Macario "Mac" Ramos (right) trains a female student at his gym in Elmhurst, IL. While fighters train around lunchtime, trainers such Mac have paying students in the afternoons and evenings, which include women and homemakers. Mac dedicated himself to mixed martial arts, in particular Muay Thai, so he could become a mixed martial arts fighter, and now a coach and trainer. He saved for many years so he could own Top Notch gym in Elmhurst, IL, where more than a dozen fighters train daily.
