Proud husband and dog dad!
I am passionate about helping real people experience real results!
I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. While at Appalachian State, I was a member of the Track and Field Team, which won four Southern Conference Championships.
I later received a master's degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). While at UNCG, I served as a volunteer graduate assistant for the Strength and Conditioning department and also taught undergraduate-level Exercise Physiology courses.
​
I have trained clients as a Personal Trainer for more than 12 years, with experience working at Greensboro Country Club, Alamance Country Club and Downtown Fitness on Elm in Greensboro. In 2019, I opened Ben Austin Personal Training and love working with my clients in-person and virtually.
I have experience working with people with a wide variety of fitness levels. From Division I collegiate athletes to persons with advanced Parkinson's disease ... and many in between.
