Ben Mescam Fitness

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Ben (and I will be back!) After getting Covid my fitness levels plummeted and walking hills and hiking seemed a thing of the past. Ben worked with me to rebuild my fitness to the point I am now back at 8-14 mile walks, sprinting up hills, and feel so much better mentally and physically. I look forward to my new found freedom that the increased fitness brings me, and also returning to Bootcamp - which was so much fun

Ben was not just a personal trainer, but a skilled coach who helped me understand and effectively utilize the tools needed to make lasting lifestyle changes. His guidance was invaluable in unraveling the patterns that used to lead me to self-sabotage when facing setbacks. What set him apart was his personable nature and ability to relate our experiences as parents. Through a combination of mindset shifts and gradual habit changes, Ben's consistent support has enabled me to steadily progress toward my goals, avoiding my historical pitfalls of starting strong but failing fast.

A 5 star personal trainer! I was completely in the dark about where to start to improve my health and fitness but working with Ben took all of the worry out of the equation. Even though we worked together online, he was able to give me a perfectly tailored program to get me started. I have gone from being stuck and nervous to confident and energised in the last 2 months. I would recommend Ben to anyone who is a new to the gym and wants support in any/all aspects of health and fitness. Thank you, Ben!

I've been running for about 17yrs and run to keep fit as well as having some ‘me time’ away from the hustle & bustle of daily life. A few months ago I found that my running had plateaued, with times and distances stalling, coupled with a niggling injury that made me feel very frustrated with my performance both in terms of time & distance. I realised I needed some help and reached out to Ben. Ben assessed my fitness and running ability and created a bespoke running training plan with incorporated runs of varying lengths & tempos & strength exercises. This change in approach has resulted in me being able to run 10k races (I’d been stuck at around 6k previously) & my times improving race on race - I have knocked over 3mins off my 10k race time so far... If you're looking to improve your running I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben as a Running Coach.

In the past I was obsessed with my fitness, especially cycling fitness. In recent years I have been distracted by work and other commitments, therefore my fitness has been on the decline. When Covid came along, I lost many good friends and my mother. None of them to Covid . During that period I also lost my mojo. My drive and my confidence had gone. After training with Ben, I now have my confidence back. Ben made me aware of what I needed to achieve my health and fitness goals. It is a long and slow process, but without Ben, I would not be on my journey to a healthy lifestyle. I would 100% recommend Ben to anyone who needs to improve their fitness, diet and attitude to life. I feel more positive about my fitness and know that it has to be dovetailed in to my daily routine. Wouldn’t have got there without Ben’ help. A big thank you.

Because I'm a vulnerable older adult I have health problems, I have been isolating since the start of lockdown. My mental health and physical health suffered, until I was invited to join Bens exercise classes. These are exercises that are designed for people with a variety of health issues. I really love my exercise classes, I look forward seeing other members plus it's fun. As well as my fitness levels improving my mental health has also improved I can only put that down to Ben making our exercise classes fun. Thank you Ben your doing a fantastic job.

Ben has been delivering online exercise classes via zoom. These exercise classes are really inclusive, bringing along a wide age range and ability. Ben makes exercise fun again, brining in a number of different scenarios that push you physically and make it enjoyable. These online exercise classes have been renewed three times due to the demand and enjoyment of all that attend. I highly recommend Ben for all of your fitness needs!

As an IT Support business, supporting other businesses to keep them up and running. It can lead to me working at various hours throughout the day and night. The work also involves me being seated for a long period of time. This means I don’t often get chance to go to the gym or do more active exercises. It also means that take outs can often seem the quicker and easier option for dinner than cooking. Working with Ben is absolutely brilliant. He took on board what my work life demanded and just started making small changes. Looking at slightly different food choices. Exercises I could do anywhere and just do small bouts between jobs. All providing me with improvements over what I was doing before. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ben to anybody looking to make improvements in their life for their health.
