My name is Ramon Salomon and I am the owner and founder of Your Gym on Wheels LLC. I have been working in the fitness industry for over 8 years. I truly love working with people and having the ability to change their lives in such a positive way. Training has given me the opportunity to do all of this and more!
I was born and raised by my mother and grandmother in La Romana, a small yet very beautiful city in the Dominican Republic. This was where my passion for an active lifestyle began because I used to play baseball everyday after school got out. This is also where my goal to help the people of the Hispanic community was born.
I have had many great moments in my life beginning with when I first came to the United States, this is a privilege that very few people have. I also have a great memory of trying out for the Mets at age sixteen and being invited to participate in their practice. In 2005 I competed in a Fitness Modeling Competition and I was ranked amongst the top 15 out of 50 competitors.
I started my fitness education at NECC in Haverhill, Massachusetts. I was first certified as a Personal Trainer through FRA. I furthered my fitness training through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, which is one of the best Personal Trainer Certifications you can carry. My training background includes many certifications including Pilates and Stretch Management.
I currently train both at home and in a gym setting. I hold group classes including Outdoor Boot Camp, Caribbean Rhythm and Group Circuit Training. I also train small groups of people “on the job,” in their work environment. During the summer and early Fall of 2006 I held a “Biggest Loser” contest in the city of Lawrence, MA. I had a goal to spread awareness within the city regarding living a healthy lifestyle. Based on this same goal , I currently have a radio show on 1110 AM, a local channel in the city of Lawrence. During the show I discuss fitness and health within the Hispanic community. I also hold a weekly
TV show on channel 8 in Lawrence, MA discussing these same issues.
