We start at your home.
Your first session is free. We’ll discuss your goals, look at your available space, and assess your workout options before choosing a setup.

Ben on board · Standing client
Two people. One low anchor.
Here I’m on the board, and you’re standing in front. This concept would give you room to move off the platform while I provide the counterweight. The unit still sits near the floor.
Standing on the board does not raise the anchor. The hand moves upward and forward in this example to follow the cable’s line.
Concept to validate before offering: this two-person arrangement needs manufacturer confirmation and checks for sliding, tipping, and balance. Trainer weight alone does not establish a safe load.
Concept illustrations, not setup instructions. Your free home assessment determines which equipment, anchors, and movements are suitable.

Hi, I’m Ben.
PhD statisticianNSCA-certified personal trainer
Good personal training should make your life simpler. I’ll arrive prepared, guide your sessions, and pay attention to how you’re progressing. We’ll work toward your goals with a plan that fits your life.
My background in statistics and research on fitness–fatigue models shapes how I work: plan carefully, keep useful records, and explain the reasons for adjusting your training. That care is part of the service.

Good training starts
with your situation.
Your goals, your schedule, and the space you have. Those are the starting points for a plan we can follow and adjust together.
I handle the details.
I bring portable equipment, plan your session, and guide each movement. We’ll choose a compact setup that works with the space you have.
Your progress gets attention.
I’ll analyze your training records across sessions and review the results with you, so changes to your plan have a clear reason.
Care that carries between sessions
Your dose.
Your response.
The workout is the dose. What matters is how you respond to it.
Part of my job is to keep useful records and analyze how you’re responding. My training as a statistician helps me put those records to work, then explain what they mean for your next sessions.
- Record the dose. Track the resistance, repetitions, and work you do.
- Study your response. Look at changes in your performance and how sessions feel, across time.
- Make the next session informed. We’ll review what we’re seeing and decide what to adjust together.

Study the response. Adjust the dose.
Your training records help us see how you’re responding—and decide what to do next.
The gray bars are the dose. In this model, fitness pushes performance up and fatigue pulls it down. The blue line shows the balance.
Simulated example, not client results. Lines show the fitness–fatigue model; dots show simulated performance. Performance is relative to the model’s baseline. Bars show weekly training.
My research & writing
I’ve coauthored research on mathematical fitness–fatigue models, including how to fit them and how to interpret their estimates. These two papers are available as 2021 SportRxiv preprints.

Separately, Ben Stephens Hemingway’s 2021 doctoral thesis acknowledges my help developing Kalman-filter code.
A compact setup for your home
Less equipment.
Room to train.
I plan to use VOLTRA I by Beyond Power, a portable cable-resistance device. Its resistance is electronically controlled, so the load can be adjusted without swapping weight plates.
A floor platform supports low-anchor exercises. A suitable post and compatible strap mount can offer other pulling directions. We’ll assess what works in your home; an available post is only an option if its structure and mounting conditions are suitable.
You bring your goals. I handle the equipment and coaching.

Your next chapter
can start at home.
I’m seeking a limited number of founding clients for the launch. Join the interest list for updates and information about your free in-home assessment.
- Initially serving homes within approximately 20 miles of Fenton in Cary.
- First session free: goals, space, and workout options.
- No deposit or payment to join the list.
A few practical questions
Before we begin.
Do I need a home gym?
No dedicated home gym is required. We’ll assess your floor space and movement clearance during the free first session, then discuss the equipment and exercises that fit.
What if I don’t have a suitable post?
We can explore exercises using the portable floor platform, along with other movements suited to your space. Elevated cable work depends on a suitable anchor and compatible mount; it isn’t a requirement for joining the interest list.
Is this online coaching?
The planned service is in person, in your home. I bring the portable equipment and coach you through each session.
What does “founding client” mean?
You’ll be among the first people invited to explore the service as it launches. Joining the interest list expresses interest; it doesn’t reserve a training slot or commit you to buying sessions. Session availability, pricing, and scheduling will be shared before you decide.
