I met Ben when I was at my all-time highest weight and my self-esteem was at an all-time low; hiring him was the best decision I have ever made regarding my health. He has coached me through the physical-and mental-journey of triple-digit weight loss-over 160 pounds so far. He makes exercise and healthy living approachable, and he has truly set me on a course toward enjoying my most fulfilling life!
