After serving four years in the Air Force Ron started work at the Vic Tanny Gyms, serving as a trainer and manager.

Ron shared a story of helping a guest with a workout one afternoon; his name was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

During this time Ron became known as “The Music Master of Muscle Beach” when he pioneered using the art of body building and music. Ron provided posing sound tracks for the biggest names in Venice Beach; Dave Draper, Frank Zane, Franco Colombo and Arnold Schwarzenegger. After a neck injury cut his own career short Ron applied his fitness knowledge in a new field, commercial exercise equipment sales.

Nothing teaches like experience and since 1983 Ron Haddad has worked with clients from a variety of markets; from hotels, multi-family developers and health clubs to personal trainers, active adult communities and employee wellness facilities.  When he’s not at his desk you might find Ron visiting old friends from “Gold’s Gym” or helping his church with a local charity.
