Real people.
Real stories.
Real change.
For more than a decade I have had the privilege of helping people from many different backgrounds overcome obstacles, rebuild confidence, improve their health, and create lives they could continue living long after coaching ended.
Every story is different.
The principle is always the same.
Consistency.

"As an Orthopedic Surgeon I have worked and been around physical trainers all of my life. Most of them have a cookie cutter approach to all clients, bending their techniques as little as possible. Miles starts with questions and a complex exam before recommending any personal program. I have found him adaptive and perceptive of changes that may occur over time. He is encouraging and acknowledges improvements as they emerge. He is a rare talent in his area of expertise.

Donna:
"I trained with Miles for 2 years. During that time life had its ups and downs as well as my physical progress. I went through a lot and with Miles' guidance and the accountability provided I still managed to lose 29lbs, getting me down to 117lbs total. I lost 20lbs of body fat going from 28% to 18.3% body fat. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I had training with Miles. He is very knowledgeable and makes reaching your goals very easy, it almost seems too easy if you listen to what he tells you. I managed to make it happen while being a single mom, if you have any doubt at all, Miles will help you."
Lana
"I have trained with Miles for a year now and during that time I lost over 40lbs and 9 inches from my waist. I have gone from a size 12 to a size 0! with plans to build more muscle and reach goals I did not realize were possible. He has been tremendous help physically and mentally on my journey."
Beth:
"Before I started training with Miles I had so much shoulder pain I could barely open my front door, within 3 months I was doing things I hadn't done in years pain free. In 7 months I lost 35lbs with 28lbs of body fat lost. In 10 months I lost 5 inches from my shoulders, 6 inches from my chest, 6.5 inches from my waist, and 7 inches from my hips. I HIGHLY recommend training with Miles, he makes reaching your goals fun and realistic."
Julia:
"I am not a gym person at ALL and I trained with Miles for a little over 2 years. Life will always have its inconsistencies and having Miles help keep you accountable is unbelievably helpful towards reaching your goals. Anytime I hurt myself from life activities, Miles was able to help alleviate the pain and try to get me to a less painful place. I lost between 45-50lbs, my posture and the way I carry myself has progressed dramatically, my mood and mindset has shifted entirely, I have more fun and daily activities are not nearly as tiring as they were before I started training. I lost close to 30lbs of body fat and look like an entirely different person. I lost 6 inches from my waist, 6 inches from my hips, 4+ inches from my chest and shoulders. I highly recommend training with Miles."
Etheline:
"I am in my 70s and I saw incredible progress! I trained with Miles for a little over 1 year consistently. At the start of our training I was 193lbs and within 14 months I was 171lbs. I absolutely love and can not recommend Miles enough. I managed to lose 18lbs of purely body fat and 7 inches from my waist! Aside from the aesthetic changes; my overall health was dramatically different, Miles had me doing things I didn't know I could do anymore, or didn't even think I SHOULD be doing."
Nancy Lynn Haber:
"I love my trainer Miles Bennett. I'm a senior and have some serious back issues that I stubbornly refuse to give into. Surgery was recommended to 'clean up' my spinal stenosis, osteoporosis and disc problems. Three months into training with Miles has increased my muscle strength and improved my posture and balance. I'm walking 2-3 miles a day now pain free. Miles has been very respectful of any of my concerns with my back when I am working out. Added bonus: I've lost 5 pounds and even my blood pressure has improved. I highly recommend Miles Bennett"
Jim Burnett:
"Miles Bennett is outstanding in that he relates well to older people. I'm 75 years old, overweight and out of shape and told Miles my goals were to lose weight and get back mobility and stamina. Having never been in a fitness center I was overwhelmed with all the equipment. Miles has set up the training to acquaint me with the equipment concentrating initially on form and procedure. He monitors my breathing and well being during the workout and adjusts accordingly. After 6 weeks working with Miles, I have lost about 8 pounds, have better breathing (stopped using my inhaler for moderate COPD) and had a significant blood pressure drop (last doctor visit was 120/70). Further, I have changed my diet to help achieve these results. I look forward to continued improved results."
Rita:
"As a 75-year-old female, I was very hesitant to begin working on my pains and overall health. Miles is extremely knowledgeable and the information that he teaches you will work as soon as YOU start to apply it. In just my first month of working with Miles I have lost 4 inches from my waist and 4 pounds of body fat, 1lb per week. I greatly appreciate that Miles has been trained in pain management and again in just one month, I have so much less pain and am remarkably stronger because of the gentle, effective exercises that he is teaching me. Additionally, I love that Miles is not just a Personal Trainer but also a great resource for nutrition advice. He explains to you how and why food works and how you should eat certain foods at certain times for best weight loss results. I can't recommend Miles highly enough to help you meet your goals!"
Samantha:
"I would absolutely recommend this gym to everyone in the area, but most of all recommend my trainer, Miles Bennett, from day one, Miles has been inviting, friendly, and is the most knowledgeable trainer I have ever worked with.
As a female who has spent thousands and thousands on fad diets that never worked, bikini coaches, and other trainers, Miles by FAR beats them all.
He not only provides incredible value, but teaches his clients what to do and WHY when it comes to our workout program, which shows how much he really cares. He's open to questions, provides support, and makes our workouts fun too :) We worked together for a short 3 months. Overall this is the most confident I've ever felt in my body, and in the gym. Thank you, Miles. Absolutely, 100% recommend."
Proud Parents:
"We were looking for a trainer for our 17 year old daughter struggling with the common anxieties of being a 17 y/o in today's day in age. We wanted to give her the opportunity of feeling herself shatter some goals of her own. After a brief consultation with Miles, we knew she would be in good hands. Our daughter was apprehensive at first but just two weeks in she has seen some results that she was looking for, she says she feels better and its exciting for us to see her get into something so healthy for her. Her confidence and the way she carries herself have continued to improve."
Update: our daughter took the knowledge into her first year at college and lost over 70lbs.
Sam Veeramachaneni:
"I suffered a shoulder injury in college that never fully healed - in the years that followed, my performance, range of motion, and overall function in my day to day life was taking a big toll. I couldn't even lift my arm past my shoulder.
That's when I approached Miles and together we sat down and talked over everything that I had been facing. He crafted a workout program specifically for my needs. The routine was great, easy to follow and dynamic enough to avoid fatigue. Miles was always there for suggestions or modifications. That program lasted me over a year and without it I would not have been able to get through physical therapy."

