In 2003, Ron secured his first job in personal training with Bally Total Fitness’s elite gym, Gorilla Sports. 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 Gorilla Sports Clubs across the country and assigned each trainer a client in their respective gym and market. The goal was to see which client could lose the most weight and body fat percentage over a 6 week time-frame. There was an additional incentive – the client that lost the most body fat percentage won $5,000. Training out at Gorilla Sports in Lincoln Park, Ron and his client took FIRST PLACE! They were featured in the June 2003 issue of FHM Magazine. Matt began the contest with a body fat of 21% and finished with 10%. He also lost 30 pounds.
