Fitness Philosophy
Anyone who trained with or been trained by Ben knows how completely committed he is to fitness, it’s not just his hobby, but truly his way of life and he brings enormous enthusiasm, passion and encouragement to every single training session.
He believes scales and measuring tapes are a waste of time. Instead concentrate on achieving more in your max set of push-ups, chin-ups a faster 2k row, a better Diane or Fran time.
Train to get better and you’ll look and feel great plus reach your peak performance levels, levels that you wouldn’t believe possible before walking in our doors.
