BASED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

     My name is Ben Gerner. I am an NASM certified personal trainer and nutrition coach with a bachelor's degree in Integrative Physiology from CU Boulder, and I am the founder of Gerner Fitness. My brand is nature-based fitness and wellness. As technology progresses and people lose their independence, it is my mission to bring people back to nature... like dogs returning to wolves. Everyone is capable of more than they give themselves credit for. Fitness is not just a practice but a lifestyle.

   Most of my expertise in physical fitness has come from my own personal experience. I have been training for years, with a wide range of goals (crossfit, bodybuilding, sport-specific training, martial arts, etc.). Tai chi is an important and unique part of my offering. I have been practicing for over 5 years and spent several months alone in China training under 2 different masters.

   I have a unique injury history, through which I have become adept at injury recovery and prevention. I have a deep understanding of the body and I prioritize taking preventative measures to correct muscle imbalances and lack of awareness that can lead to injuries.  I am able to help my clients recognize the source of injuries, prevent injuries from happening in the first place and recover from any current injuries as efficiently as possible.

   Every person has their own goals, experience, and limitations which I can account for in a personalized training program that will lead to a happier, more successful life. If you are interested in training with me, or would like to know anything more about the business, please reach out to me via the contact page.
