About
Tired of starting over, putting your health last, or working hard without seeing the results you deserve? You already know you need to make a change. The real question is what's been holding you back, and how do we finally change that? I'm Bennett Dahl, owner of Answers Not Excuses Fitness Training, and I've been helping people transform their bodies, improve their health, and regain their confidence since 2006. My approach is different because your circumstances, challenges, and goals are unique to YOU. Whether you want to lose body fat, build muscle, improve strength and mobility, or simply feel like the best version of yourself again, we start by understanding what's prevented you from getting there. I don't believe in cookie-cutter programs, unrealistic diets, or simply handing you workouts and hoping for the best. Instead, I provide personalized training designed around your goals, schedule, abilities, and limitations, along with practical nutrition guidance, lifestyle coaching, accountability, and ongoing support. Everything is delivered through an easy-to-use app with exercise demonstrations, form feedback, progress tracking, and regular adjustments to keep you moving forward. With 20 years of experience and over 174 five-star Google reviews, I've built my reputation on genuinely caring about my clients and helping them achieve lasting results. You don't need to be in shape to get started, and you certainly don't need to have everything figured out. You just need to be willing to make a change. If you're serious about investing in yourself and finally achieving the results you've been working toward, let's talk. You've already taken the time to look for help. Why stop now? Take the next step toward becoming the person you want to be. Real answers. Real results. What's your excuse?

I have several health issues that I am trying to work with. Bennett is very knowledgeable about the body and how we should approach this. He listens... I mean really really listens when you talk which is great, and maintains eye contact. He is also very down to earth. Not afraid to 'say it like it is' which happens to be pretty much the only kind of person that can get my attention. I just started working with him so I can't elaborate too much on his/my training, but I plan to write more later on.

This fitness training is by far the most knowledgeable training to fit my particular needs. I am able to work around my physical limitations to get to the muscles that need to be strengthened and stretched in order to decrease my limitations. It is a gift!!

Bennett excellent at his chosen profession and obviously an intelligent young man - asks really good questions about your life, profession, outlook on issues of the day, etc. - I'm an old guy (77) and can't do things like I used to do - he takes that into consideration in my training - I needed a catalyst (he's it!) to stay is some semblance of shape-goal is to see one of my grandkids graduate from college, get married and have some great grands. Drive On!

Bennett has been amazing! I am brand new to working out, and he has made taking the plunge much less intimidating. He coaches on everything from nutrition to lifestyle and does a great job of explaining why we're doing particular exercises a certain way. He plans each workout differently and always keeps things engaging. I can't recommend him enough.

Whether you are just starting out or a professional Bennett brings a ton of knowledge and experience to the table. I for one have NO IDEA what I'm doing and in desperate need of shedding 100+ lbs... He's never made me feel self conscious or foolish. We do things at my pace and he is always revamping my work outs to fit my needs/capabilities. I utilize both his online app and in person trainings and both are excellent quality. I genuinely feel an improvement in my ability after each work out. I I whole heartedly, highly recommend his services!
