About
My focus is on giving every client a completely personalized experience based on their current fitness and life goals. I’ve been working as a trainer for the past 6 years and have been fortunate to help people from all walks of life, with all kinds of goals, reach their full potential.
To give you even more flexibility, I’ve teamed up with my friend and fellow coach, Fiona. Fiona brings 10+ years of experience in fitness and a background as a CrossFit coach and powerlifter, making her a great fit if you’re interested in strength training, Olympic lifting, or high-intensity conditioning. She’s available for clients who don’t fit my schedule and trains both at our studio and in clients’ homes.
Training options:
• In-studio: Private sessions with me or Fiona at Westside Fitness in Downtown West Seattle
• In-home: Personalized sessions in your own space with Fiona
We don’t offer refunds on paid sessions, but we’re always happy to offer pauses or Zoom alternatives if life gets in the way.
Customers rated this pro highly for work quality, professionalism, and responsiveness.

Personable, knowledgeable and great high school musical references. 10/10 would recommend even though I can’t walk this AM.

I’ve been training with Ben at my apartment gym, and it’s been a great experience so far. He’s friendly, approachable, and makes you feel comfortable right from the start. Ben pays close attention to form, tailoring each exercise to your ability, and shows genuine commitment to my goals by following up on both workouts and nutrition outside of sessions as well.
