FITNESS PROFESSIONALS

Hey everyone, my name is Ben, and I NASM certified personal trainer. I got introduced to the world of fitness when I started training 14 years old for Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling. Coming from such physically demanding sports I naturally gravitated to strength and hypertrophy training. After many years of training and learning, I have built a very strong knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics for building a stronger, healthier body. My personal training style focuses on increasing mobility and strengthening the body in full ranges of motion. No matter what fitness level you are at, you are capable of more than you think, and my goal is to help guide you on the way to your physical best and help you learn to love the process as much as the results.

As a personal trainer, my goal is to not only help anybody strengthen the body, but also allow the mind and soul a moment of peace. Everybody, no matter who they are, go through heartache and hurt that is incomparable to others. I want to open their eyes to the emotional and mental benefits that abound when taking the time to work on you, for you. I’ve learned first-hand how turning to self-work in the darkest of times can introduce stability and security in all aspects of life. With a CPT certification from NASM, my wish is to create an everlasting feeling of self love and accomplishment within any person.

I have been a Personal Trainer & Group Exercise Instructor since 1998. I have various fitness certifications including ACE Personal Trainer, AAAI/ISMA Personal Trainer, ACE Group Exercise, AFAA Group Exercise, AFAA Kickboxing Instructor, NASM Foundations, BBU Pilates Mat 1 Instructor, Resist-a-Ball Core Trainer, TRX Training Instructor, BOSU Trainer, Gliding Pro Instructor, UXF Small Group Trainer, Jillian Michaels Body Shred Instructor, and I’m CPR/AED Certified. I am also a certified Dance Instructor/Choreographer through DEA and have a Bachelor’s Degree from William Paterson University.

My background is in competitive gymnastics & dance. I’ve taught ballet, tap & jazz dance, as well as coached gymnastics for 8 years. Being personal trainer is truly a passion of mine, and I have found my experience as a dance & gymnastics teacher has helped give me a better understanding of fitness. I specialize in Women’s Fitness, but my 20+ years of experience helps me push my clients to achieve maximum results whether they’re a beginner or an elite athlete.

I graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Sports Science, where I was a Varsity soccer player.

As a competitive athlete, I know how important it is to build power and endurance in order to maximize performance on the field. My area of expertise as a trainer is to help young athletes excel. I am committed to helping you take your game to the next level by using a combination of strength and stamina building exercises. I enjoy getting to know each of my clients on a personal level, and will do everything in my power to help you achieve your personal fitness goals.

I am a certified personal trainer with vast experience with weight/strength training. I come from a background of sports including track, basketball and football. My journey through the ups and downs of fitness has taught me some of the most important lessons of my life and that's what I plan on passing down to anyone seeking personal training and fitness advice. I found a passion for fitness in 2017 and I haven't looked back since. My main focus is to provide the best experience possible when it comes to training others, hoping to drive them to the goals they see for themselves. I truly have a passion for helping others in any way I can while also making it an enjoyable experience as well.
