Highly recommend Ronin Fitness! I was looking for a personal trainer, and thankfully this was the first and last place I will go to. The experience has been phenomenal from the start!
The gym is fantastic, and Lex is an outstanding personal trainer/coach. It truly is a one on one training experience since no one…

Ronin Fitness was my first and last stop for a personal trainer in Richardson. Came in for the intro session and left committed for the summer! Love the small gym vibes and the upbeat atmosphere! I really appreciate that Lex pushes me beyond what I ever thought my max could be. If you’re looking for a trainer, check him out!

Leaving the typical trainer in the gym situation and entering the private one on one personal training space has been a real game changer. Lex Ronin knows his stuff.
Highly recommend Ronin Fitness! I was looking for a personal trainer, and thankfully this was the first and last place I will go to. The experience has been phenomenal from the start!
The gym is fantastic, and Lex is an outstanding personal trainer/coach. It truly is a one on one training experience since no one else is in the gym during my sessions, which allows for a more personalized feel with zero distractions
Lex knows how to push me to work my hardest every workout while keeping the atmosphere motivating and positive. I just started and I can already see the value of training here. Looking forward to coming back!!

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.
