Ben Mescam Fitness

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: I re-structured my recruitment business, over the last 3 years, so that I can travel more and live between the UK and Vienna. Long hours in the car (I drive to Europe because of the dog and the ability to go off-piste when I fancy), meant grabbing fast food along the way and being even more sedentary than usual. Sitting at a desk swapped for sitting in the car. Ben was great at moving my training and support online and developing a programme I could do anywhere without relying on lots of equipment or gym membership. He also accommodated me for in-person training, and attendance at his group bookcamp, when I was around. He knows his stuff and I particularly like that he doesn't have that "beasting you to your limits" approach that seems quite popular I'm a 50 year old business woman who enjoys fine foods and wine. I do not want to "feel the pain" or "crush those reps." What I really want is a magic pill that removes all the calories from the delicious things and tones my muscles. Until that is invented, there's Ben Mescam.

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 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: 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: 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: 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
