Ron Le Fitness - Pasadena, California

Ron was great! He’s enthusiastic and really drives the point home where he can’t do the work for you, but he can help you get to where you want to be. It is not easy but having Ron teach you correct postures and how to use workout equipment was nice. He will push you. If you can’t handle that, go find a different/easier trainer who’ll give you slower, subpar results.

Been training with Ron for a couple of months now. We connected right away at my first consultation. He makes sure to ask what your goals are and what you would expect from working with him. I needed someone to keep me accountable, plus I’m pretty new to lifting weights. He’s your go to trainer if you want someone to push you to be better physically and mentally. Workouts are tough, but get you results! He turned me into a runner too! Time always flies by because he makes each work out so fun. Love that he’s so positive. Highly recommend training with Ron to achieve all of your fitness goals!

I did one workout with Ron and it was great. I was truly looking forward to doing more. But I have decided not to continue working with him because our personalities are not compatible. Ron is too pushy and straightforward (what I would consider rude) for my taste. During our session, he made multiple comments about my appearance ("you're pale, can you tan?" , "you look stronger than you are" , "you look better in person than on Instagram"). You would think (or I would hope) that a professional fitness trainer knows better than to comment so much on a female client's appearance. Obviously I care very much about the way that I look (otherwise I wouldn't be seeking a personal trainer), so I found his comments to be inappropriate and plus they were completely unnecessary. Also, I passed out in my car for an hour after the workout, and nothing like that has ever happened to me before. I was very scared and almost called a friend to come pick me up because I felt so sick and light-headed. I've done hot yoga 2-3 times/week for 7 years, so it's not like I'm a fitness newbie. Ron just pushed me too hard because, again, he kept expressing how he thought I was much stronger than I am because of how I look. The final straw for me was him pushing me to schedule more sessions than I wanted. He was completely inconsiderate of my own goals and needs, and was also ignoring the fact that his service is expensive ($65/session whereas my unlimited hot yoga costs me $109/month). Sad to write this review but I am very disappointed at how this all went down, because it didn't need to go like this.

In November 2020 I started to look for a personal trainer in the Pasadena area and found Ron on Instagram. I started training with Ron in December, 2020. As a trainer Ron has been transformational. I have lost at least 15 pounds of fat while gaining an incredible amount of muscle and strength. I have seen my body become visibly more defined and lean over the last 14 months. Ron has pushed me beyond what I thought I could do and has actively encouraged me both at the gym and outside the gym to achieve my fitness goals. Ron has been and continues to be fully engaged in my fitness journey. I have had trainers in the past that have me do lots of activities without me seeing results. Ron’s approach is targeted toward measurable results which he has helped me achieve. Thanks Ron!

Ron is hands down the most amazing trainer! I cannot say enough good things about him. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of how the body works, nutrition, safety, and what works and what doesn't. Ron is also very supportive and kind. It's soooo good to know that you have someone who always has your back and has your best interests at heart. He genuinely wants you to succeed at your goals and improve your health. During our workouts, I always feel challenged but never feel it's too much. I feel challenged at just the right amount because he tailors the sessions to my physical abilities. Working out with Ron is one of the things I most look forward to during the week. I always leave the gym feeling like I am finally able to be in control of my own destiny and health.

I've already lost over 10lbs of body fat after training with him in a short amount of time. My clothes are fitting better and my energy level has gone up because my body is building lean muscle. When I first started, I could barely do a sit up, but recently I was able to do 10 sets of sit ups and squats. I cannot explain how much joy that fact brings me. There's still a lot of hard work until I reach my goals, but for the first time, I feel empowered that I am actually able to reach those goals with Ron's help. If you are considering personal training, you have to try training with Ron because there is no comparison to him.

I have had a really great experience training with Ron and can feel such a huge improvement in my health and strength since having training sessions with him! Ron is encouraging, caring, and funny, all while making you sweat and helping you to learn better ways of working out. I have learned a lot from him and feel way more equipped to maintain my health and well-being in a way that works for me. I am forever grateful to Ron for how he has helped me! 🙂

I was looking for a Pasadena personal trainer to support and guide me towards my fitness goals, and I’m glad to have found that in Ron.

Ron’s personalized approach over the past 4 months has encouraged my progress in both strength and form. He makes the extra effort to tailor workouts to my needs, while ensuring that I’m both having fun and being challenged. I’ve been shocked by how much stronger I’ve gotten. As a smaller guy, I’ve always thought that my capability was limited, but a push from Ron has really made such a difference!

I've been training with Ron for about 2 weeks now (5 sessions) and have signed up to train with him for 3 months. While it may seem too early to write a review, his positive attitude, knowledge, and commitment to his profession are apparent, deserve a lot of respect and thus he has earned this review. I've tried other personal trainers in the area who made me almost pass out within the first 30 minutes of our first session. The problem: not one took the time to assess 2 basic things (1) my fitness goals (2) my fitness level. Most of the other trainers in the area were difficult to get in touch with, awkwardly pushy, and seemed more eager and interested in getting a consulting fee before even discussing my fitness goals. That wasn't the case with Ron. We spoke multiple times about what my fitness goals were and what I wanted to get out of training. He then suggested I come in for a free training session so that I could see first-hand what kind of training I would be subjecting myself to and so that he could assess my fitness level. Based on this session, he gave me his recommendations and essentially told me what kind of training I would be engaged in and what to expect. It should be noted that Ron's rates are fair, and much more reasonable than other area trainers. The truth is, that while any type of personal training is more expensive than an ordinary gym membership, I now recognize that it's a worthwhile investment for the sake of your health.

Ron is a great trainer and the gym is a wonderful facility. His knowledge level, desire to learn, desire to grow professionally, and his true understanding of the physical mechanics of the human body is demonstrated in his ability to train and motivate clients of varying levels. He is incredibly adept at striking the right balance of motivating you to stretch your limits, while stressing proper technique to ensure that old injuries do not occur again. He willing shares his fitness and nutritional expertise to make the session fun, challenging, and a learning experience. He is easy to relate to, easily accessible, always punctual, and has a good sense of humor which helps to motivate me. I highly recommend Ron to anyone looking for a great trainer. I've already started to see the results and look forward to what the next couple months of training will bring. If you decide to go with him, he'll tailor your routine to help you reach your goals, and give you the motivation, tools, and empowerment you need to become fitter overall - even when you're working out on your own.
