As someone who has been involved in fitness for decades—through seasons of training, transitions, and transformations—I’ve experienced just about every kind of workout environment you can imagine. But every now and then, you walk into a space that just feels different. That was exactly my experience when I dropped into a class at Anchor Up Fit, owned and led by the Coach Ben.
From the moment I walked in, I could tell this wasn’t just another gym—it was a thriving community built on connection, respect, and meeting people right where they are.
Coach Ben greeted me with warmth and intention, taking the time to personally introduce himself and genuinely learn about my background, goals, and even what kind of workout I enjoy most. That individual attention didn’t end with me.
Throughout class, I watched him engage with each participant like they were the most important person in the room. Regardless of your fitness journey, the programming was modified with care, intention, and science-backed knowledge.
And that’s part of what makes Coach Ben so special.
With 20+ years in the fitness industry, a military background in elite-level training, and a deep passion for evidence-based coaching—he’s currently finishing his Master’s in Dietetics to become a Registered Dietitian—Ben brings a unique blend of grit and grace to every class. After having talked with him, he has helped over 11,000 service members reach their peak, and now he’s pouring that same dedication into everyday people right here in our community!
What struck me most was how inclusive the experience felt. The energy was electric, the programming was smart and adaptable, and the encouragement was constant. No one was left behind—everyone was seen, celebrated, and pushed with purpose.
The session itself was a beautifully balanced blend of strength and conditioning, with clear demonstrations, expert coaching, and a celebratory finish—literally! It was Coach Ben’s birthday!
Post-workout and celebration, I sat in the sauna to enjoy one more amentity.
Pre-workout, I had the opportunity to receive an InBody scan. Every member can track real progress, aka real data, that is not just a number on a scale.
Another added benefit is the kids’ room, so parents can get their workout in without worry!
It’s rare to find a place that prioritizes both results and relationships, but Anchor Up Fit delivers both. It’s not about smashing your body—it’s about learning it, supporting it, and building it up from the inside out.