Tony Rivera:
"Miles is an excellent trainer - I wanted to prepare for a high school reunion, so I trained with Miles for a short 3 weeks. Miles was able to guide me on my eating habits as well as my workouts in this short time span. I am 56 years old and with his help, managed to lose 2lbs of pure body fat and almost 4 inches from my entire body with 2.25 inches being lost from my waist. I highly recommend training with Miles, he will make sure you are on the right track towards your goals."
Charlotte:
"Miles was incredibly helpful during my health journey. He not only showed me what it means to be healthy physically through good eating and physical practices, but also how to improve my mental health. We started working together at an all time low for me and after working with him and building a relationship, I am in such a better place with a large part due to him, thank you so much"
Maggie:
"Miles is an excellent personal trainer, since day one, he has taken the time to listen to me and what my overall goals are. He is focused on my form so I do not injure myself and anytime I start to feel pain, he will modify the workout to alleviate the pain. Miles is organized and always has what we are going to target that day planned out in advance. His communication skills and experience shines and I would highly recommend Miles as your very own personal trainer!"
Rafael Reyes:
"I trained with Miles for six weeks and lost 7 pounds and 3 inches off my waist. He was very knowledgeable. He trained me on how to use the machines and proper form. I recommend Miles, he makes working out fun."
Josh:
"I am writing this testimonial to express my gratitude for the incredible impact you have had on my fitness journey. Your expertise, dedication, and motivational approach have truly transformed my perspective on health and wellness. From our very first session, it was clear that you are not only knowledgeable about fitness training but also genuinely invested in your clients' success. Your personalized training programs are tailored to meet my specific goals and abilities, allowing me to progress at a steady pace while ensuring that I remain challenged. What sets you apart is your ability to motivate and inspire. You have a unique talent for making each workout enjoyable and your positive attitude creates an environment where I feel comfortable pushing my limits. Your passion for your work and your commitment to your clients' success truly make a difference. Thank you once again for your support and guidance. "
William:
"I signed up for professional training and couldn't be happier, my coach 'Miles' kept me motivated and I learned something new with each session. I had such good results that I signed up for a second round of training sessions. He's got me on the right path to achieve my fitness goals. Thank you Miles!!"
Mike Honcho:
"I started working with Miles because I wanted to learn how to safely and properly use the equipment in the gym as well as have some accountability and a routine. Miles offers all of these things and more - sessions with Miles are full of learning the equipment functions, body mechanics, muscle group activation, and proper form. Miles does this while pushing your limits and helping you break through barriers you THINK are holding you back. One of the biggest takeaways I believe I get from my sessions with Miles are the workouts we wouldn't do without someone pushing us. Some of the HIIT workouts or high cardio workouts are not my favorite, but with the accountability and doing them with Miles they never get missed and the results are fantastic. After just a few weeks I have lowered my blood pressure, my heart rate recovery time is dramatically improved, I look and feel better. If you are unsure what your goals are like I was, or if you have some goals in mind - I'd encourage you to have a conversation with Miles. You'll quickly find his knowledgeable yet super down to earth jovial personality exactly what you may have been looking for in a trainer... I sure did. "
