About Ben
Norwalk native livng in Fairfield! Growing up I had several influences that kept me exercising and leading me in the right direction of nutrition to build my performance in sports like baseball, rugby and soccer. With those factors, I got into personal training to be able to help those in need to perform their best and prevent injury.
Within the 5 years of personal training after colllege, I started as a personal trainer at a local YMCA falling in love with helping people, encouraging a safe environment. This included athletes preparing for their sports season/in season conditioning, clients with restrictied shoulder ability, scoleosis and others looking for strength training and mobility work. I also got into coacing for Orangetheory to gain more experience for whatever else came down the line.
A typical session always begins with a warm up, then we structure a few exercises to assess what we are getting done for the day and finisher/cool down to send you on your way. Of coure we'll be conversing throughout to build comfortbility and communication. As we progress we'll be experiencing more and more challenges to upgrade your routine!
My favorite client story
After a few sessions and given homework, John, who I lucked out with living down the street, never used to do exercise on his own since his younger days. When reintroducing him back to jumping jacks and step ups with other simple exercise, he gets thrilled every time I come by to remind me "Hey, you'd be proud...I got my jumping jacks done this morning" and his wife would go with a laugh, "no he didn't" and he'd shoot back, "don't be jealous just because he's my trainer." Always a great time with john. It means we've created a positive and safe environment for his fitness.
My favorite exercise
Single balance any exercise (overhead press/bicep curl/front raise) because balance is something everyone lacks and challenges a lot of muscles very quickly. This will require more than 10 consecutive seconds ;), which has been from studies that adds a year or 2 to your life.
My favorite quote
"hey man, if it was easy, everyone would do it"
My training philosophy
Consistency conquers everything. All starting with nutrition.
My training experience
started as a trainer at a YMCA training athletes to the elder population and people just looking for simple exercise, mixing in Orangetheory coaching a few months after. Soon I developed private clients through word of mouth and social media.
