PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Coach Rylan is the founder of The Muscle Method, an online coaching business helping skinny guys in their 20s across Australia bulk up, build strength, and gain confidence through sustainable training and nutrition strategies. With a growing community of over 30,000 followers, Rylan has built a reputation for his simple, no-fluff approach to building muscle and achieving results that last.
Rylan began his fitness career in early 2023 as a Personal Trainer, quickly scaling to over 40 face-to-face sessions per week within just three months — a testament to his work ethic, relatability, and results-driven coaching style. His training philosophy combines bodybuilding and powerbuilding principles, applied both in his own training and with his clients to maximise size and performance.
After achieving rapid success, Rylan transitioned to full-time online coaching, expanding his reach across Australia and helping hundreds of clients transform their physiques and mindset.
Current Role at NHFA
Rylan joined NHFA in April 2024, where he coaches and mentors aspiring fitness professionals. His mission is to equip future trainers with the practical skills, confidence, and mindset needed to succeed — both in-person and online.

Personal Touch
Outside of coaching, Rylan lives and breathes training. When he’s not lifting or mentoring others, you’ll likely find him working on his business, creating content for The Muscle Method community, or enjoying some downtime with friends and family. His passion for growth — both physical and personal — drives everything he does, in and out of the gym.
