Leo Daniel Ryan

From Pain to Performance, Naturally

Leo Daniel Ryan is not just a coach—he’s a living example of what happens when you combine modern science with ancient strength. With over 20 years of experience in personal training, breathwork, neuromuscular therapy, and sports rehabilitation, Leo Daniel has helped thousands move from chronic pain and disease to real strength, energy, and performance.

Leo Daniel did author a textbook on breath training for health, Breathe Free, but his method wasn’t built in a textbook. It was forged through his own healing and performance journey—and the lessons learned from coaching people just like you.

Leo Daniel Ryan Innate Strength Level 4 Coach

From Gaelic Footballer to Breathwork Pioneer

Leo Daniel's story starts on the pitch. As a young athlete, he played Gaelic football and won underage championships despite battling chronic asthma. Determined not to let illness define him, Leo Daniel committed himself to understanding the body—and what makes it strong.

After years of studying, experimenting, and testing training on both himself and his clients, Leo rebuilt his body—naturally.

He cured chronic asthma with breath training.

He gained over 52 lbs of muscle through breath-led training.

He ran a marathon on breath training alone, with his mouth taped and with no traditional training.

He became a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Judo

He even climbed a mountain at -10°C, wearing just boots and shorts

Leo Daniel is one of the best coaches I have come across in twelve years of the fitness industry. He has a great passion and drive for fitness.
