Ben, our co-founder, is an athletic performance specialist, strength & conditioning coach, personal trainer, and competitive bodybuilder. Ben completed his Bachelor's degree in Health Science at Oakland University in 2019. Seeking a further degree of advanced knowledge, he then pursued a Master's Degree in Exercise Science which he completed at OU in April 2021. Ben's career in personal training began with an internship in 2018 at Jax Fitness. From there, he began personal training at Oakland University in the Fall of 2018 for 1 year. Once his Master's program began, he started independently taking on clients at a local gym in the downtown Rochester area.

Ben's continuing education has progressed with completing the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) course, the most advanced third-party certification in the fitness field. He also completed a Performance Enhancement Specialization (PES) and became a Certified Athletic Development Specialist (CADS), giving him an even greater foundation of knowledge in what it takes to develop outstanding athletes. Since Ben's start in fitness, he has continued to stay active, lift weights, run 5k/10k road races and avidly competes in bodybuilding as a classic physique athlete within the NPC. 

Noah, our co-founder, is a retired member of the United States Army, licensed psychotherapist, competitive bodybuilder, personal trainer, and a sport & performance psychology coach. During his enlistment as an active duty infantryman, Noah was wounded in a combat zone leaving him with a significant back injury. The journey from being bed ridden to now a competitive bodybuilder is one he loves to share as it draws closely on the beneficial and transformative impacts sport & performance psychology can provide towards optimum performance and self-growth. Following the military, Noah gained his Bachelors degree from Oakland University majoring in Psychology focusing on holistic and integrative health. He then went on to gain his Masters from Oakland University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis on sport & performance. Noah has been closely connected to the fitness world for over 10 years professionally in both the mind and the body. Since gaining his licensure, Noah has focused within both lifestyle clients and amateur/professional athletic populations on performance and individual growth. Noah continues to gain his Cognitive Mental Performance Consulting certification through close work with Dr. Seth Swary, PhD, LLPC through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology.
