Functional Health Coach / Personal Trainer
Ben Melton
NBC-HWC
Ben has spent the past several years working in the health and fitness space, while simultaneously continuing to further his academic pursuits through the CHEK Institute, studying all things related to holistic health and functional strength conditioning. His focus is largely on clients with chronic pain conditions, which he addresses through methods including postural correction, stretching and mobilization, fixing muscle imbalances, and functional core conditioning. He believes that to achieve optimal health and be free from pain one needs to start with a solid foundation of flexibility, stability, and strong core function, then progress into strength and muscle building to ensure pain and injuries do not return. It is his solid understanding of treating orthopedic issues combined with strength and power training that sets him apart from many other health practitioners.
Prior to joining Empower in 2023, Ben began his career in wellness working as a health coach, helping clients create healthy lifestyle habits and to navigate all the mental roadblocks that accompany behavior change, essentially creating a whole new version of themselves. Integrating this approach with exercise prescription, his services are truly a holistic package that ensures his clients not only get stronger and move more efficiently, but also manage their overall stress and improve every area of their lives including diet, sleep, and more! He believes that no problem in a person’s body exists in isolation, and in order to correct an issue everything in their life needs to be taken into consideration and looked at.
Ben is a Level 1 CHEK practitioner, a Board Certified Health and Wellness coach, and Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach. He is enrolled in a multi-year program at the CHEK institute where he will continue to develop highly specialized knowledge in numerous areas including holistic lifestyle coaching, spinal pathologies, and nerve impingements just to name a few.
When Ben is not working with clients, he is a passionate musician, playing guitar in a local touring band. He and his partner Sarah are also obsessed with their two goofy orange cats, Burt and Pizza.
