Train With Ron is the longest active Private Personal Training Gym in Chicago. There's a reason why: TWR's business model puts the clients' goals and safety first. TWR will design a workout exclusively for you, your goals, and your fitness level. TWR is not a "boot camp" or one size fits all training program all while making TWR the most affordable private personal training in Chicago!

Prior to becoming a personal trainer in 2001, Ron enjoyed a successful career for the nation's largest trade show contractor. His entrepreneurial spirit, passion for personal fitness and athletics coupled with a strong desire to help others achieve their personal fitness goals lead him to leave a promising business career and become owner of Train With Ron.
In 2003, Bally Total Fitness and Gorilla Sports selected Ron as one of the top 10 trainers in the nation. FHM (For Him Magazine) and Bally Total Fitness designed a contest where they chose 10 trainers from the Gorilla Sports elite clubs across the country and assigned each trainer a client in their respective market.
When it comes personal training, Ron has no peer. His winning combination of world class know-how and likability actually makes it fun to push yourself to utter exhaustion. I know from my own research Ron incorporates the latest health science into his regimens. His gym has the feeling of a community, an extended family of sorts so that you're always surrounded by people who support the right habits.
It all started as a bet with a listener and Tom Waddle of Waddle and Silvy on ESPN Radio Chicago AM 1000. ESPN Radio asked Train With Ron if we could provide a bench and two 90 lb dumbbells. How could we say no? Train With Ron matched the initial bet Waddle had with the listener and in conjunction with Mark Giangreco of ABC Channel 7 Chicago and Marc Silverman we all raised over $2100 for the Haiti relief fund.

In my opinion, TWR is the best personal training program in Chicago. Ron makes each workout enjoyable and purposeful. As a bonus, Ron is a genuinely great person who wants the best for every one of his clients. Before Ron, I could barely bench the bar; after 6 months, I had put on 15 lbs of muscle. Simply put, Ron and TWR changed my life! If you're on the fence about personal training, give Ron a call - it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I can't say enough great things about TWR. If you are looking for a personal trainer in the West Loop, look no further! It's the perfect blend of personal training and group fitness classes all in one. Ron and his clients are like family. His gym is welcoming, encouraging and challenging. Expect to be pushed beyond your workout comfort zone but to be supported by Ron every step of the way. You come to TWR to work and when you trust in Ron and leave everything you have in the gym, you get results. TWR for life!

I've been attending Train with Ron for almost 7 months now. The concept behind "TWR" is ingenious! I've hired many personal trainers and I used to own two health club franchises. I know how to work out. I don't want someone staring at me working out. I don't need that. What I need is a motivational atmosphere with someone to push me and give me a good workout. This concept is GREAT! Schedule your appointment, get there, and Ron or one of his trainers give you your workout, and GET IT DONE! The gym is clean, great equipment and everyone is positive! Everything you need to get a GREAT workout! If

When I started with TWR, I was recovering from multiple injuries and was embarrassed at how little I could do, compared with how I could perform before. If Ron was surprised at how weak I was, he never showed it. He continued to push me to achieve more until I got stronger and was always encouraging me. Before long, I was completing workouts I never would have been able to do before working with him. His workouts are tailored to your ability level no matter where it is, and each one pushes you to your limit every time. I appreciated the way he was able to modify workouts for injuries.

I am a tall thin person and have always wanted to push myself to the next level to achieve my goals. Only one problem-myself. I could never get the proper motivation to push that last rep out and to keep going when things got tough. Ron is that PERFECT mix of motivation. He know how to be there for you but yet be able to walk away and let you do it on your own (don't worry, he is ALWAYS keeping on an eye you.)
The gym and equipment are always clean. Showers are available. TVs & great selection of music.
The other members are very friendly and help each other out all the time.

I'm a 60+ guy. I came to TWR nearly 3 years ago with only a small amount of experience with a trainer. My goals were more fitness oriented than weight loss.
I have to say mission accomplished. My 60+ self could whip up on my 19 year old self with little difficulty. I asked Ron to help get me to a point where I could be flexible and strong enough to play senior baseball. Cardio fitness was also a goal. I must say, I'm there. The absolute best shape of my life. And I've learned so much along the way. Ron is a highly knowledgeable, hands-on, and dedicated owner/trainer. He shares freely

I went to TWR nearly everyday for two months straight and would still be at it if it weren't for my move to another city. With a different training session everyday, healthy competition, and a cardio combined with strength training the hour flies by and you feel great for the rest of the day. Trainers are all fantastic and really keep you motivated over time. Thanks TWR!
