meet the founder
I’m ben.
I’ve been a PT for 15 years now.
I coached from so many different gyms and never felt quite right as an LGBTQ person in the fitness industry.
I found the commando temple, an intimidating - looking gym, which happens to have the most supportive community within it.
I thrive here, not ashamed of being bi and i knew it was time to spread the love with the community.
i started pride in strength so queer and trans people can have a space to explore the gym without stigma attached to it in commercial gym spaces.
I and sophie are experienced coaches so we can meet everyone regardless of their gym experience where they are and have fun whilst doing it!
