Few people can claim to have overcome challenges as formidable as those faced by Ben Densmore, CEO of Blueprint Fitness. In a tale that encapsulates the essence of unwavering perseverance and unyielding determination, Ben's journey from personal tragedy to record-breaking fitness professional is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Ben's story began in Colombia, where he was shot three times and faced not one but two comas. Though he miraculously survived these harrowing experiences, the second coma left him without the ability to speak or remember anything from his past. Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Ben refused to give up. His faith in Jesus and the belief that he was kept alive for a reason fueled his determination to overcome these setbacks.
After countless hours of grueling occupational therapy, Ben gradually regained his speech and memory. Through this process, he discovered an unwavering passion for fitness and its transformative potential. Ben recognized that fitness had given him a second chance at life, and he made it his mission to help others experience the same life-changing benefits.
Ben soon excelled in the fitness industry. Blueprint Fitness, Ben's brainchild, was born out of his desire to make a difference in the lives of busy male professionals. Ben’s process includes taking the time to get to know each of his clients personally so that he can better understand the obstacles they are facing on their weight loss journey before creating customized plans tailored toward how best to meet those challenges.
The company offers an online coaching program that focuses on creating these custom plans for busy professionals that easily fit into their lifestyles. The plans include custom workout schedules with videos showing how to do each exercise, meal plans that allow the clients to still eat “bad food” (Ben emphasizes taking the “die” out of dieting), and weekly one-on-one check-ins. He also provides 24-hour accountability. As a result, Ben has successfully transformed the lives of over 475 individuals.
Ben's personal journey has not been without its share of struggles. His second coma, subsequent memory loss, and speech impairment were undoubtedly his biggest challenges. However, his tenacity and unyielding spirit allowed him to overcome these obstacles and emerge stronger than ever.
Based on his past, the wisdom Ben shares with others is a testament to his own experiences: never quit or give up hope. He encourages everyone to take the time to appreciate the beauty in life and not to be constantly rushing from one thing to the next. This perspective has not only guided him through his own trials but also continues to inspire those around him.
Looking towards the future, Ben envisions Blueprint Fitness as a staple in the online coaching world, specializing in fat loss for tech professionals. He dreams of expanding the brand to include a line of fitness merchandise and supplements, further cementing its position as a leader in the fitness industry.
Ben Densmore's inspiring path to fitness success serves as a powerful reminder that, with unwavering perseverance and a steadfast belief in oneself, it is possible to overcome even the most daunting challenges. His story is a testament to the transformative power of fitness and the unyielding spirit of human determination. As the CEO of Blueprint Fitness, Ben continues to change countless lives, offering hope and inspiration to all who cross his path.
