Ben established Handspring Gymnastics in mid-2016, with the aim of using the last 25+ years’ experience in gymnastics (with 17 of those being a coach in both competitive & adult gymnastics) to help others achieve specific goals as it pertains to gymnastics strength, skill and mobility.
Whether it’s improving your overall bodyweight strength, core capacity and mobility or mastering skills like handstands and muscle-ups, Handspring has it all covered through a selection of different adult classes on offer (along with online programs, workshops & personal training) Ben was a competitive gymnast at the highest level (senior international) competing for Australia at the World University Games in 2007. During the 2008 Australian National Championships, Ben placed 6th overall with a 3rd place finish on the Pommel Horse. Ben’s tenor in competitive gymnastics spanned 17+ years and included a 10-month training stint overseas at the University of Calgary. Following retirement from competitive gymnastics in 2009, Ben was selected into the National Talent Identification Program for Flat Water Sprint Kayaking where, through hard work and dedication, was selected to represent Australia at the World University Championships in late 2010. In mid-2012, Ben commenced training at CrossFit Athletic, where it wasn’t too long before he realised there was a real opportunity in helping people with their kipping gymnastic skill work and strength. In January 2017, Ben commenced contract work as the ‘Gymnastic Coach’ for The Training Plan (an online fitness training program), providing specific gymnastic strength programming as well as numerous video tutorials on various gymnastic skills & drills. In November 2017, Ben had the opportunity (via The Training Plan) to meet and coach both Annie Thorisdottir and Björgvin Karl Gudmundsson from Iceland - two of the best athletes in the world. |
