About Me
Strength Coach
for the Second Half
of Life
Hi, I'm Ben Hessel, a personal trainer based in the Maryland/DC area. I specialize in working with two groups: busy professionals in their 40s and 50s who want to lose weight, build strength, and finally feel good in their bodies—and retirees and seniors focused on staying strong, mobile, and independent for the long haul.
My clients range from executives who haven't exercised in decades to seniors who want to minimize their risk of falls and maintain their quality of life. My approach is simple: meet you where you are, build a program around your life, and get stronger week after week.
