Ron Sarchian is a certified fitness trainer and spinning instructor with a background in boxing and kickboxing. Breaking World Records is Ron’s way of honoring the lives of his parents. His father, Archie Sarchian, was stricken by testicular cancer as a young man and died at the age of 33. Ron’s mother, Mary Jane Sarchian, was left to raise him alone. 'MJ' taught Ron to believe in himself and to believe that he could do anything in this world that he set his mind to.
Honor and Inspiration
Upon reaching his 40th birthday, Ron committed to a unique and powerful way to honor his parents – the mother to whom he is so very close and the father he barely knew. He broke 4 World Records in 4 consecutive years, and used the events to raise money for LiveSTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which unites people to fight cancer. Ron’s parents provided him with the motivation he used to break his World Records, as well as the motivation he uses to push ahead and complete his ongoing quest for world record excellence.
