Jerry Challenges Younger Student on Towel Pull

Ron is good at what he does!  Because he truly believes in the value of physical fitness, his commitment and enthusiasm simply burst out of him.  He is committed to being totally up-to-date on the latest experiments, discoveries, and theories, but he doesn't chase new gimmicks just because they are new.  He has solid grounding in the physiology of exercise and health and applies that to the latest information.  He does an outstanding job of summarizing his findings for the Shape Up class to keep us growing.

In previous semesters under other instructors we tended to get into a comfortable rut.  It was a good rut, but it didn't challenge and stretch us.  Ron himself has developed tremendously during the semesters he has been with us.  He has moved from the rut he took over and, with increasing self-confidence and excitement, has grown to challenge both his students and himself to exercise in a more functional way and to grow toward overall good health.  He has an excitement to him that is catching.

One of his great gifts is that he is able to appeal to all ages and is able to comfortably encourage each person (whether 17 or 70) to work at his or her appropriate level and push to do a little more each day.  This is not easy to pull off in a class of such mixed ages and physical abilities, but Ron does it very smoothly and no one feels put down or embarrassed.  The fact that so many seniors have stuck with the class as he challenges us more and more and moves us out of our comfortable ruts is a tribute to how well he pulls it off.  I would say the same thing of the young, strong male students who are not put off by being in an exercise class with a bunch of seniors because they too are challenged and led by Ron to become more fit.

Ron Jones has become a very good teaching and a fine person.
