Ronson Frank
Co-Founder & head Trainer
Former New York State and NBA light heavyweight champion with an undefeated pro record of 18-0. Turned professional in 2005. Worked as a personal trainer for 17 years with professional fighters and also high-end clients. Continued my involvement in boxing, now at a promotional level, being the CEO of a boxing promotional company named Uprising Promotions that's based out of New York, and we promote all around the world and have over 20 professional fights signed under the promotion company.
I believe in a holistic approach that balances high-intensity boxing drills with sound strength and conditioning practices.
My core principles include:
Technique First: Proper form maximizes results and minimizes risk.
Individualized Programming: No two bodies—or goals—are the same. I tailor every workout to align with each client’s fitness level, injury history, and aspirations.
Progressive Challenge: I structure training cycles that build stamina, power, and skill over time, celebrating small wins along the way.
Mind–Body Connection: Boxing demands mental focus as much as physical prowess. I incorporate mindfulness and visualization techniques to elevate performance.
