This a great gym which has enabled me to go from a diabetic diagnosis to Powerlifting Maters 1 National Title and record in 18 months! I was initially hesitant and very apprehensive about going to a gym but this feeling soon disappeared after only a few sessions. All the staff are extremely dedicated and do all they can to help you achieve your goals at any level. Ben himself has dedicated a lot of time to help me overcome my health issues and help me achieve more than I ever though I could.... I have now competed several powerlifting competitions and all at the gym have been supportive and given their time to help on these days. Can not recommend Bens Army enough......

Bec's Story
Hi I'm Bec and I joined Ben's Army 2 years ago.
I only joined because my husband Gareth kept raving about how good it was and I was seeing in him the changes I wanted to see in myself!
react-text: 195 I've been to other gyms and never really fit in, I was always self conscious that every one was staring at the "fat" girl in the gym, but Ben's Army is different. I've never felt uncomfortable working out here and I've always felt the encouragement, not just from the awesome trainers, but from the other members as well. It's more like a family than a gym. For nearly 18 years I have battled with an eating disorder, this has had a huge impact on my life and when I joined the gym I still struggled with my food. Joining Ben's Army gave me the confidence and tools required to overcome my battle and though I have had ups and downs the changes I have made have all been positive steps to improving my health and reaching my goals. To date I have lost 20kgs, the right way, through exercise and diet and have gone from size 18-20 down to 12-14! Though not at my final goal this has improved my confidence by leaps and bounds, I have gained muscle and toned up in areas I never thought possible haha! Not to mention the amazing people I have met along the way, these people who now feel like friends. It feels like everyone at the gym has an encouraging word, a good old joke or willing to lend a hand! This gym really feels like an extended family and I couldn't imagine having gotten this far in my journey at any other gym. A huge thanks to all the trainers for their encouragement and knowledge along the way and the other gym members for making me feel comfortable, but most importantly to Lacey for being the best gym buddy and friend but for also keeping me on track.
