VERSUS//ORDINARY is a one-man mission to redefine what personal training should look and feel like.
Led by me, Ryan Aspden — a coach with 8 years in the trenches of the fitness industry — this isn’t a copy-paste service or a faceless fitness brand. It’s personal. It’s real. It’s built on grit, honesty, and long-term results.
I work directly with every client — no handoffs, no cookie-cutter plans, no hype. Just honest coaching and a relentless drive to help you train smarter, live stronger, and become the boldest version of yourself.
Whether you’re local to Darwen or training with me online, you’ll get support that’s tailored, focused, and rooted in what actually works — not what’s trending.
This is for people tired of doing fitness like everyone else.
Welcome to the rebellion.
Welcome to VERSUS//ORDINARY.
One man. One mission.
Real coaching. No Compromises.
At VERSUS//ORDINARY, the mission is simple:
Break the mould of traditional fitness — one client at a time.
I help individuals embrace their uniqueness, challenge the norm, and build real strength — physically and mentally. I coach with integrity, train with purpose, and create a space where being uncommon isn’t just accepted… it’s the goal.
Every plan is built from scratch — grounded in grit, growth, and honest progress.
No quick fixes.
No gimmicks.
No trends.
Just real coaching.
BUILT. NOT BORN.
I didn’t come from elite sports or have a background in fitness. I came into this the same way most people do — trying to figure it out for myself. No roadmap. No shortcuts. Just a drive to get stronger, feel better, and do it my own way.
What I found was an industry full of noise — generic plans, empty promises, and trend-driven nonsense. None of it felt real. None of it lasted.
So I stopped following — and started building something different.
Over the past 8 years, I’ve coached beginners, athletes, and everyday people rebuilding after setbacks. I studied. I learned. I tested what actually works — in real life, with real people.
And one truth became clear:
Fitness only works when it’s built for the individual.
That’s why I created VERSUS//ORDINARY — not as a brand, but as a rebellion. A commitment to purpose-driven coaching that cuts through the noise.
I’m not here to sell shortcuts or six-pack promises. I’m here to coach people who want to build real strength — not just look strong.
Every client gets individualised coaching.
No BS. No ego. No copy-paste.
Just smart training, radical accountability, and support that actually means something.
If you’re ready to train with intent and leave the ordinary behind — you’re in the right place.
Let’s build something stronger.
The Code.
REBEL WITH PURPOSE — We don’t follow, we disrupt. This is training that challenges the norm and creates lasting results.
STRENGTH IN INDIVIDUALITY — Ordinary doesn’t live here. You bring your path, your pace, your power — we build strength around it.
RADICAL ACCOUNTABILITY — No excuses. Just ownership. We lead with honesty and integrity — and expect the same from you.
BUILT FOR THE LONG HAUL — This isn’t about before-and-after photos. It’s about coaching that sticks — sustainable, smart, and built to evolve with you.
COMMUNITY OVER COMPETITION — No egos. No judgment. Just a tribe of outsiders and game-changers lifting each other up.
RELENTLESS GROWTH — Physically. Mentally. Personally. Progress isn’t optional here — it’s who we are.
TRUTH OVER TRENDS — We don’t chase hype. Everything we do is grounded in coaching, science, and real-life results.
What VERSUS//ORDINARY is built on.
We challenge the broken standards of the fitness industry. No toxic fads. No cookie-cutter BS. Just real results — forged through grit, individuality, and authenticity.
