in the end. If your just doing it for yourself then no. Just join a gym eat, sleep and train hard.

I hope I answered your question.

"Hi P. B, Sorry for the late reply I just came back from Italy. I was training one of my Pro Hockey Players. As for your question. I don't know where you live but you should check with the federation that you wish to join and see if they have a Disability category. That was the category I first started with. After that I moved on to the regular class division. The Bantam Weight division. 145 pounds and under.
When I won the Bantam weight division it was honestly a total shock. In order for me to win I had to look so much better than everyone else that my disabilities were insignificant. I had surpassed all the other competitors by far. So if you wish to go this road be prepared for a lot of frustration if your goal is to win. It will be hard because your disability will make the judging difficult.
Personal I think if you are prepared to train hard then I think you should go for it. Try your best and see what happens. I proved to everyone that anything is possible as long as one works hard, is dedicated and driven. In the end I became the 2004 Musclemania World Bantam Weight Champion.

I wish you all the best!"

"I always preach the same thing. Taking care of your body is like a recipe. You need to train, eat well "diet" and do some sort of cardio.

You can try to just diet and do cardio but your results may vary and might be slow in seeing results."
