Visiting from Spain. Love the gym. I will give him 20 out of 10 star 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

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 !
Great workouts, support and lessons on dieting and lifestyle changes to reach my goals.
Great old school workouts!
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. 💪🏾
Had 3 sessions so far and we’re looking forward to more! Needed a good lifting gym and so glad we found this place!
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 ... More
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. Less
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.
Fits my style, no nonsense fitness training.
Started working out with Lex. I think he’s just what I needed and his training style resonates with me and I’m excited to show up and bust out my workout
So excited to start my fitness training journey! Been a great start so far!
Best trainer! I love the combination of weights and kickboxing.
This guy really pushes you. If you want to be worked outside your comfort zone to see real results, check this personal trainer in Richardson out.
Lex is awesome! The training is great and he’s really good at keeping you going when your ready to give up!
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.
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. Great for newbie’s and experienced bodybuilders.
Awesome workout from an experienced personal trainer! The best right here in Richardson!
Lex’s program challenges you physically and mentally and is never boring. I saw results within 4 weeks and am getting stronger with every session. Definitely worth the investment.
Great work out! Mix of boxing, strength training and calisthenics!
Teaches how to properly lift and I leave every session stronger.
Guy's genuine, motivational, and an all-around good guy. If you need training, this is a good place to go, and affordable.
Just got started! Great guy who knows is stuff. Best prices in the area.
I chose Ronin Fitness because of the private sessions and happy I did. Coach Lex makes working out fun and makes every session more challenging. Excited for the journey :)
Normal, calm, and most importantly effective. Exactly what I was looking for.
Signed up for the one on one private training. Looked up local trainers in Richardson and was super happy with the one on one private training. Don’t have to worry about other people and get the personal attention for a full hour.
Best personal trainer in Richardson! Great mix of personal fitness and boxing/self defense
Great workout with personal training and personal attention by Ronin. Absolutely love the old school exercises and how he finishes up each workout with boxing
He's very responsive and reasonable. He is flexible on scheduling and keeps the overall goals in mind. Definitely and worth it workout, if your serious about getting in shape.
Just recently started his 4 month program and I like how he eases people who have been out of touch in the workout scene for a long time back in.
👍🏾
Lex’s 4 month program is the best program I have encountered in my 10 year “fitness journey”. I’ve tried every bogus diet/training fad and always ended up disappointed. I’m 5’4 and lost 18 lbs in 120 days - I was extremely happy with the results and it showed in my vacation photos! Thank you, Ronin Fitness of Richardson!!
Best experience I’ve had at a fitness center! Had a very welcoming and supportive community that motivated me towards my goals.
Lex caters to all fitness levels and goals. He is friendly and approachable, always ready to offer guidance and support. Ronin Fitness delivers results and I highly recommend training here.
Lex is the best!!!
Great gym
Love the true 1-1 training I get here! It’s like no other.
I was extremely nervous in meeting with a trainer for the first time & Lex despite the muscles is incredibly down to earth & I’m happy with my decision in moving forward with Ronin Fitness.
Great experience and great place! Lex is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend.
Great 1-on-1 training with comprehensive equipment and targeted results. Lex also gives you a handful of training tips and tools to utilize in your regular stand-alone workouts throughout the times of the week that you aren’t training together.
I've made great progress here in 2 months. Ronins gym was convenient for me, and the 1 on 1 sessions kept me on track
Coach Lex, here to save my day, health and sanity. The man knows his stuff and is teaching me so much.
👍🏻
Lex Ronin 100% knows his stuff!
Walked in for the first time and knew I was home. Old school equipment and old school attitude.
Great coach! Pushes me hard.
I was recommended to Lex by a current client and even though I have only trained with him a handful of time Im glad I signed up for a year. He has listened to my goals and kept me engaged with the workouts along with helping me set reasonable expectations for myself and my health overall!
My dude Lex is the real deal. Hes method get results quick! Never didnt enjoy coming in and working toward a common goal! Highly recomended!
Lex will help you work on your goals and be accountable for those results!
Great trainer, getting stronger each session
Outstanding old school gym!!! My clients love this place!!!
Lex is a very well rounded trainer with knowledge on everything from bodybuilding to self-defense and will keep you accountable the whole way. If you’re looking to become the best version of yourself, work with him.

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

He pushes me to the limit, and he is very professional
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
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.
Been training with Lex for about three months. Very happy with the results so far! Having a great time working out, especially the boxing.
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!
Lex is great, very patient, and allows your body to determine the speed. Two week and have already lost 15lbs
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.

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 🙌🙌🙌 Less
serious personal training here!
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!!
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!
After years of procrastinating of getting in shape I found Ronin Fitness and I'm glad I did. I've been able to learn a lot from the few workouts I've had and leaving everyone feeling accomplished.
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
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.
My glutes are looking way better! 😉
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.
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!
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.
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!
Great personal trainer gym. Lex is focused and has a great training plan
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.

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! Less
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.

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 Less
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!
Learn so much from Lex in fitness and martial arts!
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 🤘🏻
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.

Unprofessional & unresponsive.
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!
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.
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!
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!
My arms feel like jello, but I feel the knot where my triceps were worked hard today!!
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!
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
Great workouts! I always leave feeling good about the workout and ready to start my day. I love the old school approach and the time spent getting the basics down!
Best trainer in the safe area!!!
I have been training with Lex for the past five months. He referred me to the best nutritionist in Dallas and a chef that prepares amazing meals. He challenges me daily and makes training fun. Thanks to him, I'm getting the results I want.

After 5 years of sitting at a desk, stuffing myself on my corporate meal expense account, and generally just being your stereotypical couch potato I decided I had enough and decided to get back into shape.

I have been training with Lex for the past 4 months, and it been life changing. I have my health back, my diet (while not perfect) is clean. and Im getting the strength and definition back that I had in my early 20s.

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, cardio, & mobility. 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. . Less
