Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Landon Bergenthal. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Landon, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?

In my journey as a young adult, I took time to contemplate how best to channel my education and experience for the betterment of those around me. My path as an athlete and seeker of a healthy lifestyle revealed a critical void: the absence of guidance. After the early loss of my father and growing up without a mentor, I often felt adrift and uncertain, much like a wanderer. During this period, the figure of the Ronin—a wandering, masterless samurai—resonated deeply with me. Like the Ronin, I pursued my ambitions without clear direction.

After nearly two decades of rigorous study in strength training, nutrition, and martial arts, I am now prepared to offer my guidance to those who find themselves similarly directionless. My experiences have fostered a deep empathy for those who need guidance, and I understand the importance of expert advice.

Thus, Ronin Academy was founded to provide unparalleled training from the most educated and experienced coaches, specializing in strength training, nutrition, and martial arts. In a world overflowing with information yet struggling with rising obesity and preventable diseases, the issue is not a lack of knowledge but a deficiency in direction and the willingness to invest in one’s own transformation. Ronin Academy is here to offer that direction and support you in making the necessary sacrifices for lasting success.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from San Diego State University, I began building the foundation for my career, earning the certifications needed to work professionally as a personal trainer. Over the next five years, I gained valuable experience working at large commercial gyms, learning both what works and what doesn’t. When my last employer closed its doors unexpectedly, I decided to take the next step and launch my own business. That decision allowed me to go full-time with Ronin Academy.

Ronin Academy provides private training, nutrition coaching, and online programming for clients of all experience and ability levels. We help clients navigate the often overwhelming process of improving their health with practical, evidence-based guidance.

What sets us apart is our focus on proven methods backed by years of experience. With a history of helping hundreds of clients achieve their goals, we deliver results that are sustainable and personalized to each individual.

We’re especially proud of the impact we’ve had on troubled youth and high-risk health populations. Even small adjustments can create significant changes, and we’ve seen firsthand how a shift in direction can lead to a better future.

At Ronin Academy, we value integrity, excellence, and lasting results. Our team of highly qualified professionals is dedicated to helping each client achieve meaningful, long-term success.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Since day one, my work has been driven by passion, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality service possible. When clients feel that dedication, they naturally want to share their experience with others. As a result, nearly all of my business has grown through referrals.

Clients choose to train with me because they trust me, enjoy the process, and most importantly, see real results. I’m fully transparent about the scope of my expertise and never hesitate to admit when something is outside my knowledge. At Ronin Academy, there’s no fine print, hidden agendas, or shady sales tactics—just honest, straightforward service. I value that kind of authenticity in others, and it’s the foundation of everything I do.

We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.

With every client, I’ve built relationships founded on trust and genuine connection. Over the years, these bonds have naturally extended beyond training sessions—I’ve been invited to weddings, graduations, sporting events, holiday gatherings, and more. Some clients have trained with me for nearly a decade, and our connection remains as strong as ever.

Even when clients relocate or continue their journey elsewhere, I make an effort to stay in touch, always ready to serve as a resource for their health and fitness needs. For me, the relationship doesn’t end when the sessions do—it’s about supporting their growth for the long haul.
