Congratulations to our September Employee of the Month, Ben!

Ben has been teaching swim lessons for about three years at the club. Outside of teaching, his favorite thing to do is spend time at the gym working on his fitness goals. “Having access to a really nice gym has kept me going consistently. The supportive members and staff also bring a welcoming environment that doesn’t make me nervous going to the gym.”

Ben struggled a bit when he first started working out as he wasn’t seeing much progress. After talking to Personal Trainer and Group Ex Director, Jeremiah Johnson, Ben walked away with not only a new workout plan but also nutrition advice to advance his fitness goals. His favorite exercises include the chest press or the stairmaster.

Outside of the club, Ben enjoys hanging out with friends, going to school and learning to play the piano. We’re so happy to have him on the team at Active at Petaluma!
