A Bit About Me

A health and fitness professional with 15 years experience. I have worked with individuals and groups developing strength and conditioning training programs. I assess your current levels of movement, motivation and lifestyle habits to tailor a health and fitness plan that will result in your success.

My career began in London working in several large health clubs. On relocation back to the Gold Coast, I began Chek 360 Fitness with home visits and training in local parks. Success came growth, and I opened up a training studio alongside a pilates business, which was successful for 10 years.

I decided on a career switch to education, which is where I have been for 8 dedicated years. Working with young students to teach them about healthy habits, movement and academics. With a renewed appetite for the health and fitness industry, I am looking forward to a new chapter back where my true love lies, helping others become the best version of themselves.

I trained with Ben for more than 5 years and it was easily the best training I have been part of, including seven years as a professional footballer. The variety in programming around strength, speed and endurance help me to continue to progress with my personal health and fitness goals. I was easily in the best shape under his guidance. Ben's technical knowledge around technique also kept me injury free for all of the time I trained under him. He knew exactly when to push, when to support and when to adapt training exercises or programs. Ben was also very good at creating an inclusive studio, getting everyone that trained in his group sessions engaged and working together.

I trained with Ben for 6 years and can honestly say I was in the best fitness shape of my life. With his training, motivation and accountability, I lost 12kgs and kept it off. He developed a progressive 12 week group training program, that incorporated an Endurance, Strength, and also a Speed and Power session every week. I really felt that this program focused on balancing out strengths and weaknesses, because I use to go to the gym and focus on the training I was good at and comfortable with doing. Ben really knew how to motivate people and push individuals to maximise their training effort. I absolutely loved the variety in exercises but more so the tweaking of training sessions. I felt h
