Ben Laxton

I grew up with fitness.  I have been active in sports and outdoor activities since before I could walk.  When I turned 14 I started lifting weights for sports and that exploded into a love of all things fitness.  No matter what the season I find myself searching for ways to stay active, and living in Wisconsin with the winters that can be a challenge.  I got a degree in health promotion while in college and then began really learning what that meant.  I learned more in my first job about fitness and training than I did in all of my time in college.  College gave me the scientific background to be able to apply and understand what I was learning on the job.  Since gradauting in 2008 I have worked in two large chain gyms where I got the opportunity to do personal training, small and large group training.  I also spent a year working in the physical therapy field as an aide.  I learned a great deal about injury prevention and rehab which has become invaluable in my career.  I know work for a small boutique style training studio where I get the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients in both individual sessions and small group sessions.
