Meet the Owners
My name is Ron Primerano and I have been changing lives now for over 9 years. I have a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from State University of New York at Fredonia as well as a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Sports Nutritionist. Most importantly, I have real life experience having trained, consulted, coached and changed the lives of nearly 2000 people and that number continues to grow.
The Beginning
Born in 1982 in Lewiston, NY I have lived in Niagara County my entire life besides attending SUNY Fredonia College. A four sport athlete in high school excelling in football, basketball, track & field, and hockey all at the varsity level. A 2 sport athlete in College excelling in Track & Field and Hockey. My Personal Training career started at the age of 20 yrs old, and bodybuilding at 23 yrs old. It was my passion from the beginning. I wrote down my goals and never looked back! Upon graduation in 2004, I moved back to my home town of Niagara Falls, NY.
The Next Chapter
December 19, 2011 was when my life long dream became a reality. Primerano Fitness Inc. opened for business and I never looked back. The most advanced Personal Training Team, the finest equipment the industry has to offer and the cleanest and most upbeat environment in WNY GUARANTEED! We are conveniently located on Military Rd (Wegmans Plaza) in Niagara Falls, NY. This very building is where I bought my first gym membership in 1995 so its still surreal to me to open everyday at 5am as the owner. I am very proud of my family and my business and this facility offers both a welcoming atmosphere and the most results driven approach to fitness imaginable. Its exactly how I envisioned it the past 15 years. Ihave now shifted my focus towards coaching after winning several overall titles and numerous class victories. I currently train 50-60 IFBB, national and amateur level competitors on a yearly basis. I look forward to servicing the local community for many years to come.
At the present time I reside in the North Tonawanda with my beautiful wife, Crystal (Mrs.. Buffalo 2007), who has played a vital role in all my successes and my three beautiful children Alexa, Ronnie Jr, and Brayden.
Personal Training is something that I love and has and always will be my life as a professional. My team and I change lives permanently and look forward to every opportunity to produce our next success story...

Ron's Routine at Rochester NPC 2012
Since 2002 I have worked along side my husband Ron as a Certified Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist. I also have over 10 years experience as a group fitness instructor. After winning Ms. Buffalo in 2007 I had already accomplished much of what I set out to do in the sport and decided to take my long anticipated step into motherhood. Ron and I now have 2 beautiful children, Alexa and Ronnie Jr. That left one last personal goal of mine I now had a chance to accomplish and that was to prepare/train with my husband and compete in the same show together. We competed together in June 2012, less than 14 months after our 2nd child was born. For now, I am retired :) Im excited to focus on growing our family larger and being a part of the best Fitness Center in WNY, Primerano Fitness! With most of my time occupied, I make myself available 3-4 days per week to service my clients and offer all the knowledge I have worked so hard to obtain over the years. What we offer at our health club is truly an environment where every members goals are considered and we work diligently to provide a clean, motivating and friendly environment so those goals will be obtained. Our entire family is behind this operation so we care about every member. If you would like to meet me and find out how I can make your fitness journey a new lifestyle for you and guarantee you the results you deserve please contact me.
My name is Gus Nienburg. I have been a personal trainer for Ron Primerano Personal Training for over a year now. In this experience I have success in training everyone from young athletes and Division 1 college athletes to the elderly and everything in- between. More importantly, I have been training with and learning the philosophies of my older brother and owner, Ron Primerano, my entire life. I am a certified personal trainer through ISFTA and studied exercise science at NCCC.II grew up in Niagara Falls, NY and graduated from Niagara Falls High School. I competed in many sports growing up and made the transition to the gym, committing my life to fitness at a young age. I am currently training to compete in the sport of body building , but my primary focus is changing the lives of others. I love what I do.
It has been 6 years now since I joined my brother Ron and personal training powerhouse Ron Primerano Personal Training. This opportunity to show the fitness community what I have to offer has been very rewarding thus far and the best is yet to come. We exploded to the top of the competitive scene in the NPC, NMA and WNBF all while staying focused on what this business is really about and that's changing peoples lives. Our recent transition to the new facility on Military Rd in Niagara Falls, Primerano Fitness Inc. has given us the opportunity to expand tremendously. In this business it's more than a job, it’s a passion, you must truly enjoy helping, encouraging, and motivating others to be the best they can be! Along with being a very busy and demanding personal trainer, I am also a competitive body builder just recently winning my first overall title at the 2012 Mr. Buffalo Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships. I live life by never being content…"Once one becomes content, motivation is lost"... I like to stay very busy at all times, days start very early and end very late..I wouldn't have it any other way!

My name is Christa Ciccone and I am excited about being a new member of the Primerano Personal Training Team. I have a BS in Biology-Chemistry and a MS in Education. I have been teaching at the high school and university level for sixteen years. My training with Ron began 6 years ago. At that time, I weighed almost 200 pounds. I never thought I would be where I am today, being totally transformed, both mentally and physically. Through the guidance, knowledge and patience of Ron and his team members, I won the title of Olympus Fit Body Overall Champion 2012 and NYS Natural Overall Figure Champion 2012 in my first 2 shows. I also hold the NYS Women’s bench press record in the masters division. Being an educator and having undergone my own weight loss transformation, becoming an IFA certified personal trainer seems to be a natural progression for me. I hope to help others obtain all the benefits that come with eating healthy and personal training.
Hello, my name is Dawn King and I recently joined the Primerano Fitness Personal Training Team. I have always had a strong dedication to personal fitness and have continued to expand my knowledge and abilities through years of guidance and mentoring by Ron and his staff. During this time, I have learned that the proper balance of fitness and nutrition is essential to maintaining a positive lifestyle. As such, both my family & I have incorporated fitness and healthy living into our daily lives.
As a wife and mother of 3 children, I can appreciate the challenges that life can bring. I feel strongly that fitness and nutrition should be an important part of all our lives and we should not overlook the positive impacts that will come. Fitness and nutrition is not only important to me, but also to my family members who are active in weight training, hockey, lacrosse, gymnastics, and dance.
As an IFA certified personal trainer, my goal is to utilize my knowledge and personal experiences to support you in reaching your goals. I will guide and support you as we work together to make your efforts a success.
