I have had other trainers previously but Ron is amazing! In just 6 weeks I was feeling the difference and even receiving compliments from friends and even strangers! Always on time, easy to work with, communicates quickly and professionally and tracks everything you do together in great detail! If you want a trainer who knows their stuff and he ya results you found Ron! I compete at high levels of sports and he knows his stuff! Well worth the time and money.

DenlingerFitness is a great place to train. Ron is very attentive when it comes to his students and makes sure their form and their type of training is the right fit individually. After all, everyone learns in different ways! It took me awhile to find the right place and when I tried DenlingerFitness I knew it was the right fit for me. Whatever your looking for Ron has a broad knowledge of combat experience, weight loss, self defense, etc. If you enjoy putting in the work, creating new goals, having someone who cares, is attentive, and makes training hard but also fun for whatever your goals are DenlingerFitness is the place to be!!

Ron is AWESOME!! I’m just in my first week of training (both with him AND ever) and I’m already feeling a difference! Ron does an amazing job of distracting me from the difficulty of starting to exercise after , either with questions about things I’ve mentioned to him or stories from his travels and experiences. At the same time, he’s very respectful of my limitations and never judges me or makes me feel bad for needing to slow down or take a break. His positive, encouraging attitude and genuine enthusiasm for helping his clients shines through in every interaction. It’s a pleasure to work with him and I can’t wait to see where my journey with him takes me!!

I highly recommend Ron for anyone interested in Krav-Maga. His expertise and approach to teaching are unmatched. Ron’s professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail in each lesson have not only accelerated my learning but also provided immense value beyond just self-defense skills. His classes are well-structured, focusing on both the fundamentals and more complex techniques, making them suitable for any skill level. Training with Ron has boosted my confidence, discipline, and awareness, and the quality of his lessons make them a worthwhile investment for personal growth and safety.
