Ben Blane

Ben became a Personal Trainer 2014, starting his career at Virgin Active, where he gained valuable experience and he took every opportunity to expand his knowledge by completing different training courses in order to build his Personal Training business. Ben then joined Chilli Pilates in 2017 and from then he has really focused himself on developing a comprehensive understanding of the human body, specialising in injury prevention.

Ben is passionate about all aspects of health and fitness, but has a particularly keen interest in mindfulness and nutrition and believes they form the foundation for overall health and well being. These are the key components that Ben practices with his clients as well as in his own life.

“The human body is millions of years in the making. The mind is only as old as you are.”

This depends on the severity of the injury, but prior to arriving for your first class you will complete a Online Health Questionnaire to highlight any existing injuries or medical conditions. This will be reviewed by your instructor and if necessary they may recommend a 1 on 1 workout instead, if the instructor is happy for you to attend they will adjust the workout to accommodate you.
