    My observation of the Jungle Gym Ben is adaptive. He listens and adapts to your progress while continously pushing you to move towards your definition of a better version of yourself. It's hard to imagine sometimes that he trains a wide scope of individuals,all with different goals and perceptions. I do not know of many who will train you at anytime from literally 4am -9pm. Who wouldn't want to train with someone like that!?! Tell Ben your goals and your availability and he will show up! He's also honest and trains with integrity! The gym itself is the perfect size. It is not to overwhelming yet packs alot of juice. Ben is very creative and utilizes the full scope of the place. In my line of work I have access to several gyms free of charge and trainers at the same rate. I'm practical, if I can get something free, why not? Well, here's why not. The Jungle Gym offers something worth alot more than practicality. It's a place to Just Unleash N Let Go of Everything! Your critical expectations of yourself. You expectations of fitness and getting fit. You expectations of having to be in a " beast" position before entering a gym. Your expectations of having a certain form when you step in the gym. If you can think of it and it prevents you from getting started- the Jungle Gym is the place for you to change your mind and release your inner beast! Invest in yourself and come to the Jungle Gym!

    The first change takes place in your mind. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I started packing on weight up to 10 pounds every year. I gained even more during the quarantine. In January 2021, I decided to make a change and hire a personal trainer. After searching for a couple of months I found Ben. After working with him for about a month I noticed a change in how I felt. My energy levels increased and my mindset had improved. Better food choices soon followed. Now it’s been two months of working with Ben and I can see physical changes and continued improvement in my mindset. What I like about this gym is it’s private, very clean, and everyone is friendly. They are all focused on helping you achieve your personal best! Ben is very encouraging, knowledgeable, and lots of fun. I never thought I would say that about a challenging workout but they too I are very, very fun. The sense of accomplishment that I feel after attending a workout makes me hungry for more. It’s a fact that you become who you hang around most. I am so happy to spend my mornings at this gym with elite athletes, outstanding professionals and other high caliber men and women. But don’t get me wrong this club is accepting of all people non athletes (like me) are welcome. So here’s what you really want to know: 1. It’s affordable if you want it! 2. There are no shortcuts to getting fit. You have to do the work. 3. They’re not babysitters but they’re also not drill sergeants. 4. If you are consistent you will get RESULTS. 5. Transformation starts in the mind, your body transformation is the result of a well trained well disciplined mind. So come to Bodies By Ben if you’re really ready to be transformed.

    Jungle Gym is great - Friendly staff, all the equipment for a good workout. Ben is a really good trainer, his varied intense workouts helped improve my tennis game. He trains people for various sports and achieving their goals.

    Ben is an extraordinary talent. Both my teenage son (football player, track) and I train with him. Not only is his energy contagious, he is technically sound...and never ever boring! We both have different athletic goals and for me, a middle aged mom, I just set a PR by 30 seconds on a 5 minute steep hill run...no question Ben's training was the difference! We love PR's!!!

    I'm happy to be the first to review this gym of personal trainers and give it the props it deserves! My success story is proof of just how great this gym and its trainers are. I had been going to a gym for a couple years prior to training with Ben. I had reached a plateau in my fitness that had me considering accepting what I was, which was tall and skinny. After being disappointed from the results of working with a couple of the big box gym trainers in the past. I decided to think outside the box and hire a personal trainer at a private gym. Luckily I found Ben and thats where it all started! Ben and his gym took me from a rather skinny 170lbs to a solid 210lbs naturally. I say naturally because its important to know that this is a drug free training facility. My squat increased by 200lbs and thats only a portion of the improvements. Through his custom diet and training guidance, I can honestly say Ben knows his stuff and what makes it all fun is he's fun and cool to work with. I can't say enough about the FREE parking! This is becoming harder and harder to find on Oahu and to be able to pull up and get your workout on without spending more on parking is a big help. The facility has everything you need, I mean EVERYTHING you need to achieve your goals. Wether it's weight loss, competition ready bodybuilding or general fitness guidance, this gym and the trainers will get you there. If you've spent any time in a gym you know most are dirty and the weights are all over the place. Ben and his team of trainers take great pride in keeping the gym clean, smelling fresh and the equipment is where it should be. The staff of personal trainers there are all exceptionally experienced, fun to work with and will leave you with a smile on your face from enjoying your workouts and the results.

