About Ben

I grew up in Norwalk and now living in Stamford.  Leading up to college I've been fortunate with several influences in eating well, and finding myself active in all aspects of life.  I went to school for nutrition and sociology graduating from Southern CT state.  I got into the industry back in 2019 at a local YMCA with personal training.  Client after client I built up my repertoire working with the elderly, student athletes, beginners and bodybuilders.  All it takes is an ear to listen with to understand what people need and then we get it done with a flexible approach!


My favorite client story

After a few sessions and given homework, John, who I lucked out with living down the street (I lived in Fairfield at the time), 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.
