Today we’d like to introduce you to Bennett Dahl
Hi Bennett, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I started working out at an extremely young age. Asking for total gyms and bench press sets for my birthdays when I was 8 and 10 years old. The things that come out of taking care of your body and your health was always a no brainer to me and I would workout for hours as a kid, I just wanted to get better. Nothings changed today in regards to that. I’ve been training since 2006 and I can truly say I love what I do. Making positive impacts in the open minded people who are willing to change and watch their lives improve is super rewarding.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Being self employed is never smooth, and especially not at first. When I first started I didn’t have some amazing business sense I just loved what I did. I was good at the thing I did but I was 18, super green and didn’t understand the business side of things to an extent. I didn’t have the lead generation or systems setup I do now. I just stuck with it then and knew someday I’d figure it out because I was actively trying every single day.
We’ve been impressed with Answers Not Excuses Fitness Training, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am an in person and online personal trainer. I specialize in meeting people at their current fitness level and giving them an answer not just for their excuses, but their issues. What sets me apart is this IS my life, this isn’t something I just do part time. I train people online the same as I do in person after shooting over 1500 videos and counting in 4k to replicate myself to my clients and solve their issues. Brand wise I’m most proud of the fact that the name I picked at 18 really resonates with people now. I base things on science and anatomy, not gimmicks and bs. If you communicate and are open minded you can crush your goals. If you don’t, you won’t. It’s that simple.
My offerings are unlike other peoples because I take the complete guesswork out of their goals for them. I simplify the difficult and put them in positions to succeed no matter where they’re starting or working out.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
All of these clients I’ve had 10, 15, going on 20 years have become family. Things I wouldn’t have imagined in the beginning. Everyone is fighting their own battles and my job is to sometimes help them weather the storm, but also help them carry on.
