Ron Williams grew up in Indianapolis where his early life was very difficult due to abuse and abandonment. He defined himself as a “street kid” and developed a hardness that created a “me against the world” mentality. Ron said, “On the outside, I appeared to be normal, but on the inside, the pain controlled who I was and how I viewed life.” Sports became an outlet for Ron, and he was obsessed with being the best.

 

Ron enlisted in the Army when he was 18 years old and began competing in international sports for the Army including boxing, swimming, football, platform diving and track. Ron almost got kicked out of the Army because of fighting, but instead, a captain sent him to the boxing team to be whipped into shape. There, he found his athleticism and “Champion” mentality to be a gift. Eventually, his boxing coach encouraged him to try bodybuilding and he found that he had everything it took to excel in the sport.

 

Ron’s goal was to be the best bodybuilder in the world, and he quickly climbed the ladder after winning 1st place in his first teenage competition. He admits that he was initially attracted to bodybuilding because it was a place he could hide his shortcomings and insecurities.

 

However, after traveling to different competitions around the world, he began to find himself through his faith in God and over time he was able to deal with and overcome the emotions and challenges from his past. Ron was able to apply everything he learned from his early life, creating a duplicable process of overcoming and fueling what he does today. His life is now fulfilled by helping people physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
