Hi I'm Benjamin, commonly referred by "Benji." I've always been a care taker and want to help people not just physically but how they feel internally. I realized early on that medical school wasn't for me, so I started my own personal training business which allows me the freedom to accompany my clients schedule and flexibility. Establishing personal relationships that will last for a lifetime is what drives me and fuels my passion for the health and fitness industry. Being able to see my client's results and transformation is the cherry on top.

I work with a wide range of clients from different fitness backgrounds. My specialty is Senior Citizens with an emphasis on injury prevention and corrective exercises such as static and dynamic movements.

I offer individualized personal training at home or area of your choice. I offer bundles of sessions you can choose from for in home, couples and virtual training. In addition, I offer advanced stretching as well as nutrition coaching & customized meal plans. Ultimately, it depends on what your goals and needs and how often we meet.

My favorite client story

"My family and friends are astounded to my transformation in just a short time. Before I started training with Benji, I had deteriorated into a couch potato, finding myself in the worst condition of my life. I had trouble standing and walking, even with a cane. I had no stamina. At 90 years of age, I was resigned to a life in a chair. I use an electric scooter to get around. I kept seeing Benji's truck parked outside the Stella workout room. I wondered, was it possible to improve my situation if Benji would train me? So I talked to him, and he readily took me on. Today, just weeks later, I pop out of my chair, feel great, and I truly feel like a new man. I have plenty of stamina and strength. I look forward to each workout, as they continue building strength, muscle, and stamina. Thank you Benji!!"

My favorite exercise

I like to say that life is just a series of squats. You squat to get on and off of the toilet and up and down from the couch. Squats are the most functional exercise I can think of. Plus, they’re infinitely modifiable. One of my favorite variations, especially for runners, is the single-leg squat because it builds strength in the glutes and quads while increasing lower body and core stability.

My favorite quote

"Stay committed on your decisions, but stay flexible on your approach."

My training philosophy

The Benefitnessnow transformation process will change your life and help you achieve the body of your dreams. You're never too old or too young to achieve the results you've been searching for.

My training experience

I have studied Kinesiology with the intention of becoming a Chiropractor. After over a year of medical school I realized that I wanted to work with a full range of clients and decided to become a personal trainer.

With a degree in Kinesiology and Health, I worked as an independent trainer out at a privately owned fitness facility called The Flex. For the last 2 years, I've worked in a commercial facility primarily with injury rehabilitation and holistic medicine.

With my programs, I focus on achieving absolute health for my clients through personalized nutrition, and a strength and conditioning program individually tailored to their needs. They range from long term weight loss to rehabilitation for injury, building muscle to athletic performance.
