TOM LORIO
"I wanted to learn how to take better care of myself and Ron has helped tremendously. He’s gotten me to the gym 5-6 days a week, taught me how to eat better and also think better about exercise and myself. He’s got a great group of trainees and makes a point of introducing you to them, so the gym begins to feel like a family. Just yesterday, I did the City Challenge obstacle course, something I’d never thought I’d do. Now I’m looking forward to next year and training more intensely with his team."

"When I started working with Ron I was 240 pounds and in a total state of denial about how I got to that weight and how I was going to lose it. I really had no idea what was in store for me. I am not going to lie. It has been a bumpy road, but Ron helped me open my eyes to see I was not loving myself but lying to myself. He helped me regain the self-esteem I had lost over the years and in doing so lose 40 lbs. I am so glad I contacted him and truly consider him family. Thank you Ron for your encouragement and honesty."

"Ron's attention to training is INTENSE. I love the combination of his workouts. There is nothing pretty about it. You will work hard, at your own pace, but he will push you. I have seen results in 4 workouts and CANNOT wait to do more. The costs is simply MORE FOR YOUR MONEY when it comes to semi private training. I highly recommend dumping your gym and joining BE FIT JC @ World Boxing Gym. I have checked out gyms like LA Fitness, Club Metro and Hamilton Health & Fitness - and you get way more for your $."

"I see other people with trainers who concentrate on bulking with weights without discussing aerobic training or diet. Ron concentrates on stretching and weight training always emphasizing proper technique. He clearly explains why one way of doing an exercise is better than another. The building block approach is effective because you don't get discouraged right away by not being able to perform an exercise. Ron pushes you to a point where you might feel you could go before you would get discouraged."
SUSAN G.
"After three weeks, I was ready to give up. Ron spent the next hour just talking about our lives outside of me gym, how what we were doing in the gym positively affects our lives outside the gym. FOCUS... Facing and conquering the next challenge, and the satisfaction that goes along with moving on to the next level. Over the next year, I trained with Ron twice a week, and found he was able to get me up on a Saturday morning reaching limits I never thought possible and feeling excited."
