Client of The Week: Ashley!

I began training with Ben back in March because I recognized the importance of having a dedicated support system when pursuing my goals. Personal Training has been instrumental in pushing me beyond my comfort zone.

My primary objectives were to build strength and enhance my confidence in exercising. I set out on this Personal Training journey with one clear goal in mind: I wanted more upper body strength. And let me tell you, I’m feeling so “lifted” by the progress I’ve made!

Well, my current goal is to achieve a “big big booty” – because, let’s face it, who doesn’t want that extra “umph” in their stride, right? I’ve recently fallen in love with lifting, something I’ve never really delved into before. It’s not just the physical changes I’m seeing, but also the newfound confidence I’ve gained. I mean, it’s like I’ve unlocked my inner superhero, one squat at a time!

Training with Ben is fun! I seriously look forward to every session with him. His approach is like a finely tuned GPS for my fitness journey. He knows exactly when to hit the gas and push me to the max, but he’s also got this magical “pivot” button for those days when I feel like a sloth in sneakers. Training with Ben is not just a workout; it’s an adventure in fun and fitness!

Ben is an absolute fitness guru.  He knows his stuff. I’m constantly learning new things from him. It’s like I’ve got this treasure trove of knowledge that I can sprinkle into my own fitness classes. So, thanks to Ben, I’m not only improving my own journey, but I’m also spreading the wisdom he’s passed on to me to help others on their fitness adventures! 

When it comes to training with Ben, several memories come to mind. However, one memory that truly stands out happened on a particularly tough day. I was on the verge of canceling our evening session because my day had been, to put it bluntly, pretty awful. Ben, being the incredible trainer he is, suggested that I come in anyway, but with a twist – he switched up our workout to a more rejuvenating, restorative style.
That session turned out to be exactly what I needed. If I had been on my own, I probably would have just headed home, but Ben’s guidance made all the difference. It made me realize that those are the moments that truly matter in our fitness journey. It’s easy to stay on track when everything is going well, but it’s during the tough times that maintaining our routine becomes critical. Ben’s support on that day was a game-changer, and it’s a testament to the incredible partnership we’ve built together.

ADVICE FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT TRYING PERSONAL TRAINING

Oh, without a doubt, my advice is: “Do it, and do it now!” 

As a fellow group trainer at Jada Blitz, I’m all for you showing up to our fantastic group classes. They’re a blast!  But if you’ve got specific goals or you’re ready to level up your fitness game, personal training is like adding extra sprinkles to your workout cupcake – it’s an absolute must!

I get it; you might be wondering about time and cost concerns. Here’s the scoop: find the time, shuffle things around if you have to, and cut costs elsewhere if needed. Why? Because the return on investment in yourself is priceless, and you’ll see those results rolling in. 

So, treat yourself like the VIP you are and invest in yourself – you’re worth every bit of it!
