Founder

Ben

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Ben found his passion for fitness when he realized the impact it had on him as a person in all aspects of life, especially his mental health. As founder of BUF Personal Training and BUF Over 50, he has built a team dedicated to helping people of all ages get stronger and move better.

I had a really difficult early twenties, to the point where I required medication just to function mentally. The fitness lifestyle completely changed my life. I have been medicine free for 5 years now, and have never felt happier or more in control of my life. I'm committed to now give that same feeling to others.

It was when I stepped into the gym that I was able to release the need to be a perfect person and work on being the best version of myself. Giving others that same experience and watching them crush their goals is hands down the best part of my day.
