Introduction

My name is Ben Maughan and I have over 24 years experience in fitness instruction. I am a former overweight kid who has changed his own life. I have helped many people lose 15lbs to 100lbs and more. I have a client who recently hit the 200lbs mark. I have worked at Equinox in Westwood and Gold's Gym in Hollywood. I also train high profile clients at their homes, offices and on set. I am certified in Personal Training (AFAA), Yoga and Spin (YAS fitness studios), Swim (YMCA), Nutrition (AFPA), kettlebells and TRX. I have experience in crossfit, martial arts, and boxing, and teach those disciplines as well. I ran bootcamps throughout Los Angeles with West LA Bootcamps (which I formerly owned). I have provided online personal training and nutrition plans globally with FitOrbit (Body By Jake) and now provide my own custom online training and diet plans to clients all over. I am fully certified and insured. I have a lot of knowledge, energy and experience with all types of fitness equipment. I'm a true professional and I'm interested in speaking to you further. My sessions are one hour in length. 5-10 min is dedicated to warming up and stretching. I then take you through the workout. My system is circuit based. I gradually build a new clients strength and stamina into eventual 4-6 exercise circuits. Abs complete the circuit. We up the rounds until I eventually have my regular clients working non-stop for the full hour with limited breaks every 10 minutes or so. Lets get to work.

Ben is a real pro! His knowledge of Kinesiology, training techniques and nutrition is amazing! He gets you results without injury and he always shows up on time. Ben has been my personal trainer for about 18 months. Thanks Ben!! Tom O Hollywood Hills

Ben was my trainer for over 5 years. In that time, my body was transformed in a way it had never been before. Not only did I get "guns" and "abs", I built endurance and strength with Ben's comprehensive workouts - that included kickboxing among other strenuous routines. Thanks to Ben, I was able to complete two triathalons - something I never imagined attempting, let alone completing. It's important to add that Ben is a great guy and extremely professional. I enjoyed my workouts in part, because it was nice to spend time with him - while he persistently guided me through a challenging - and results driven workout. I highly recommend Ben as a personal trainer. Quite simply, he's the best!

Ben is terrific. He is really thoughtful in how he trains. He is incredibly focused during the training. He is cued into applying the right motivational pressure without being over the top. He pushes to maximize every workout. He is on time, professional, responsive. I have tried other trainers in the past and no one comes close. He's changed the way I feel about my physical abilities and I'm really excited to have found him.

Before I first met with Ben, he listened to my personal fitness goals and factored those in as opposed to a standard, pre-planned workout routine. I'd been using my own workout regime for years, and once I met with Ben, I immediately noticed the differences I was seeking. He's patient, he listens, and he will push you with encouragement and focus. He's the best trainer I've used in L.A., and I highly recommend him.

I am an actress and hired Ben to help me get ready for my television show. I not only loved the difference in my body but was impressed with my increased strength and endurance. I began noticing changes after the first work out. Ben is knowledgeable, patient and passionate. We worked on specific body parts and targeted my desired areas. He really listened to my wants and knew my needs before I did. I'm thrilled with my results and continue to see him regularly for maintenance. I've tried several trainers in Los Angeles and Ben is, without a doubt, the BEST in town.
