Ranfone Training Systems - Hamden, Connecticut

Ranfone Training System is best-in-class when it comes to delivering highly effective training protocols for REAL people. This place changes lives.

Michael Ranfone doesn't give you a workout plan, he's writing a recipe that includes ingredients you already have on hand but don't know how to assemble. He know just the right amount of 'this' & the perfect amount of 'that' to create the outcome you have in mind - as long as your committed to following the plan. He's a master at making fitness an organic concept that moves along with the human experience, rather than allowing it to stay on a pedestal that only people with "perfect lives" can follow. He remains in lock-step with you through imperfect schedules, sickness, stressful periods at work, injuries, fitness fatigue... all of the normal life factors that require navigation in order to make committing to your wellness a core tenet.

Yes, he'll deliver a world class training program. Yes, he'll custom-tailor a nutrition plan that supports your goals. But the invaluable factor is his nimble response to YOU, the human... applying the right amount of pressure when you need it, and quickly being able to switch gears when life happens. Because of this, I know that there is a place for fitness in every season of life! Mike took me from an average working mom to a champion physique, and everywhere in between. His knowledge is profound, he is a delight to work with, and if you're ready to change your life for good - he's the guy to get you on that track. 11/10 recommend!!!!

This gym is amazing. The culture and level of training is next level. RTS is the future of next level training with extreme detail to specifics that no other gym has ever matched. If you want to make changes and really step up your game there is no other place to be.

RTS has been an amazing place to train and focus on my health. The coaches have been instrumental in my transformation. It all started on a HOT Friday afternoon in 2020, when Coach Corey and I had a heart to heart about going on the dark side. Coach Nick, who was first coach, taught me to have great form and technique. My current coach, Coach Geo, has been the driving force with my strength gains. A special shot out to Coach Trevor, who is always there when I need a spot. Thank you to Mike and the RTS family for the support over the last 3 years!!!

The singular reason I train with RTS. I knew who I had to become and I knew who I was becoming. As a fellow gym owner I didn’t have the necessary skills to run a successful operation. Discipline, focus, and attention to detail. I knew training with RTS would fix those. If I didn’t address those qualities it could have been bad news for the business. I’ve been able to feel and see results, physically and mentally. Not only has it taken my professional life to a different level, but it has made me a better husband and father.

My time at Ranfone has been a great experience. I joined postpartum looking to get back into an exercise routine, all of the coaches have been nothing short of supportive and encouraging. Having a routine to follow and coaches always available to help has allowed me to fall right back into the swing of things as well as see results quickly.

Trevor goes above and beyond in understanding my fitness aspirations, which revolve around feeling good and staying strong. His gives me workouts with the perfect balance – challenging enough to push me but are never intimidating. Trevor is warm, kind, and creates a comfortable space, making each session not only effective but also enjoyable. I am so proud of all that I have achieved while training at Ranfone with Trevor and look forward to many more achievements!

Prior to re-joining Ranfone Training Systems and beginning work with Andrew, the previous five years were spent as an above average amateur cyclist. Racing and riding all disciplines; Road,MTB, and Cyclo-cross. The hours spent on the bike training and racing left little time for maintaining and building back stability, overall strength and grip strength. In addition, a simple 3 hour training ride turned into a painful experience; one hour and a half into the ride, I was off the bike stretching to relieve the pain in my back. My inner coach told me where I needed to be: Ranfone Training Systems with coach Andrew.
RTS is out on the sharp end.The technique and training continues to be cutting edge. The young, skilled, athletes who are the coaches at RTS continue to bring a fresh perspective to the client and RTS. Also, my pain was understood quickly during my evaluation and the training was seamless as I alleviated the pain. Andrew, would check in with me as I progressed and I continued to give him a “Thumbs up”.
What is special and unique as I work with Andrew is his ability to understand the pain I was in and to address the issue through Strength Training, Flexibility and Cardio work. Its obvious Andrew understands my goals, weakness’ and bringing my pain under control. I leave the facility always feeling grateful and I have no pain as my body gets back in balance. Furthermore, my goals continue to be increasing my Life span and improving my health span and Exercise is the only tool to this end. Working with Andrew at RTS is for me, the perfect compliment to my above goals. Furthermore, I will continue to get on the bike, and rip it!
I believe RTS and their coaches want me strong. The approach is sincere and my training is under a guidance that is steeped in many years of knowledge and training. The coaches keep my form in check, which is so important. In addition, while I am training those around me are there for the same reason: GO HARD or GO HOME. 😉
In Summary, I will keep it simple; spend the money and Get after it at RTS. You will get strong safely and you will free yourself from any pain you may be experiencing.
BOOM! LFG!
