WOW! I dont think I have the words to properly express how much I appreciate and respect Ron. From day one, Ron showed an incredible depth of knowledge and concern for his clients welfare. Ive had issues with chronic back pain which Ron immediately understood and knew how to address, including modifying various exercises to fit my needs. I highly recommend Ron for personal training at any training level.

Ron is a fantastic trainer. He tailors the workout to fit your needs while still challenging you. Ive seen several personal trainers and Ron is, by far, the best. He is also very knowledgeable about Chicago for people new to the city. Highly recommended!

I have been working with Ron for 9 years now and I continue to experience new challenges every month. When I started working with Ron I had not worked out in any consistent manner for many years. Ron started at my level of conditioning and I rapidly saw positive and long term results. As I am somewhat older, I was impressed that Ron listens to me and takes into account physical issues in structuring my workouts. Ron does not have a "formula" workout. Each day is different, but he has an comprehensive plan to increase my overall conditioning, core strength and balance. He even sneaks in a few exercises

Tri-Fitness specializes in workouts that combine strength, cardio, and balance. I typically get bored in group classes, but Ron and Brian constantly change up the workouts to keep it fun and challenging. No burpees either -- no one likes burpees. I also appreciate the level of knowledge Ron and Brian have about muscles, bones, etc. They apply this knowledge in the workouts and have helped me avoid old injuries. 6 - 7 am on M/W/F is a perfect way to start the day. Tons of room in the gym too -- non one is tripping over each other.

I can't speak highly enough about Ron and Brian's style and approach to fitness. I've been attending the M/W/F morning sessions for almost a year. This is the ONLY workout I have ever stuck with for so long and I'm extremely pleased with my results. Over the past year, I've lost weight, gotten stronger, and have had much more energy. Simply put, they're the best workouts I've ever had. Each and every workout is different, which keeps things from getting boring. Their training philosophy is built around high-intensity circuit workouts. But unlike CrossFit

I am a high school athlete that works out with Ron and loves him. Ron is one of the best trainers you can find in the Midwest whether it is sports or to stay in shape. His expertise on proper training is up to date and phenomenal. Results are garunteed when working out with Ron and that is the best part about him. Highly recommend.

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
