Old Ben:
I’ve been a trainer for 10+ years. I knew how to train hard, but I had not found mobility training and I’d racked up some pretty serious miles on my body.
In 2018, on a family trip to Spain, the perfect storm hit. I caught a severe infection, “threw” out my back, feeling some of the worst symptoms and pain of my life. I was taken to the hospital as soon as we got back, and though my infection was eventually treated, my back pain was a mystery.
2 MRIs and expensive “specialist” visits left me with more questions than answers. I knew I had to find my own path back to moving well and feeling healthy.
New Ben:
✅ I can run for miles, sprint with my dog Zora, snowboard in the beautiful CO mountains, play basketball and more.
✅I can travel with my band for hours in the van and still get to the gig feeling my best and ready to perform.
✅ I have the tools to fix whatever pain arises from hours on the road. How did I get here?
- I learned about the many causes of pain and which were likely affecting me.
- I UN-learned the dogma of pain “management” from traditional medicine. There ARE times where you need surgeries, medications, and activity-avoidance, but this wasn’t one of them. I knew I needed to take action.
-Sleep and Nutrition: These two are so important. Without them you are going to have an uphill battle, and for a musician it can be tough to find good food OR a quiet place to sleep. Just do your best.
-Evidenced-based training & recovery methods:
1️⃣ Mobility Training for my joints, 2️⃣Breathing Techniques (too many benefits to list here) 3️⃣Calisthenics to get my ninja moves back, and eventually 4️⃣returning to weight-training to build back my strength from the inside out.
You don’t have to struggle to find a path forward on your own. I’ve been there before. I can help. If you’re ready to take the first step towards improving your health as part of being the best musician you can be,

Let’s get strong together. 👊
You might not wanti hear this, but the days of the puny musician are over 💪.
More musicians than ever before are waking up to the realization that our lifestyle on the road can come with some serious consequences down the line.
Touring is some of the most tiring yet rewarding work, and when you get to the gig, you need to be ready to carry heavy gear and perform for each audience with the same enthusiasm as the first night you debuted those songs.
It’s not always easy to make healthy food choices on the road, but you CAN move your body 🏋️
If you want to learn more about how to move your body well on tour, DM or comment below “Music Moves”.
I’ll send you my free warm-up guide for touring musicians, and we can setup a system that works for YOU. 👊
2016 …iCloud lost most of those photos but you can see the seeds planting.
Joined my first traveling band.
Practiced in the break room at work between clients. Hoped to one day be doing “it” on stage full time.
Saw a TON of inspiring shows.
10 years on and yes, I can still pistol squat 💪.
I’m quite pumped looking ahead into the rest of 2026, and always grateful for everyone that made everything possible for me.
Let’s kick it this year. Investing in your health pays unbelievable dividends, both on and off stage. Ask anyone who’s been doing this awhile and they credit fitness for their longevity.
👀lookin at you, younger dudes at the NYE party talkin about all the things they USED to do👀

2025 Client Goal Made and Kept ✅
My online client John earned himself a guitar-solo highlight video today after smashing the goal he set for himself a few months back. A HUGE personal win to keep a promise we made together earlier this year.
This can be you. I love helping people discover what they can really do with patience, technique, and hard work.
You can see my reaction at the end. If I can help you out in 2026, or if you’re thinking about taking a step towards better fitness and health, don’t hesitate to ask.
There’s no big call to action here. I’m around. I’ll take on your goals as if they’re my own. We will reach them together.
Keep it movin 👊.

1. Sleep
