About Ben

Ben is a driven and ambitious young trainer, his diligence rewarded by earning a finalist nod for New Zealand’s Best Up & Coming PT, in only his first year in the industry. 

Ben went to University in Otago for a degree in business, majoring in Management and Marketing, which he completed in 2021. 

After an epilepsy diagnosis in 2020, Ben found a passion form in the gym, as training became a useful teacher in how to regain his sense of self. 

Over the last few years Ben has continued diligently in furthering his education. Having dealt with years of his own back problems (Kyphosis), Ben’s found a passion and knack for rehabilitation, and empowering his clients to reach their true ability. 

His understanding of biomechanics, the relationship between mind and body, and empathy for the person in front of him combine for a trainer that can truly be at your service
