About
Meet Benjamin
Benjamin was born in Hamburg in 1978, and sport and movement have been part of his life ever since. Over around 16 years of coaching he has developed a practical, individual approach: understand someone's history, their week and their goals, then build training that holds up in real life.
His work has taken him beyond the UK and Germany, including time spent in South Africa and Thailand, where different climates, terrain and sporting cultures shaped how he thinks about training outdoors. Today he coaches privately in Leeds.
