Ben Kaufman | ZANESVILLE, OH PERSONAL TRAINER

it's time to make a change.

it's time to commit.

I believe in honest and sustainable fitness journeys. There are no quick fixes or magic pills for life-changing results in just two weeks. Instead, consistent effort, accountability, and discipline over many months will lead you to your goals. This is not a 2-week sell; it's a commitment to work and a long-lasting transformation.

success stories

Ben has been my personal trainer for over 2 1/2 years now. Ben is an amazing trainer and I feel blessed to have met him. He tailors all of my workouts to meet my needs. He knows how to mix it up and it never will be boring. I have made an amazing transition with my weight, body and overall health losing over 50lbs. I have Ben's hard work and dedication to thank for that. I couldn't have done it without him!

Lynne

I have been working with Ben for over two years. Each session is varied which allows me to build full body strength to make me a stronger and faster athlete for soccer while also working to prevent injury in the process. In addition, I have also gained an immense amount of confidence in myself as both a person and an athlete.

Abby (soccer athlete)

I started with Ben the spring of my junior year of high school in March of 2021. Within the first few months he taught me much more than just strength training. On top of being physically stronger, I was much more confident and mentally stronger. Since then, he helped shape me into the person I am. By means of strength training, self development, and bringing out a strong work ethic. While in college, I’ve taken what I’ve learned from Ben and brought it into both the weight room and everyday life.

Blaine (swim athlete)

I've been faithfully training with Ben since November of 2021. It has been the best, life changing decision I have made! Ben is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated, honest, and authentic! It has been hands down, my best investment to date! I feel stronger, more confident, and more comfortable in my skin. I have more energy and have less pain. I look forward to my sessions with Ben and know he cares about each of his clients! It's not just an occupation for him. It's a passion! If you have any doubts at all, I highly recommend you give this a try! YOU ARE WORTH IT! You get one body, and it's your job to take care of it to the best of your ability! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Kelli

I began working with Ben two years ago. At the time, I was overweight, and I lacked confidence. I knew I needed to make a change, needed accountability, and help with how to workout, weight loss and nutrition. Hiring Ben was the best decision I have ever made. In about a year, I lost 50 pounds, but even more than that, I got stronger physically and with the strength came a new found sense of confidence. The lessons I’ve learned from working with Ben have carried over into all aspects of my life and I firmly believe that exercise has changed my life for the better. At age 42, I am in the best shape of my life!

libby

After a significant loss in weight, I was ready to focus on strength training for my muscle tone and overall fitness. A friend of mine recommended Ben, and it didn’t take long to realize I had made the right decision by choosing him! I needed one on one training in a studio instead of the distraction of a gym setting. Ben customizes his training for the individual, not “one size fits all”. After several months of training, the results speak for themselves. All of the hard work and dedication has become a way of life. Thank you, Ben!

Success stories

I have been training with Ben for a couple of years. I have been focused on improving my physical strength, endurance, and overall health for several years. I joined a gym in 2018, despite being intimidated by others with more experience. I did my best to lift correctly by using online videos and mobile apps but fell into a routine where I was doing the same routine every day. I started training with Ben in 2020 and I have learned so much. He has been patient and provided guidance to me to meet my fitness goals. I now go to the gym with confidence; knowing what to do and how to lift safely, how to focus on specific muscle groups. I enjoy the weekly training sessions with Ben, and look forward to working out!

"I started training with Ben going into my freshman year to become faster and stronger for track. Ben makes me feel comfortable working out to where I am not afraid to try new things and push myself. He pushes me to work on different exercises, teaches me proper form, and never lets me quit when things get hard. I have become a better athlete and am much stronger, both physically and mentally, as a result of training with Ben.

Carmin (track & field athlete)

Ben is a great mentor. He has helped Wyatt grow both physically and mentally. Your child is never too young to learn the fundamentals of working out the right way and Ben is the guy to get them there.

Parents of wyatt (baseball, basketball, and football athlete)

I have been going to Ben several years now. You will never find a more kind, caring, encouraging and always prepared trainer. Even though I am one of the oldest clients that he has, he never treats me like the grandma that I am. He encourages, pushes and also adiusts when an exercise isn't feeling good on my joints. I always feel safe and secure and cared for and never worry about an injury as he makes sure everything I do is done correctly. As I was leaving my session today, a young man came in that was 60 years younger than I am for his session. Ben trains all ages and easily connects with all ages. He has a plan, no matter what age you may be.

about me

  • the start.

    My journey into the world of personal training and coaching began in late 2019 when I obtained my personal training certification, driven by a desire to support and guide people on their fitness journeys. Starting with hands-on training experiences with fellow soldiers during my 6 years in the United States Army, I soon realized my passion.

  • opening my own gym.

    In January 2021, I took the leap and founded "BK FITNESS" in Zanesville, Ohio, and in the fall of 2022, I opened my own gym and personal training studio, "Revive Wellness Hub." Over the years, I've been grateful to help hundreds of individuals ranging from ages 9 to 75, and across all experience levels, achieve incredible results in areas such as strength building, weight loss, general wellness, and sports performance.

  • holding myself to a standard

    I hold certifications as a Certified Underground Strength/Sports Performance Coach (Certified by Zach Even-Esh), Certified Westside Barbell Personal Training and Athletic Coaching, and ACE (American Council on Exercise) Certified Personal Trainer. Competition and pushing myself has a huge place in my life as I have an athletic background in football and track. I still actively compete in powerlifting and have completed a spartan race and a half-marathon.
