About The Coach

---

Coach Ronnie began his passion for Fitness from an early age, playing almost every sport he was exposed to starting at 5 years old playing tee ball and continuing through high school where he Varsity lettered in Football, Track and Soccer. After joining the Army out of high school, Ronnie made a prefession of Faith to Jesus and was baptised during basic combat training. Ronnie's time in the Army also helped him realize that he enjoyed helping his comrades increase their fitness level for the Military Physical Training test. After doing this for a while, he got his first Personal Trainer certification through AFAA at age 19 while he was on active military orders in South Korea. After serving overseas with tours also to Iraq, Ronnie founded "Body by Ronnie" while deployed and  finally set his sites on a more formal educational background upon return. As a  Born and Raised Floridian, there was only one choice for school...THE University of Florida! Ronnie's passion for Wellness and Jesus motivate him daily to use his spitrual gifts to help others reach the best version of themsleves: Physically, Spiritually and Mentally!
