Originally from a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I spent most of my young life playing soccer competitively across the country. As I went off to college in Seattle, I decided to hang up the cleats in order to try something new. Group Fitness became my new passion! The energy and community of a group fitness class provided the canvas for me to explore my new career. After a year or so of teaching indoor cycle, as well as strength classes, I decided to pursue personal training. Personal training provided the long term commitment and individualized approach that I had been missing in Group Fitness. Over the course of the last four years, I have been learning, growing, and challenging myself to provide the best experience for my clients. With the help of some amazing mentors, I have finally found an approach that not only breeds success, but creates long-term motivation and confidence. While mentoring group fitness instructors is my full-time job, Health and Wellness Coaching is what I love to do and strive to continue. I am currently pursuing my Masters Degree in Sports and Exercise Science, with an emphasis in Health Coaching, at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. I hope to use my education to provide Health and Wellness Coaching full-time as a career.

Client Success Story

"I’m a fit, “close to 60” woman who wants to stay strong and grow old gracefully. I trained with Ben for about a year and realized early on in our relationship that his professionalism, incredible knowledge of his field and his contagious enthusiasm for what he does would be the perfect fit for me. I was never disappointed. Ben spent time getting to know me and my fitness needs. He showed up at every session ready, and more importantly, not afraid to teach, encourage and push me to new personal bests. He has extensive knowledge of and experience in weight training and I always felt safe on the floor. I wasn’t looking for someone to pat me on the back after each rep (although he’ll do that if you want!) but someone who would be attuned to my form, correct what I was doing wrong, and understand and respect my limits while pushing me - comfortably- beyond them. Ben is that and more. He is a personable guy and interesting conversationalist who makes whatever eye-roll worthy circuit he comes up with both challenging and enjoyable."
