Ben is the best trainer I’ve had. He knows his stuff and his approach will definitely get you to your goals seamlessly. This is my third trainer and the first to help me understand the mistakes I made through previous diet and exercise attempts. Once you’ve experienced training with Ben, you’ll never need or want another trainer Bonus: he has no problem educating you so you’ll no longer need him too

Prior to meeting Ben I had been training regularly for 3 years with hopes that I would achieve my desired look and one day compete, but I was just not getting the results I needed. After meeting Ben and working with him for only 5 weeks now, I can say he knows his stuff! Ben's experience in fitness training and nutrition is key and he knows which tools to use to get the results you want! I like the push and drive to excel that I receive each time I train with him and I can already see the growth that I have been wanting since I started.

First, I’m amazed and proud of my results already! One of those results is discipline. When I train with Ben I feel like I’m really getting the results that I want. I’ve lost 2lbs in two weeks so far! I can’t wait to see my end results! Maybe one day I’ll be able to compete with the best in the world 💪🏾!

Did my initial consult with Ben last week and left very impressed with the facilities, his breadth of knowledge and experience. He knew his stuff...from nutrition, training, injury prevention, etc. Plus his genuine demeanor towards helping me achieve my goals was a great motivator/confidence boost. Top notch! Looking forward to beginning our sessions.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with a detailed fitness consult to get to know the new client and what injuries or prior setbacks they may have experienced when working with a personal trainer. From there I grow and nurture an open and honest relationship with the client so that we are both giving our best efforts to the tasks at hand.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was always into fitness and always found myself answering questions in the gym, so I studied and got certified. I was always wanting to know more about the proper way to train and I love helping others.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with and trained the entire spectrum of customers, from expecting mothers, to boxing champions. From diabetic customers with eating disorders, to college and professional athletes. Our goal is to provide a much needed service to all that trusts us with their fitness and health.
