I like Lex's training style. His gym is tiny, big enough to train one person at a time. This really lowers the intimidation factor for someone not feeling good about hauling their fat, untrained self into a gym full of beautiful people.

I recommend Lex very much. Lex really went out of his way to accommodate my busy work/travel schedule. Also, he customized my workouts based on his years of experience and DEEP knowledge of fitness history. I like that he reads and researches specific methodologies and then actually thinks about how to correctly apply them to the person he’s training. Today we did something called PHA/ Periphrial Heart Action that dates back to the 50s and was later adopted by Bruce Lee. You won’t get that with your average bro trainer. It’s certainly an investment but worth every penny. More...

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. More...

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. More...

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! More...

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.

As a triathlete, I thought I was in pretty good shape until I tried to ramp up my golf game. Soon I realized I needed more core strength to excel. Lex taught me the value of regular anaerobic exercise to complement aerobic workouts. Now I'm a better athlete at age 70 than when I was 50 thanks to Lex Ronin at Ronin Fitness DFW https://m.facebook.com/lexronindfw/ More...

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! More...

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. More...

I'm a Junior hockey player and this year I've gotten to go to Canada to play! I needed to get stronger with my whole body so I could preform way beyond any other goalie in the league so I started training with lex in April and we trained three times a week! Workouts were always hard work and I never left a session feeling like I had anything left in the tank, he pushed me to my limit and beyond! My big goalie camp before the season was in August and after training with him all summer I was one of the top goalies there and I was keeping up with Division 1 goalies!! Now I'm in Canada and I feel great every time I'm at the gym with the program he has me on and on the ice I'm not as fatigued as I have been in the past and I move so much better and I'm so much stronger on the ice!! Recommend Ronin Fitness a 11 out of 10 to anybody!!!! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
When a client learns that getting and STAYING fit isnt at all difficult and they decide to "fly on their own" then I am very proud. Any trainer who truly believes in what fitness can do for the ENTIRE person ultimately wants their clients to become Independent. (But still come visit tho! ha
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Understand that Fitness is not a product that you can buy but is an all-permeating MINDSET that takes time to cultivate.
What do you love most about your job?
When a client learns that getting and STAYING fit isnt at all difficult and they decide to "fly on their own" then I am very proud.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Once upon a time I used to be the classic "98 pound weakling" who smoked , drank , ate junk food and didn't exercise and with a little help was able to do a total 180. If I Can you then its 110% certain that you can do it too!
Why should our clients choose you?
It's not about me, it's about what I can do for YOU the CLIENT! Confused about where to start? I remember my confusion when I began my own journey many years ago! That's normal and exactly why I give my one-on-one clients 100% every single session. Period. You bring the honest desire for positive change and I provide the rest!
