Ron Primerano
Ron Primerano is the promoter of the NPC Western New York Championships and a respected figure in the Northeast bodybuilding scene. A lifelong athlete, certified trainer, coach, and entrepreneur, Ron has dedicated his career to transforming lives through fitness, discipline, and purpose-driven coaching.
After a successful athletic venture in football, basketball, track & field, and hockey — including two collegiate sports — Ron discovered bodybuilding at 23 and never looked back. He earned his degree in Business Administration from SUNY Fredonia and went on to win titles including NPC Tri-State Overall Champion (2009) and the Mr. Buffalo (2011). His success on stage laid the foundation for his life’s work as a coach and community leader.
Primerano Fitness & Coaching Legacy
In 2011, Ron opened Primerano Fitness in Niagara Falls, NY. It was a vision that was built on vision, grit, and over 15 years of preparation. Located in the same plaza where he once bought his first gym membership as a teen, the facility is now known for its top-tier equipment, elite coaching, and inspirational atmosphere.
Ron and his team have trained and transformed nearly 2,000 clients, including 250-300 competitive athletes each year ranging from first-time amateurs to IFBB pros. Today, he lives in North Tonawanda with his wife Crystal (Mrs. Buffalo 2007) and their six children, and continues to lead with the same passion, focus, and championship mindset that built his legacy. For Ron, fitness isn’t a job. It’s a lifelong calling.
The Western New York Championships is an extension of that calling — a stage created not just to showcase elite physiques, but to celebrate the discipline, growth, and grit that define every athlete’s journey.
