Ben Mescam Fitness

Fantastic experience: I've been running for about 17yrs and run to keep fit as well as having some ‘me time’ away from the hustle & bustle of daily life. A few months ago I found that my running had plateaued, with times and distances stalling, coupled with a niggling injury that made me feel very frustrated with my performance both in terms of time & distance. I realised I needed some help and reached out to Ben. Ben assessed my fitness and running ability and created a bespoke running training plan with incorporated runs of varying lengths & tempos & strength exercises. This change in approach has resulted in me being able to run 10k races (I’d been stuck at around 6k previously) & my times improving race on race - I have knocked over 3mins off my 10k race time so far... If you're looking to improve your running I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben as a Running Coach.

Fantastic experience: Ben was not just a personal trainer, but a skilled coach who helped me understand and effectively utilize the tools needed to make lasting lifestyle changes. His guidance was invaluable in unraveling the patterns that used to lead me to self-sabotage when facing setbacks. What set him apart was his personable nature and ability to relate our experiences as parents. Through a combination of mindset shifts and gradual habit changes, Ben's consistent support has enabled me to steadily progress toward my goals, avoiding my historical pitfalls of starting strong but failing fast.

Fantastic experience: In the past I was obsessed with my fitness, especially cycling fitness. In recent years I have been distracted by work and other commitments, therefore my fitness has been on the decline. When Covid came along, I lost many good friends and my mother. None of them to Covid . During that period I also lost my mojo. My drive and my confidence had gone. After training with Ben, I now have my confidence back. Ben made me aware of what I needed to achieve my health and fitness goals. It is a long and slow process, but without Ben, I would not be on my journey to a healthy lifestyle. I would 100% recommend Ben to anyone who needs to improve their fitness, diet and attitude to life. I feel more positive about my fitness and know that it has to be dovetailed in to my daily routine. Wouldn’t have got there without Ben’ help. A big thank you.

Fantastic experience: A 5 star personal trainer! I was completely in the dark about where to start to improve my health and fitness but working with Ben took all of the worry out of the equation. Even though we worked together online, he was able to give me a perfectly tailored program to get me started. I have gone from being stuck and nervous to confident and energised in the last 2 months. I would recommend Ben to anyone who is a new to the gym and wants support in any/all aspects of health and fitness. Thank you, Ben!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed working with Ben on my health and fitness goals. I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: As an IT Support business, supporting other businesses to keep them up and running. It can lead to me working at various hours throughout the day and night. The work also involves me being seated for a long period of time. This means I don’t often get chance to go to the gym or do more active exercises. It also means that take outs can often seem the quicker and easier option for dinner than cooking. Working with Ben is absolutely brilliant. He took on board what my work life demanded and just started making small changes. Looking at slightly different food choices. Exercises I could do anywhere and just do small bouts between jobs. All providing me with improvements over what I was doing before. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ben to anybody looking to make improvements in their life for their health.

Fantastic experience: Ben ran chair based exercise sessions for an older ladies group, these were fun and enjoyed by all. The ladies all looked forward to the sessions each week.

Fantastic experience: In the short time I’ve worked with Ben, I feel I’ve already learnt a lot about health / fitness / routines and posture. I’ve become so much more confident in the gym and overall theres been improvements around my physical and mental health.

Fantastic experience: I began working with Ben Mescam Fitness in August 2021. I had toyed with the idea of getting some support with getting my mind and body in shape for a number of years, but struggled to find a suitable person to work with or the energy to actually begin it. As a working Mom, finding time to exercise and spend time thinking about what I ate and how I ate was not always at the top of my agenda. Whilst working with Ben he actively got to know me and worked with me to carve out time, not only physically, but mentally to enable me to pursue personal goals to feel better in my mind and body. I never thought that I would actually enter a gym before our programme started, let alone look forward to going to one when I can. Ben helped me organise my time and thoughts so focussing on changing my mindset, was of paramount importance with enabled me to begin working on the physical aspect of the programme. I can now proudly say I have begun to make significant changes in my day to day life that incorporates exercise and eating mindfully. I have achieved my first ever Parkrun which felt amazing, this for me is my biggest achievement to date. With regular encouragement from Ben and his support when battling with some of these changes, I feel better in my mind and body as a result. Ben has enabled me to consciously be more aware of feeling and being more active and healthy. My thanks and gratitude to him for his guidance and support throughout the programme are endless. I would without a doubt, 100% recommend Ben Mescam Fitness to anyone who wants to make these changes for themselves.