    After searching for personal trainers in my area, I reached out to Ben at Bodies by Ben for a consultation. He responded promptly and we set up a time to meet. During the consultation he addressed my goals, eating habits, health/injuries, and recommended a training schedule. Without hesitation I signed up and started right away. Ben was patient, supportive and motivated me when I started to slack. He is an amazing trainer who is both personable, knowledgeable and flexible with scheduling. I’ve been training with Ben for two months now and can definitely see and feel a difference. It’s the best feeling in the world to fit back into clothes that were too little a few months ago and have more energy throughout the day. If you want a push, results and no judgment definitely check out Bodies by Ben you will not be disappointed.

    Ben was my trainer for a little over 2 months. In that short time my body completely changed. Ben is patient and dedicated to his clients. He will accommodate busy schedules and be there anytime that fits your life. You will not be disappointed in your results his commitment to your goals and his professionalism. Ben is the best trainer on this island BY FAR.

  • 5/5 Shaun D. 7 years ago on Google
    An amazing trainer and honestly sort of a life coach too. He was very patient with me and my schedule. Ive used numerous trainers and yet none were precise with working with my nutrition diet and educating me on vitamins and supplements. I would suggest to any and all who are serious about getting healthy and in shape to definitely give Ben a shot! You like I won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Chelsea C. 7 years ago on Google
    Ben is an inspiring, informative, friendly, & joyful trainer who motivates all of his clients by learning about each of their unique training habits & goals. He truly knows what he's talking about & I feel comfortable going to him with any of my issues ranging from my confidence to my eating habits. The best part about working with Ben is the fact that he takes time to get to know each one of his clients on a personal level. Going to a personal trainer who has the level of prowess that Ben has can be intimidating for a lot of people, but that type of opinion/attitude/feeling could not be further from the truth with Ben. He is very welcoming & I enjoy our one-on-one sessions as much as I appreciate working out with him or a few of his clients. With Ben, you're family!

  • 5/5 MIA M. 7 years ago on Google
    Ben has been my trainer since February and it has been quite a journey looking back at my precious fitness goals compared to my current fitness goals. Since being at this gym, he has created an environment of tranquility for rest and stretching days and constant encouragement from both him and his other clients. I used to be uncomfortable in the gym but hearing the success stories from other females got me excited to stick with it for a few months. As of now my focus has changed from getting temporary results to fit in a dress to changing my lifestyle to look go in and out of season. Of course in Hawaii it's always bikini season. So I highly recommend his professional services, you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Angie L. 1 year ago on Google
    I am not a fan of going to gyms or working out. As a shorter female, I often find gym equipment doesn't work out for me. Not here though! Ben is so personable he makes working out feel like you're hanging out with a caring friend. He motivates and pushes you to sweat all while creating a very comfortable, easy going vibe! I learned a lot and really enjoyed working out!

  • 5/5 Kristen R. 7 years ago on Google
    I feel very comfortable at this gym and with Ben. He is a great trainer that pushes and reminds you to get you going to work towards your weight goals, and not only that, he can give you nutritional advice that really helps. Been going to him for about a year now and been maintaining my weight after losing 30 lbs. I highly recommend him!

  • 5/5 Elaina L. 5 months ago on Google
    Ben helped us hit our goal of getting into shape for our wedding and I'm genuinely impressed. His fun personalized approach and positive motivational style have transformed our health and fitness. Between my partner and I we each lost 15lbs and gained muscle. I recommend Ben for anyone seeking effective and enjoyable workouts.

  • 5/5 Dr. S. 5 months ago on Google
    Ben makes working out fun, even for those of us for whom it is not innately. One of his great strengths is meeting someone where they are, anywhere along the spectrum from couch potato to Marine or competitor. While I don't miss working out on the days I do not, I miss hanging with him - he's become 'ohana to so many of us. Wouldn't train with anyone else.

    One amazing experience after another, achieving results one goal at a time. The encouraging and motivating atmosphere in unmatched.
