His approach is hands-on, science-backed, and focused on building strength, resilience, and confidence. At The Fix PT and Fitness, Ben is committed to giving clients direct access to expert care without the red tape- because your health shouldn’t come with a waiting period. 

Outside the clinic, you’ll find Ben staying active with his family, lifting weights, reading or coaching. His many passions include Baseball, High Jump, Long Jump and 400m runners. He finds time for these while constantly learning new ways to help people move and perform at their best!
