Ron is top notch. After baseball last summer my son (13) told me he felt "slow". We both knew this was mostly true - he was among the slowest on the team. We asked around of friends here in Chicago for youth fitness trainers and were referred to Ron. The rest was easy - he's a great guy, he knows his stuff and he's amazing with kids. After a few months with Ron, my son is now among the 3 fastest kids on the team in the exact areas that it counts - catching fly balls and sprinting the bases. It's not only his speed that's improved, his overall strength is off the charts compared to where he was.

I've worked with a number of personal trainers, and Ron is hands down the best. Most recently he created a custom nutrition plan and workout routine, and I'm down from 183 to 174 in 2.5 weeks. The results fitness wise are mind boggling. My conditioning and strength has drastically improved in such a short amount of time, and I have way more energy. At 35, I feel like I could compete with high school athletes. Week 1 I was exhausted after my workouts. By the end of week 2 I had some much energy I didn't want to stop and able to do more challenging things. I've worked out with Ron as a one-on-one client and been a part of his morning boot camps. Both have their benefits and would recommend anyone to try. They exercise are not your typical ones, which makes them very interesting - generally not involving your typical gym weights. I've noticed huge improvements in strength, conditioning, energy level, balance, speed, and mobility. You're not going to find anyone more qualified and knowledgeable about fitness and health, and you will get if you put in the work. He has a private studio and access to a large warehouse-like athletic space that allows to do some really interesting stuff. One thing of importance... I have several injuries that have lower back and shoulder injuries and arthritis that makes many traditional exercises painful. Other trainers I've worked with have inevitably ignored these issues and generally results in a reoccurring injury. Ron structured my workout where I literally get the best workouts I've ever had without even the slightest amount of discomfort in these areas. He really pays attention to you as a person and how to get you to your goals.

I began working with Ron 4 months ago and without a doubt it's been one of the best decisions I ever made. I tried to lose weight on my own and with another trainer but I did not succeed. Ron tailored an approach to fit my needs. At first our workouts seemed a bit unusual to me as they were geared more toward development of larger muscle groups as opposed to traditional cardio workouts. Over time Ron incorporated cardio work as well. Ron also provides nutritional / dietary guidelines. The combination of these approaches increased my metabolic rate and turned the tide for me. I have lost 6 inches off my waist and the results have greatly exceeded my expectations. I am more motivated now than ever as I've learned how to improve my health and appearance without having to starve myself. Ron was fun and supportive every step of the way and the workouts are held in a private facility. He cracked the code I have been struggling with for years.

Ron's Fun Fit Moves is a great way to get in shape. The pace and variety of movements makes exercising this way effective and fun. When was the last time you could say that about a workout...and it is a workout. You do some cardio and toning, plus the all important core strengthening. I am reaching my goals and getting results. I would recommend Ron as a trainer to anyone looking to improve their fitness and performance.

Not only does Ron at Tri-Fitness work with achieving my fitness goals-he also can work on sports-specific goals. Last winter I had to get ready for a ski trip. For six weeks, Ron changed my workout to fit the sport of skiing. Not only did my skiing improve, but for the first tie ever, my legs did not fatigue like they use to. My core strength was unbelievable do to the conditioning program he put me through. What a great ski experience!
