About Ben.....

First of all welcome to the Trilogy Personal Training blog written by Ben Plenge.

Before I start blogging I thought I would introduce myself, and tell you all a bit about me. I am a 30 year old Personal Trainer living in West London, working in parks and outdoor spaces. I spent most of my 20's as an officer in the British Army, retiring as a Captain, having lived in Northern Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, and the UK from time to time! I also travelled widely with the Army including Canada, South Africa, France, and of course Iraq and Afghanistan.

I have always been an active and outdoors kind of person and something of a "jack of all trades," when it comes to sports and fitness. I love the variety of doing different sports and activities week in week out rather than just focusing on one. At heart my love is for mountain biking, and getting off the beaten track and into the countryside. I am also a keen climber and walker, but also enjoy racket sports, the odd game of football as well as fitness training and running. In the winter I love snowboarding and hitting the mountains, although my ambitions sometimes exceed my skills!

I now run Trilogy Personal Training in West London, training a real variety of people and helping them to achieve their goals. I believe in a holistic approach to problems like obesity, and find that through building a great relationship I can educate my clients so that they maintain a healthy lifestyle in the future. I eat a largely organic diet of natural and whole foods, and use tools like kettlebells to keep fit and strong.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you on the site again soon.
