I was not in bad shape by any means but I felt I was struggling to get the scores I wanted and was worried that I might not pass in one of the events…so I turned to Train With Ron upon the suggestion of a friend. So when I started to prepare for a fitness test with the FBI I wasn’t too worried about it. Stay tuned for Part 3!!!Īs someone who was a “lifelong athlete” playing 5 sports in high school, soccer in college and post college I never felt like I needed help staying in shape. But these guys find a way to make it fun. Don’t get me wrong - it’s really hard work. I know the last 35 pounds are going to be even tougher to lose, but given the motivation and encouragement I get from TWR I’ll do it. The camaraderie is unlike anything I’ve experienced in any other gym. Nor would other clients! It’s such a great environment for those who are serious about becoming or staying fit. I admit I did hit a plateau, but Ron, DB & Matt wouldn’t let me give up. I even completed my first 5K race - which would have been unbelievable a year ago. The good news-I’m now down 65 pounds and best of all … I’m off blood pressure medicine! My doctor is amazed what great shape I’m in now. Part 2 – It’s Septemand it’s been 1 year and 3 months since I first walked into TWR. My goal for the next six months…run a 5k race, and take off another 40-50 lbs! As long as I’m training with TWR I actually think I’ll make it. I can’t say enough about Train with Ron, except if you want to get back in shape…or just want to improve your fitness level, you can’t go wrong working with Ron and his team.

I was a little nervous when I first started because I am older and was really out of shape, but everyone there (including other clients) has been supportive, encouraging and challenges me to do my best. But they were patient and helped me strengthen the muscles below and above the knee and now I’m even doing lunges. I’m actually starting to run and love it. I have never run a day in my life - until I started training with TWR. Don’t get me wrong, it is hard work - but the motivation they provide, along with the education on both a fitness level and nutrition level is remarkable. And if I didn’t have to work I’d probably be training with Ron and his trainers DB and Matt every day. Seven months later, I’ve already lost over 40 lbs, I have more strength and endurance than I did when I was 30. What would you do if you were an over-50, cancer survivor, unfit, overweight woman? If you were me you’d Google for a personal trainer in Chicago and find Train with Ron.
