At the Impact Athletic Center, our mission is simple: deliver elite coaching that elevates the individual and strengthens the community. We believe strength and conditioning is a virtuous practice — one that shapes character, builds lifelong health, and empowers people to pursue their goals with confidence and purpose.

What sets Impact apart is not just what we do, but how we do it. Our coaching staff brings years of experience, proven success, and a deep commitment to every athlete and adult who trains with us. We offer a premium, highly coached training environment — not a crowded open‑gym. Every session is intentionally capped at eight athletes, ensuring meaningful instruction, individualized attention, and a training experience that simply can’t be replicated in large‑group settings.

Strength and conditioning doesn’t need to be complicated. We focus on mastering fundamentals, building consistency, and creating training plans that evolve with you. Physical change happens through repeated effort — and our coaches are here to guide, teach, and support you every step of the way.

At Impact, you’re not just working out. You’re training with purpose, with a plan, and with a team that’s invested in your success.

Ryan Breen is the Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach at the Impact Athletic Center, bringing energy, professionalism, and a strong foundation in sport science to every athlete he works with. A 2026 Siena University graduate in Health Sciences, Ryan spent four years as a strength and conditioning intern with Siena Athletics, supporting Division I programs across basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and rugby. His time there helped him develop sharp coaching instincts, clear communication skills, and a deep understanding of how to train athletes safely and effectively.

He continued building his experience with Union College’s Division I men’s and women’s hockey programs, gaining exposure to one of the most physically demanding collegiate sports. Now at the start of his professional coaching career, Ryan is committed to honing his craft—pursuing advanced certifications and beginning a master’s program in exercise science to expand his expertise.

Outside the weight room, Ryan competes for Spindles United in the Upstate NY Premier League, bringing an athlete’s mindset and competitive edge to his coaching.
