Many of you will have already met him by now, but how much do you know about our new coach, Ben?
His full name is Benjamin Torre, and his talents are many. First and foremost is his passion for CrossFit, which was the main reason we hired him, because we sincerely feel that only a coach passionate about what he teaches could ever really give the best to our clients.
Before becoming a CrossFit Coach and Personal Trainer, Ben lived in Thailand for a couple of years, where he was a PADI Dive Master. He then joined the French army to become a commando and parachutist, and continued travelling after leaving the army, in the process gaining certifications in NLP, MBTI and Fitness Training. He is a NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) Certified Personal Trainer and a Level 1 CrossFit Coach.
Ben also went through Shamanistic training while travelling, something which put him in touch with very intuitive people who helped him gain a deeper understanding of human nature, genetics, energetics and what drives them.
He combines his CrossFit training with his other skills in his personal life, and is happy to share his knowledge and experiences with interested clients.
Ben feels that the only thing that stops people from achieving their goals is themselves, and his belief is that a CrossFit lifestyle can give anyone the confidence to carry through anything they set themselves to achieve, and he is here to help them do so.
Come around and meet Ben personally if you have not yet done so, or if you are brand new to CrossFit GongFu!
