  • Lifting Club

    This is a super-duper efficient training plan. 2-4 Full Body workouts. 7 exercises per workout. Train 2-4 days per week. Each session will take around 30-45 minutes to complete. This is my go-to program template that I've pretty much made my entire personal training career off of. It's a time efficient plan that will make you stronger, more muscular, and happier (and, for what it's worth, better looking, too). Everyone makes body composition and strength gains with this plan! You'll get full access to the app and exercise library, video demos for each exercise, built-in progress tracking through the app. This is the most cost-effective, self-serve option. As a token of my appreciation, upon purchasing I'll also send you an "active rest/variety day" workout collection, in case you want to do any general exercise on your non-lifting days. These "bonus" workouts are made to be brief (10-20 minutes), fun, and should not interfere with your recovery from the main full body strength sessions. You don't NEED to ever do any of these 'active rest' workouts. But they're available as options for you if you wish to use them. Thanks, and enjoy the program!

  • Stupid Simple Full Body Program

    This is a super-duper efficient training plan. 2 general Full Body workout templates. 6 unique workouts. 4 exercises per session. Train 2-6 days per week (ideal frequency is likely 3-4 days for most people, but its flexible!). Each session will take around 25-35 minutes to complete. This is one of my go-to 30 minute (or less) program templates that I've pretty much made my entire personal training career off of. It's a time efficient plan that will make you stronger, more muscular, and happier (and, for what it's worth, better looking, too). Everyone makes body composition and strength gains with this plan!

About Benen

I've been a personal trainer since 2015 and have worked with people in-person in a variety of gyms, strength & conditioning facilities, and even garages (theirs and mine).

Most of my career has been focused on the in-person side of training, but, due to another cross-country move in Spring 2026, I've shifted a great deal of my business to online training.

I help regular people build muscle, lose fat, and move better in 20-40 minute workouts. No gym required. No complicated nonsense. Just effective workouts that fit real life. I have a passion for training with kettlebells, dumbbells, and basic bodyweight exercises – but depending on individual client needs and equipment availability (and preferences) – I also incorporate machines, cables, and barbells.

Gym culture has become strange in these modern times. I prefer to strip things back to what's necessary and what works. That is:
20-40 minute workouts
2-4 strength based training sessions per week
tenacious consistency
honest effort

Who my training is best suited for?
Regular adults with regular adult responsibilities who are looking to be strong and lean without living in the gym.

What I'm not:
While I do hold specific certifications in bodybuilding and powerlifting, I am not a competition prep coach and I do not pretend to be. I no longer train much like a powerlifter and have little interest training someone whose main focus is powerlifting-oriented. I'm also not a trainer that's going to switch your program every 4 weeks just to "confuse" the muscle. I like my muscles alert and ready, personally. (I jest). Progress comes as a result of consistent practice. I'm a believer that progressive overload is the key to forcing adaptations (think, better body composition), and to do that, we must track specific progress on our specific exercise variations over a long period of time. Switching plans and/or exercise variations too often interferes with our ability to truly track strength gains, limiting our progress.

I have 3 options for working with me:

Option 1: 1-on-1 Online Personal Training. You work directly with me, receive a totally customized program for you based on your needs, wants, and equipment availability. You can contact me through the app's built-in text messaging system any time. Unlimited form reviews. We have a phone call check-in at least once per month.

Option 2: Lifting Club Monthly Subscription Program. You have access to the Lifting Club Programs each month, get full access to the app and exercise library, video demos for each exercise, built in progress tracking through the app. This is the most cost-effective, self serve option.

Option 3: In-person training. This is your typical 1-on-1, in-person personal training option. Obviously, this only applies if we live in the same city. All in-person clients also receive full access to the app, including having a custom program logged and uploaded into the app.

Thanks for taking the time to read a little about me. I look forward to working with you!
