BodySpace Spokes Model - Ryan Hughes



Ryan Hughes ; one of the first two IFBB Men’s Physique Pros in the country. He also a Gaspari Nutrition sponsored athlete, Body Space Spokes model finalist, fitness model, trainer and avid fitness enthusiast. I began my journey into the fitness world when I was 15 years old. I was an ectomorph, meaning I had trouble gaining any kind of weight. I was a relatively lean 125lbs at that time, standing 6’0” tall.  

 As you can imagine I was skinny, real skinny. I decided it was time to do something about this, so like many young teenage boys I hit the weights. I obviously had no clue what I was doing, neglected legs and of course did not eat properly. This is pretty much the norm for beginners in the fitness world, as everyone wants results but very few actually know how to achieve them properly. Ryan Hughes takes a no-frills approach to his training and nutrition programs. 

He eats the same healthy foods day in and day out and sticks to the basics in the gym, because that's what works for him. Like a well-oiled machine, Ryan powers through his grueling workouts and never misses a meal, because he knows that you have to eat big to get big. If you want to be a powerhouse like Ryan Hughes, then don't miss his unique muscle building program.

His cheeky looks and ability to wear low cut swim suits whilst perfecting a piercing gaze at the same time is nothing less than a photographers dream.  That might be why he's such an emerging talent in Australia and indeed internationally.  But it's not just in the photo studio that Daniel does his best work.
