Ben Gleason, born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina, is not just a CrossFit coach—he’s the proud owner of a gym that’s been going strong for 12 years and counting! With a lifelong passion for sports and fitness, Ben discovered CrossFit over a decade ago and knew it was more than just a workout—it was the ultimate vehicle to transform lives. Since opening the doors to his gym, Ben has been on a mission to inspire, motivate, and create a community where people can thrive.

For Ben, fitness isn’t a quick fix; it’s a lifelong journey, and he understands it’s not one you tackle alone. That’s why he’s dedicated to building a tight-knit community where people can share goals, support one another, and celebrate every victory—big or small. It’s that sense of connection and belonging that keeps the gym’s doors open and the energy alive after all these years.

As a coach, Ben has a proven track record of helping athletes achieve greatness. He’s a Level 2 CrossFit Trainer who has guided a Masters athlete to consecutive CrossFit Games victories and coached a team athlete to compete on the world stage. Beyond that, he’s a USAW Level 1 Sports Performance Coach, FMS Level 1 Certified, and holds a long list of CrossFit specialties, including Strongman, Weightlifting, Gymnastics, Endurance, Running, Teaching Movement, Scaling, Spot the Flaw, Nutrition 1, Lesson Planning, Dumbbells, and Training Pregnant/Postpartum athletes. Oh, and he’s CPR/AED certified—because safety is always a priority.
