About A to B Fitness
About Me I specialize in in-home and mobile personal training for adults and older clients who want to get stronger, move better, and stay independent as they age. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve helped clients safely improve strength, balance, mobility, and confidence—without intimidating workouts or unnecessary strain. Training in your home removes barriers like crowded gyms, travel time, and discomfort. I bring the equipment, create a customized plan, and tailor every session to your body, goals, and any injuries or limitations. My focus is on real-world strength, joint health, fall prevention, and long-term results—not quick fixes. Many of my clients are returning to exercise after time off, managing chronic aches, or simply want to feel capable and confident in daily life again. Sessions are structured, safe, and progressive, with clear communication and accountability every step of the way. If you’re looking for an experienced trainer who understands longevity, safety, and consistency—and who comes to you—I’d be happy to help. What to Expect in Your Free First Session Your first session is free and focused on understanding your body, goals, and movement—not pushing you through a hard workout. During this session, we’ll: • Discuss your goals, health history, injuries, and any concerns • Assess basic movement, balance, mobility, and strength • Identify areas that need support to reduce pain and prevent injury • Talk through a realistic plan tailored to your home, schedule, and abilities • Answer any questions so you know exactly what training will look like moving forward There’s no pressure and no obligation. The goal is to make sure the training approach is a good fit and that you feel comfortable, confident, and informed before getting started.

Reviews
Ben did a 100% great job helping me get in better shape! He watched me closely, and chose appropriate exercises to get me stronger without injury. I’m 58, so my body has started to weaken with age and from lots of sitting. Working with Ben has proven that there is hope! I certainly enjoy feeling better and stronger!
Working with Ben to build greater strength and fitness has been an incredibly positive experience. Ben’s knowledge and expertise make each workout different and challenging and his personal integrity is reflected in his punctuality, professionalism and true concern for my fitness goals. At the end of each workout, I’m always impressed with how well the session-time is used. The strength I’ve gained after a few months of training has improved the quality of my life exponentially. I can without reservation, recommend Ben as an excellent trainer and a great human. I feel fortunate to have found him on Thumbtack!
I really enjoy working with Ben. He does a fantastic job adapting workouts to meet my limitations while pushing me just past my comfort level. With each session, I feel improvement in strength, balance and endurance. In addition to the personal training stuff, Ben is just a friendly guy and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a personal trainer.
Ben is a great trainer. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a training on their own terms. He tailors workouts to my specific needs while pushing me to make progress. He is very attentive to form and very communicative to make sure workouts and his coaching is exceeding expectations. He is always on time, always has a challenging workout is always professional. I look forward to our sessions and would highly recommend him.
Everything you’d want in a trainer. Punctual, professional, and always prepared. Ben comes with a whiteboard of exercise he expects to run though the sessions. There is variability within workouts and he’s always trying to incorporate new movements.
Ben has been very timely, professional and supportive in coaching my son. I was a bit nervous about setting up a personal trainer for him given he has had some bad experiences with prior coaches in school settings but Ben put him at ease right away and has been a big part of increasing his drive to get healthy and fit. He has provided a good balance of education, inspiration and encouragement. I cannot say enough good things about Ben's work so far. So glad we connected!
My husband and I have been trying to get healthier for the past year or so but mainly focusing on cardio/weight loss and not resistance/muscle training. Ben was very knowledgeable and helpful for our first real workout! He pushed us hard enough that we are definitely going to be sore but understood our limitations. He was also incredibly kind and patient answering all our questions. Highly recommend!!
Ben has been amazing. Pushing me in every workout. I love he is willing to take the workouts outside. He has listened to every concern I have with my PT and making sure we are doing the right exercises.
After 3 sessions, Ben has given me valuable information, answered all my questions, and given me great workouts that are perfect for my busy schedule and abilities. He’s challenged me well, encouraged me, responded quickly to my texts, and paid close attention to me every session. He’s been a great fit! I’m getting stronger and leaner/more fit, and having fun in the process. Ben is worth all the time and financial investment!
