Hello, my name is Austin Benjamin. I have been in the health and fitness industry for over 15 years. I have trained over 1000 people to help them reach their fitness goals. I have worked with pro-athletes, young children, senior citizens and everyone in between. My goal is to bring health awareness to the Hudson Valley by keeping it all about YOU. That is why I decided to make Essential Fitness a small, intimate, friendly, yet motivating environment.
Our training and classes are for every shape, size, age and fitness level. We may be a small studio, but our motivation and ambitions are HUGE!
