Allison McCurdy

The Bar Method Point Loma & Solano Beach

An avid snow skier, hiker, and “anything cardio” enthusiast, Allison remained mainly outdoors to exercise until she found The Bar Method™ in 2007.

Ryan Krupa

Mosaic Yoga

Ryan has specialized in leadership and management development, both as a leader and a facilitator. He has been blessed with the opportunity to work in four major institutional settings: Military, Government, Non-Profit, and Industry.

Due to this, he has had a wide range of experiences that provide a unique perspective when working with clients to address both personal and professional challenges. He has served as a Captain in the United States Marine Corps,... Read the profile >>
