Fantastic experience: Great gym for everyone including seniors, saw real progress and strength gains. Coach Lex's gym has been a positive experience for my elderly parents (both 65+). Initially skeptical and tired after sessions, they've grown to enjoy their time there. Pros: - Tailored approach for different fitness levels - Focus on safe movements and foundational strength - Noticeable improvements in strength and energy The trainer's patience and expertise in working with seniors really stands out. My parents are moving better and seem more energetic day-to-day, and most importantly - STRONGER. While it took some time to see results, the personalized attention has made a difference. Coach Lex's fun demeanor has helped keep them motivated and accountable. It's not always easy, but seeing my parents' progress has been rewarding. If you're looking to get fit even as a senior- the training here delivers results. Definitely check it out.

Fantastic experience: Just finished 3rd sessions, managed to get the rust out of my system. No fatigue, soreness, or reduced motivation during the week. Lex's unorthodox method to fitness is fun, experimental, with a risk/reward feeling. Best thing all the thinking and motivation is his responsibility, my job show up and focus on technique and breathing. Results: -4 exercises with 500 reps, with jog rest periods within 50min. (1/4mile jog) -screenshot below of my fitness watch -not soar or fatigued.

Fantastic experience: Just finished my first couple of sessions with Lex and already feel like a new man! Lex has an incredible personality and customizes a program that fits your individual needs. He is able to thread the line between pushing you to your limit while making sure you do not get injured or overwork yourself within reason. Super excited to see what fitness goals I can reach working with Ronin Fitness long-term!

Fantastic experience: Have been training with Lex Ronin on and off for 3 years and his process is continually being refined and improved. Nothing else like it in Richardson !

Fantastic experience: Great workouts, support and lessons on dieting and lifestyle changes to reach my goals.

Fantastic experience: Great old school workouts!

Fantastic experience: Real good guy, knows his stuff. Had an injury beginning of the year And he made working out bearable with modified exercises that still pinpointed specific muscles.

Fantastic experience: Had 3 sessions so far and we’re looking forward to more! Needed a good lifting gym and so glad we found this place!

Fantastic experience: I joined Ronin fitness a couple of weeks ago and I must admit that he has lived up to the hype. I use to train daily but I’ve fallen off over the past few years being married with 4 kids and a full time job. At age 43 I’m in decent shape but I needed that extra push that I can’t seem to get working out alone or with just another gym partner. Man Lex is on an entirely different level. I spend 45 minutes to a hour there on my scheduled training days and not a second goes to waste. Lex is professional and very down to earth. Honestly, I’m not a real people person but from the moment I first spoke with Lex it was like talking to an old friend. Very comfortable and familiar even. Initially I was concerned with losing money from being unable to make it to training some days because my job requires callouts at a moment’s notice. Lex is very flexible when it comes to this. He pretty much builds his schedule around his clients. This is a big plus for me. And the workouts;it doesn’t seem like much when you’re doing them but man are they effective!!!! I started training in the gym when I was a teenager. I’ve even operated a training facility and coached numerous individuals. I didn’t think that there was much more for me to learn and initially I joined for the extra push and motivation. But man was I wrong. Lex has definitely done his homework. He’s good. Really good. Another plus is that sometimes my 4 year old has to come with me. Lex is very welcoming to the kiddos to come along and set on the sidelines and watch while you do your thing. A very huge plus for me with my wife and my busy life.

Fantastic experience: Lex is a great trainer! He is great at formulating a good plan for exercise for your current fitness level. I am looking forward to continuing with him. I appreciate the 3x a week plan so I can get a good workout with mix of cardio and strength training while have periods of recovery in between.

Fantastic experience: Fits my style, no nonsense fitness training.

Fantastic experience: One of the Best Decisions I've Made This Year! This is a very useful tool if you are a martial artist or someone trying to improve their health and gain strength. The Ronin Fitness system of training is intelligent, technical, and well rounded. It includes aerobic, anaerobic, flexibility, & agility. I started with Ronin Fitness July 2014. After just 2 weeks, I noticed that my jogging improved. I was able to run 6 miles in the normal time it takes me to do 5. Every martial artist should have this type of training in their arsenal. I train in kickboxing/karate on the days in between Ronin Fitness & Lex's training compliments my martial arts training. Every time I go to kickboxing/karate, I can punch and kick the heavy bags harder than the day before. I am also getting faster and faster in my execution of technique. I have noticed constant progress in my appearance, strength, endurance, and mobility. If you are serious about making a positive change in your health and demand concrete results, Ronin Fitness is the perfect place to take that step. It provides a focused one-on-one environment where there are no distractions, Just blood, sweat, tears, and Victory.

Fantastic experience: Best trainer! I love the combination of weights and kickboxing.

Fantastic experience: Lex is awesome! The training is great and he’s really good at keeping you going when your ready to give up!

