Myo Durham Personal Training and Physical Therapy
Our Story
In 2015, Ryan and Joel met in the pool playing for the Triangle Water Polo Club. Between grueling practices and matches, they found a shared frustration: the fitness world was saturated with “magic pill” marketing and fad-based workouts that lacked real evidence. They realized that for the Triangle community to truly thrive, it needed a space where scientific literature, not social media trends, guided every movement.
With that vision, they founded Myo Durham Fitness and Physical Therapy. Their goal was simple: bridge the gap between elite performance and rehabilitative care. At Myo Durham, we believe that the best results come from a trifecta of:
Expert Coaching: Specialized guidance for everyone from NCAA athletes to post-rehabilitation clients.
Scientific Rigor: Programs built on current biomechanics research and injury prevention.
Individual Consistency: 1-on-1 sessions designed to foster the hard work necessary for long-term health.
Today, we are more than just a gym. We are a private, veteran-owned and Latino-owned practice in the heart of Downtown Durham. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain via specialized Physical Therapy or looking to reach a new peak through MyoFit personal training, our team provides the expert instruction you need to move with purpose.

With goals to play Division 1 softball, they work with me to become the best athlete I can be and to help me manage my pain and stay healthy. Both Joel and Ryan are so kind and have a great sense of humor, and never fail to make me laugh and put a smile on my face.
My doctor was not confident that I would be running at all this year after my surgery. I ran a 5k last week and my time was way closer to 25 minutes than to 30. That is in just over 6 months since my cast was taken off!
I cannot say enough about Joel and his ability to provide true life-changing improvement in my chronic TMJ pain. I started receiving dry needling roughly a year ago. In just a few weeks I had significant decreases in headaches, blurred vision, jaw tightness, cramping, etc.
Joel is so patient and really listens to your body’s feedback to accompany his own knowledge and intuition about treatment direction. He continually assesses the spine, muscles, joints, etc to be sure that he is addressing all concerns as thoroughly as possible.
