Benjamin Frank

Before becoming an exercise physiologist, Ben worked as a personal trainer for approximately 10 years, with a focus on weight loss, general fitness, muscle building and musculoskeletal rehabilitation alongside a physiotherapist.

Ben moved to Gympie at the end of 2023 from Melbourne where he completed two bachelor degrees in Science and Exercise and Sports Science followed by a Masters in Clinical Exercise Physiology at Deakin University.

During his university internships Ben was privileged to work with junior high-level athletes in strength and conditioning as well as in clinical and hospital settings working with orthopaedic, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular, neurological and mental health patients.

Ben has always had a passion for the gym environment and helping people through exercise, particularly in the midst of physical injuries and mental adversities.

In 2022, he nearly lost his arm in a bike accident, which required surgery. This alongside personal experiences with chronic back pain, sciatica and several lower limb injuries have not only improved his knowledge and application of rehabilitation on a personal level, but have also developed a passion for supporting others experiencing physical and mental challenges in their own healing and growth journeys.

He has a particular interest in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, mental health, metabolic health (diabetes, PCOS, cancer, eating disorders) and working with athletes and defence veterans.

Ben believes mindset is everything and has a strong focus on building relationships with clients to empower them to achieve sustainable, life-changing results, both physically and mentally.

Ben is available for exercise physiology consults at our Gympie clinic.