Fantastic experience: I love reading reviews and sometimes when people have 5 stars across the board it sketches me out a little and feels inauthentic. BUT that is not the case here with Lex! I needed someone to push me where I have yet to push myself and he’s done just that. I genuinely cannot thank him enough for helping me put my best foot forward.

Fantastic experience: Lex Ronin is the real deal, truly old school training that works. Lex is a master of pushing you to achieve results while avoiding burnout or injury. Lex achieves results that far more than the cost the training. His gym is a relaxed and you get excellent one on one training customized to each client.

Fantastic experience: I came back to the Dallas area after over almost two decades away and was looking for a trainer to get back into shape and get stronger. I found Lex and we had our initial consult and signed with him right away. We’ve been working together for two months now and this is the best decision I made. Lex is a great coach and knows all about building the body and how to target the diff muscle areas. He’s also just a really kind and funny person and I always look forward to our sessions. I feel more energetic and stronger since working with Lex and highly recommend anyone looking for a trainer to start here! 10/10 ⭐️

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Good variety in workouts, and lots of helpful tips are given.

Fantastic experience: Lex is knowledgeable and professional, and took the time to understand my individual needs and goals. He has wealth of experience in the fitness industry. No fluff, no nonsense, just a simple old school training approach that actually works. He pushes me to work harder and go beyond my limits, but does so in a supportive and positive way. I always feel challenged during our sessions, but also empowered and confident in my abilities. I highly recommend Ronin Fitness to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and motivating professional to help them achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: He pushes me to the limit, and he is very professional

Fantastic experience: I enlisted in Lex’s training whenever I was in Dallas for work. Between the work dinners and drinks, training with Lex made sure my weight didn’t fluctuate much and enabled me to remain focused on my goals

Fantastic experience: Great personality and very fun to work out with. I was able to fix form on several lifts, get a jumpstart on improving cardio and boxing, and saw improvements in body composition. Look out for renovations coming in 2023.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Lex for about three months. Very happy with the results so far! Having a great time working out, especially the boxing.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Lex to use lifting weight to lower my high blood sugar (type 2). Two sessions done and my blood sugar dropped 51 points with essentially the same exact diet before / after (keto). Really thankful!

Fantastic experience: Lex is great, very patient, and allows your body to determine the speed. Two week and have already lost 15lbs

Fantastic experience: I had been looking for a trainer for a while and the trainers that I got in touch with were not my style, WAY too expensive or we just didn’t click. When I got a call back from Ronin I knew it was going to be a good fit. I can already see results and he even has me set up on meal plan, which I desperately needed. I’ve never had a trainer before so I was super intimidated my first time but I was worried for no reason. He teaches me the correct form and is patient with me, but not too patient! Plus, we box at the end of each session and I had no idea that I’d fall in love with it as much as I have. So far so good! Loving the workouts and his personality. Highly recommend!!! 10/10

Fantastic experience: Two months in and definitely feeling a difference in strength! Lex is a great motivator and is training me to achieve and exceed the goals I have set for myself. Looking forward to the next few months and my overall physical fitness!!

Fantastic experience: If you are serious about training Lex is the guy.One on one sessions an hour long.Old school training and he focuses on what you need to improve.Easy to focus no public or people coming in.Just you and him and a whole lot of work!

Fantastic experience: If you're committed to working hard to improve your health, strength, and endurance, Lex Ronin, Ronin Fitness of Richardson, is your trainer! I've been training with Lex Ronin since July/August of 2019 and couldn't be happier with the results achieved. Lex continues to be great to work with, even going virtual during the COVID-19 pandemic shut down of 2020, mixing routines up to stay fresh and interesting while having the maximum benefit toward my fitness goals. I began as a 67-year-old in reasonably good health who, in the previous year, had lost 60 lbs. and needed to firm up. I also wanted to build up (not bulk up) my upper body strength. I would highly recommend Lex. Meet with him. Discuss your goals and his methods. Take a trial workout session. Then make your decision. You won't be disappointed. This is the longest I've continued in ANY formal exercise/training program and plan to continue for the foreseeable future. Mark Lewis 2/23/2022

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Lex for over a year and have been extremely pleased with the results and workouts. He is well versed in many training aspects and works with you to achieve your goals. It is old school fitness which is what I wanted

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Lex for several weeks and absolutely love it. He knows what he's doing and makes it fun. I've never worked with a trainer before so was not sure what to expect. If you want someone who is very knowledgeable about training, upbeat, and supportive, he is your guy. Plus, his sweet dog, Kit, is always there to show you love and put a smile on your face.

Fantastic experience: My glutes are looking way better!

Fantastic experience: Lex is a great trainer and a decent dude. I've gotten bigger and stronger because of Lex. He's got an old school mentality, which is exactly what I wanted. He does a great job of teaching you proper lifting technique but also explaining why the workouts are structured the way they are. I've learned a lot and gotten stronger. Not much more I could ask for from a trainer.

