Hail to the QUEEN!
Think “Pudgy Stockton” sounds funny? She was a powerhouse. Abbye “Pudgy” Stockton was a strongwoman and pioneer of women’s fitness in the 1940s. At 5’2″ and just about 115 lbs, she once balanced her husband Les (180+ lbs) overhead in a handstand—on her hands. She also wrote a women’s training column called Barbelles in Strength […]
a 300 year old Trend..
The Long History of Kettlebells and Swinging Weights Think kettlebells are new? Nope. The earliest use of the Russian kettlebell dates back to around 1703. But ballistic weight swinging isn’t even confined to Russia. Why all this history talk? Because “Old School” doesn’t mean rusty weights and 80s rock. It means being grounded in proven […]

Affiliate marketing is a colossal waste of time if you only use a handful of products to begin with. Since I’m not going to start selling “protein cookies” and vegan liver cleanses anytime soon, I might as well just talk about the same products I was only going to talk about anyway. No side hustle […]

New York State of Mind
Thinking back to last year with the future Mrs. Ronin at the Trump Hotel. They actually have a pretty solid gym there. Right after this picture was taken, we went outside and had a funny little run-in with a protester. Definitely made for a memorable trip! At Ronin Fitness of Richardson, I help clients build […]
All of our clients are 100% Free Range Humans
I have a great job. I get to bring my dog to work, lift weights with fun people, play my KISS records loud, walk around barefoot, and even take naps on the floor when things are slow. Pretty much, I get to be a free-range human. It’s a great environment to work in—and an even […]
Different Ways to Win
Did I Give 100% or Did I just get Lucky? People compete in the physique arts (bodybuilding, classic, figure, etc.) for many different reasons. This is the part where I’m supposed to talk about “playing to win,” but to be honest, I’ve always been freakishly disinterested in people around me unless I actually know them. […]

This is the most dangerous time of year for putting on weight—the very moment Halloween candy hits the shelves. And for some reason, Monster Cereals have arrived in stores in early AUGUST.
