Mini bio
How it started.
Ronnie says he began lifting at 12 and kept training through school and college. At MetroFlex, owner Brian Dobson encouraged him to compete and offered him a free membership. Ronnie accepted, with Dobson becoming his mentor. He won the heavyweight and overall titles at the 1990 Mr. Texas in his first show.
The Olympia years.
His first Mr. Olympia victory came in 1998. He went on to win eight consecutive titles through 2005, tying Lee Haney’s record. MetroFlex remained central to his training story, including the 800-pound squat filmed for The Cost of Redemption in 2003.
Life beyond the stage.
Ronnie founded his supplement company in 2011. The 2018 documentary Ronnie Coleman: The King follows his career and life around further surgery. His official channel brings fans training footage, collaborations and recovery updates. In 2025, he launched Ronnie Strong after a near-fatal battle with sepsis, using his platform to support awareness.