Fantastic experience: Lex's no frills, old school approach is exactly what is needed for lasting results. I'd highly recommend his gym to anyone - no matter their level of fitness or fitness goals. Lex will meet you in the middle and being you to the top!

Fantastic experience: Came to Lex to help get in shape for joining the military. He definitely helped push me and I made noticeable progress pretty quickly. There were quite a few times where I struggled a bit, but he always made sure I could finish my workout. Wish I could stick around to train with a bit longer. I definitely recommend Lex if you are looking to get stronger.

Fantastic experience: Worked with many trainers but none have come close to the commitment and focus that Lex provides. If you want to change your life, then go see Lex!

Fantastic experience: Great personal trainer gym. Lex is focused and has a great training plan

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad to finally find a trainer like Lex. Simple, challenging, and effective are the best ways to describe his program. He has been super flexible with everything from my schedule, injuries, to plain old days where I'm off my game.

Fantastic experience: When I first walked in, I didn’t expect to have such a great time while working out! Lex with push you and really help you take things to the next level! He showed me good form and helped me get back into lifting weights all the while being personable and friendly. I was able to lose 4% body fat from just going there for 5 weeks and my muscle tone was amazing. Weight wise, I dropped pounds, but his approach on me was building muscle, and not doing extensive cardio, which is exactly what I needed and what I got! I learned how to work out right and lex taught me and kept me going further to hit my Max’s and my goals. He is an amazing personal trainer and I would recommend him for anyone. He has helped people get back into fitness all the way from post-hospital stays to people who are training for competition. If you need a trainer, anywhere, skip the gyms and the weird websites and go to Lex!

Fantastic experience: Lex is hands-down the best personal trainer I’ve ever had. He’s well experienced in body building and working around injuries. He’s helping me reach my fitness goals. I would definitely recommend Lex to anyone who is looking for a professional personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Lex is an awesome trainer! I"ve gotten an intense, hard workout everytime I've showed up. As well as some good conversations with him. He's very knowledgeable in personal training, weight lifting, and overall health. No gym fees, gimmicks or up sales. There is no contract involved either. He's honest and upfront with you. Just be ready for a complete workout!

Fantastic experience: Learn so much from Lex in fitness and martial arts!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with lex over a month now and I can definitely say that I have seen a change in body and mentality. Now I live a more healthy fit life thanks to all the knowledge and work he has put me through! If you are looking to make a change in your life for the better, definitely give lex a call. You won’t regret it

Fantastic experience: Lex looks scary and that’s exactly what I was looking for. ;) I’ve only been with him 3 weeks, but I’m super happy with my progress. He pushes you hard, but you’ll get the point where it’s almost all self-motivation. Most importantly, he pays attention to your needs as a client. I’ve got high blood pressure and sometimes he’ll stop me even when I’m in go-mode. Its crystal clear that my health comes first with Lex — even over my own ego (or his) Bottom line: scary-looking dude, but a genuinely great trainer I’d recommend

Negative experience: Unprofessional & unresponsive.

Fantastic experience: Lex is legit and genuinely cares about the success of his students. I have been sitting at a desk for >11 years with very little physical activity. Lex's methods account for this while still pushing you to set new limits for yourself and keeping you accountable. I initially signed for 3 months but I like working with him so I will be signing for another 3 months. Thank you, Lex!

Fantastic experience: First time ever getting a personal trainer but Lex definitely set the bar high. Great guy that has both experience and knowledge in the art of fitness. I would definitely recommend anyone who’s looking to start a journey or even transitioning from a different style of fitness to check him out. To be honest be prepared to WORK because he will definitely gauge where you’re at and make you KILL it.

Fantastic experience: If you just want to lose weight, get stronger, or even want to compete then hit Lex up for serious burnout sessions that give you results! I went from a 220lbs powerlifter, to 183lbs. Men's Classic Physique competitor in just a few months!

Fantastic experience: Lex is an amazing trainer! Super flexible and will work with you to make sure you get to where you want to be. Personal workout plan with great 1 on 1 training. Highly Recommend!

Fantastic experience: My arms feel like jello, but I feel the knot where my triceps were worked hard today!!

Fantastic experience: Lex understands every body is different and works with you to help you achieve your fitness goals all with a great motivational attitude and fun stories to keep you going. Great workout, great guy!

Fantastic experience: Looking for a personal trainer who will help you reach your potential, this is the place! Looking for a subject matter expert who can answer your questions, this is the place! Looking for some good old school training, this is the place! I have no reservations in recommending Ronin Fitness DFW.

Fantastic experience: There's a lot of "trainers" that got their certification from a cracker jack box, that have no knowledge or skills to back up their cost. Lex has tons of knowledge, to get you wherever you want to be. He lives it, and has made a career of it. GO TO HIM
