Ronnie Figueroa has not had an easy life full of confidence. However, in his fifties, after hitting rock-bottom, he made the conscious choice to break through his insecurities and challenges and transformed his life from the inside out. At 69, Ronnie stepped into the world of DEKA Strong, a high-intensity, 10-event fitness challenge under Spartan, and placed third in the world in his age group, all after years away from athletic competition. Now at 72, he is no longer on any medications and channels his energy into indoor rowing and senior athletics while dedicating his life to helping others heal through a four-fold way of life as a holistic therapist. After overcoming addiction, serious health challenges, and a near-death experience, Ronnie now teaches a powerful message: it’s never too late to believe in yourself, rebuild your life, and thrive.