Fantastic experience: Ben has really helped me to achieve my goals over the last six months. What he's done above all else, is given me the motivation to succeed. The work and organisation is down to me, but the weekly calls to Ben have given me something to strive for. I'd strongly recommend his services to others looking to get fit and lose weight.

Fantastic experience: Love the seated sessions. Always fun too. A good all round workout, thanks Ben.

Fantastic experience: We have worked with Ben over the last year to deliver online exercise groups for the people we work with who often have many barriers to being physically active. The groups really appreciate Ben's gentle, friendly easygoing approach and we have appreciated his flexible 'can do' approach as we have developed this offer

Fantastic experience: Not only am I thoroughly enjoying the sessions but am experiencing the benefit to my physical health. This is a must join class.

Fantastic experience: Because I'm a vulnerable older adult I have health problems, I have been isolating since the start of lockdown. My mental health and physical health suffered, until I was invited to join Bens exercise classes. These are exercises that are designed for people with a variety of health issues. I really love my exercise classes, I look forward seeing other members plus it's fun. As well as my fitness levels improving my mental health has also improved I can only put that down to Ben making our exercise classes fun. Thank you Ben your doing a fantastic job.

Fantastic experience: Ben has been delivering online exercise classes via zoom. These exercise classes are really inclusive, bringing along a wide age range and ability. Ben makes exercise fun again, brining in a number of different scenarios that push you physically and make it enjoyable. These online exercise classes have been renewed three times due to the demand and enjoyment of all that attend. I highly recommend Ben for all of your fitness needs!

Fantastic experience: Ben helped me with strategies for my nutrition and exercise. Thanks Ben!

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Ben (and I will be back!) After getting Covid my fitness levels plummeted and walking hills and hiking seemed a thing of the past. Ben worked with me to rebuild my fitness to the point I am now back at 8-14 mile walks, sprinting up hills, and feel so much better mentally and physically. I look forward to my new found freedom that the increased fitness brings me, and also returning to Bootcamp - which was so much fun

Fantastic experience: Re: Testimonial for Ben Mescam Fitness Having in recent years lost the motivation to exercise, gained weight, and made promises to join gyms etc I was pleased to be introduced to Ben of Ben Mescam Fitness. During our initial online discussions Ben introduced me to his 12 week program and asked me to complete various questionnaires and identify my motivations. I was adamant at the time that I was not about to significantly change my lifestyle including enjoying socialising and meals out, and when possible again, visiting the pub. Upon committing to work with Ben and making the financial commitment required, Ben has subsequently coached me through various process’ including, understanding what I am eating and when, and helped me significantly improve my fitness in small steps. To date I have lost nearly 9 kg and believe that I now have the understanding and motivation to continue to manage my weight and continue to get fitter. I would like to highly recommend that anybody looking to undertake a fitness program to definitely speak to Ben in the first instance. Thank you for your help so far DANIEL PATON

Fantastic experience: I started doing Ben's get fit bootcamp last year. Really enjoyed the sessions and found Ben to be very professional and knowledgeable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone interested in any of Ben's services. Top bloke.

Fantastic experience: Why did i start my journey with Ben Mescam Fitness? Approaching my 50th birthday in 2019 i felt as though i was struggling with my fitness as my young 6 year daughter was now running not faster than me, but she was able to run for longer! i decided that i needed to do something about myself. I used to be a member of another gym but had fallen into the same old routine there and it felt like it was becoming more of a social gathering. Training What i liked about Ben is his approach, honesty and integrity when explaining what would happen next and the result/s i might expect to see even as far as saying that i might not see any results if i wasn't prepared to put the work and effort in. "Consistency is the key" my weekly PT sessions compliment the times i go to the gym on my own and cycling to and from work. i look forward to continuing my journey with Ben through 2021 and beyond!

Fantastic experience: After speaking with Ben Mescam on a free consultation I was able to set realistic and tailored targets to start acheiving my fitness goals!
