Trust me, your fitness journey will be in excellent hands!Thank you, Ben!

Coming from a position of almost total inactivity during the COVID lockdowns, my body was feeling lethargic and injury prone, and I was scared to start any sort of physical practice.Ben started from the beginning, meeting me where I was at, and helped me not just develop my physical strength over weekly sessions, but add more activity in my daily life.It doesn't seem to matter where you are at in your fitness journey - Ben can help you grow.The group classes are non-judgemental and everyone is so friendly! They are also really interesting and we do something different each week!Absolutely surprised by how much strength I have developed in under a year!!

If you aren’t happy with the current state of your body, you have to go see Ben. You will not find a better movement teacher on the Central Coast. He will teach you how to develop a healthy relationship with the body, how to move in ways you never thought possible, how to get unimaginably strong and mobile, and how to have fun while doing it. Ben is warm, kind, giving, passionate, insightful, intelligent, funny and genuinely caring. He puts EVERYTHING into his work. You won’t regret visiting his studio, joining his community and learning how to move (again) under his guidance.

I was a high level personal trainer, coach and mentor for trainers for 10years, I know what quality is. It was my job to seek out and hire these people. The reason I chose Ben as my coach, and trusted his lead, was because moving pain free and feeling incredible about my progress mentally and physically is everything. The key to a better quality of life. Ben creates the environment and provides the direction & accountability for this. I deeply and thoroughly enjoy the self discovery and transformation each practice.

I have known Ben for over a year now, and he has continually been giving me new knowledge, advice and food for thought; concerning fitness and movement, but also just for life. I first had a class with Ben for lower back pain. Within just one session, I saw a real, noticeable improvement. After doing the exercises he prescribed me, my back pain completely disappeared.Ben is a very kind and helpful individual who is passionate about his practice. I would highly recommend him to anyone on the coast looking to improve their life by incorporating weekly movement practices into their life.
