I started training with Ben two years ago after a partial knee reconstruction. My only goal was to get my leg strong enough to go on a bucket list cycling holiday six months later. Not only did I get there, but I really enjoyed the trip, never doubting my knee was up to the work.

Now we're on a much bigger strength mission. For the last 18 months, we've focused on building strength and managing the muscle loss and strength challenges that come with post-menopause (no end date on that one!). Ben's real passion is strength training, and I really appreciate that he's taken the time to research the issues and tailor my training to my specific needs.

One of the things I notice when working with Ben is that he creates an environment where I feel safe to push way further than I think I can. For my 60th birthday, I deadlifted 60kg, something I never would have imagined a few years ago. Now I'm working towards a 100kg deadlift by the end of the year and, if you'd told me two years ago I'd be even considering that, I'd have said you were 'batshit crazy'. I'm a pretty average performer for most things, so this is extra special.

Ben has helped me realise, and I'm living proof, that getting older doesn't mean giving up on being strong. I'm definitely stronger now than I was in my 40s and 50s. I'm grateful for his knowledge, encouragement, and belief in what I can achieve.

I have been training with Ben for almost two years and can honestly say that making that first appointment was one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

Ben is a fantastic trainer who continues to teach me something new and challenge me every week. He is encouraging, supportive, and knows exactly how to push you to get the best out of yourself. I genuinely look forward to my weekly PT sessions, and together we make sure every session counts.

I am definitely seeing the results, with noticeable gains in strength and muscle, positive changes to my body and, perhaps most importantly, a growing confidence in myself.

Ben is driven, hardworking, motivated, and genuinely dedicated to what he does. He really cares about his clients and wants to see them succeed and achieve their goals.

I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for great guidance, motivation and, most importantly, results.
