About Coach

Ben Wadwell has been in the fitness industry since 2008 and has owned Feel Good Health and Performance since 2014. He grew up competing at high levels in both cricket and golf, and went on to compete at the highest level of CrossFit in Australia and New Zealand.

He has a family. He knows what it means to be time-poor, stressed, and still needing to train. He built FGHP because he couldn't stand watching people hand over their money to gyms that gave them nothing in return. No coaching, no accountability, no results.

Every member at FGHP is coached, tracked, and followed up on. That's not a feature. It's the whole point.

Turning Point

I have always played sports from a young age including representative golf and cricket, so being able to train with a group was just what I was looking for. All my sports at a young age led me into the fitness world where my passion grew through running Bootcamps and Personal Training, eventually leading me to find CrossFit.

There have been many turning points over the years, from enjoying the class environment when I was getting started to competing in CrossFit at a high level to now enjoying training once a day so I can be the best role model for my son.

Motivation & Passion

I became a CrossFit trainer to devote myself to helping people achieve a superior fitness level and life through the implementation of the CrossFit methodology, sharing my passion for CrossFit with them, teaching new skills/movements and providing excellent service.
