In this week's episode, I am joined by Ben Owen, men's coach.
Ben was an elite track athlete from the age of 13 and has worked with some of the best coaches in the UK. He has been surrounded by great men and coaches who were significant people in his life.
They were great figureheads and part of how Ben created discipline and structure in a chaotic household. Around 18 years old, in university, he became a personal trainer. Slowly he began working with more and more people and developed into a business called Fast Way To Fitness, helping people transform their bodies by focusing on boot camps, nutrition and mindset. He used to sit for hours on end in the consultation room with clients and they would talk about life, work, families, sex and all sorts of stuff and rarely talked about food and the results they get.\xa0
He had an incredible arc of success, but he was not used to all that money coming in, as a person coming from a poor family. By the time he turned 30 he got married and divorced. Things just started to fall apart for him. Ben noticed for the first time that he had to check in because something was not right. He realized his incessant need to work has turned him into a workaholic and he needed to put on the breaks. He went on a mental retreat where for the first time he could really stop and meditate and engage with yoga practices. He realized there was a lot to work on himself which brought him to men's work. This led to the realization that he likes men's work and decided to get back into coaching.
