Ben is a Wantirna personal trainer. Ben has played basketball for over 6 years before moving into playing AFL football. He played for the Belgrave basketball club and the Upwey Tecoma Football club winning 3 grand finals in each sport and progressing to play with the Melbourne Tigers Junior team. In 2007 he suffered from an injury which kept him out of training and gave him an opportunity to take a break.
After high-school, Ben completed a Film and TV course for 2 years but at the end of it he realised he loved fitness more. His love for fitness developed through his countless hours in sports training and his career in fitness began from there. Ben continues to train and be active in sports while continuing his career as a personal trainer.
Training Style & Influences
I start off assessing prior injuries and overall fitness. I then set up a specific program tailored to the client's needs, using a variety of approaches to exercise. These include strength & conditioning training, building strength and muscle gain, cardio sessions, small group circuit training, sports-specific training (eg upper/lower splits, endurance training and rehab focused exercises).
