Why Personal Training

Take your workouts to the next level with certified personal trainers.

What Personal Training Can Do For You

Our certified Fitness Professionals can, quite literally, help change your life and how you view yourself.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, tone your physique, train for sports competition or recover from injury, our trainers can provide the plan, coaching and motivation to get you there.

Building A Personal Roadmap

Starting with your FREE consultation, your Fit Pro reviews your medical and exercise history, clarifies your goals, tests your strength, endurance and flexibility and recommends a customized workout plan.

From there, you have options - working one-on-one with your trainer on a regular basis, following a recommended routine with occasional check-ins or taking part in specialty classes like our Boot Camp 101.

Mission

Ben, originally from Bangor, Maine and now living in Biddeford, has a strong belief in the remedy of fitness and his determination to help others obtain their goals. He has a laid back personality and loves to have fun while getting the job done.

Ben hopes to find the competitive side in everyone in order to push through a workout. "Even though working out is not a race against time or the person next to you, it can certainly help to challenge yourself from within and inspire those around you through your enthusiasm and determination."

Education

Ben has a B.S. in Applied Exercise Science from the University of New England. He also holds his certification as a Strength and Conditioning Coach through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. He attends multiple seminars and presentations throughout the year and reads up on professional resources to keep him at the cutting edge of the fitness world.

Experience

His graduation from the University of New England with a B.S. in Applied Exercise Science has given him fresh knowledge of exercise and fitness and the eagerness to apply it. During his education he interned as an assistant track coach for Biddeford High School as well as a fitness intern at the University of Maine, Orono Recreation Center. He also attended several conferences and seminars to assure his ongoing education in the fitness field and plans to continue such attendance throughout his career.

Interests

Ben enjoys activities like camping, swimming, running, rollerblading and biking and has climbed Mt. Katahdin 5 times in the past 6 years. He is an active participant in the Tough Mudder adventure races in Vermont in which he undergoes a 10 mile, 26 obstacle course up and down Mt. Snowe. From years of exercising outside, in his room or during his employment at Hannaford, he likes to find creative and unorthodox methods of exercise using his surroundings.
