Ben is the definition of grit, determination, and good vibes—so it’s only right we celebrate him as our February Member of the Month!
Whether he’s smashing through Hyrox workouts, pushing his limits, or enjoying a well-earned pint, Ben brings his all to everything he does.
His dedication to training and the Leo community is next level, and we’re lucky to have him.
💪 Favourite workout?
Anything related to Hyrox! I love a long chipper that mixes cardio with strength so I can really embrace the pain.
🏃♂️What are you doing when not at Leo?
I love getting out into the woods around Marlow with our dog, Myla. I work in visual effects for film, TV, and commercials, which means dealing with time zones across the US and India—so I always have one eye on work. Right now, we're finishing up some Super Bowl commercials, so it’s all hands on deck! Outside of that, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter and having the occasional pint in a classic pub.
🍔 Favourite food?
My favourite cuisine is Japanese, but when it comes to meals, nothing beats a Christmas dinner (or any roast, really)!
🎤 Motto or phrase you live by?
I’m a bit of a Jocko fan, so I’ll go with his phrase: "Discipline equals Freedom." By taking ownership of your actions and practicing self-discipline every day, you gain control over your life and choices—especially when it comes to health and wellbeing.
😵 Something we may not know about you?
At 18, I spent four months backpacking and hitchhiking from Ethiopia to Zimbabwe with my girlfriend (now wife). Totally unprepared—no mobile phone, not enough money—just a Lonely Planet book, a cheap tent, and a positive attitude. Happy days!
❤️Anything else you want to add?
I’ve had a great year at Leo. I’m fitter and stronger than ever and have made some great friends along the way. Thanks to the top-notch coaching, I’ve even managed to survive a few Hyrox comps without keeling over! Leo is a big part of my life, and being part of this community means a lot—thanks, Leo legends!
Congratulations again Ben!
