My name is Ben Stoffel. Throughout my youth, I was involved in many sports which eventually led to my love of fitness and exercise. During my years in high school I started my own resistance training regiment which sparked my passion. I applied to the University of Georgia to pursue a degree in Exercise and Sports Science. Most of the students in my program would graduate and pursue graduate programs in either physical therapy or physician assistant. I went through the application and interview process of physical therapy. During this time I was personal training at a local gym and found that I really enjoyed fitness coaching. I was faced with a decision when Mercer University offered me acceptance into their physical therapy program. I ultimately, declined and chose to pursue fitness coaching. Only 6 months later, I quit my in-person training job and started my own online coaching business. Since then, I have been coaching clients and growing my business.
