An Interview with Our Personal Trainer, Bennett!

Keep reading to learn what inspired Bennett to pursue a career in health and fitness, how her background shapes her approach to coaching, and why she is passionate about helping people build strength, move with confidence, and reach their goals!

What or who inspired you to choose your career path? I fell in love with moving my own body through seasons of grief and was moved to share the power and joy of movement with others.

Why do you love what you do? I love the opportunity to share the joy of movement with my clients and seeing the enjoyment reflected on their faces when they start feeling strong and seeing improvements in their life.

What is something surprising you have learned in your field, if anything? It surprises me that more physical therapists do not work directly with personal trainers. It creates such wonderful resource for clients and patients as they transition from injury, back to daily activities and sports!

What is frustrating for you in your field, or something you wish the general public could know about what you do? There is sometimes a narrative that training always feels hard and sometimes even miserable. In reality there are so many options and avenues to pursue within personal training that anyone can find something in the intersection of challenge and enjoyment.

Charleston is a hot spot destination—what is one of your go-to places for food, a drink, or entertainment? I was born and raised on James Island so I love the Terrace Theater and 1/2 price burger Wednesdays at Bohemian Bull. Jack Rabbit Filly is my absolute favorite restaurant in the Charleston area.

What book are you currently reading? I am currently reading Signs by Laura Lynn Jackson and Yellowface by R. F. Kuang.

Bennett believes fitness should be personalized, sustainable, and empowering. Whether you're returning to exercise after an injury, looking to improve your performance, or simply wanting to feel stronger in everyday life, she's committed to helping you move better and reach your goals with confidence!
