In today's we talk about Personal Trainer/Gym General Manager, Ben Wisler Sr. While Ben started working in the fitness industry back in 2011 in Seymour, IN; he will say his fitness journey started much longer ago as an overweight pre-teen he turned to golf to help him first loose weight. He lost 70 lbs between his 8th and 9th grade year by walking the course, and by his own admission, not properly dieting. So he struggled over the next few years with his weight yoyoing until he finally got the bug while working in California and signed up for his first marathon with 12 weeks to train and 1st half with 3 weeks to train when he was told "he could not do it" back in 2008.
He has always liked to strive for what has seemed out of reach and some of his running highlights include finishing 10+ marathons, 20+ half marathon, 1 ultra, qualified and ran the Boston Marathon in 2016 and won the Indiana Timing Race Series 3X.
Some of his golf highlights include winning the 2015 Seymour City Championship, 2022 Shadowood Club Championship, 2024 Hickory Hills Couples Club Championship, 2026 Hickory Hills Club Champion, 5X Seymour Country Club Championship, & 5X Indiana Open Qualifier.
His current certifications include ISSA CPT, Class A PGA Professional, TRX Yellow Rank II, TRX STC/GTC/RTC/SMTC, TRX Yoga Certified, NCCPT Senior Fitness Specialist, RRCA Rank 2 Certified Running Coach, Certified ISSA Corrective Exercise Specialist, First Tee Coach.
In his spare time he enjoys coaching PGA Jr League in Seymour, 2026 was his 14th season in being the longest running PGA Jr League Program in Indiana.
