057 - The Power of Grit, Growth, and Gym Life with Ben Galloway - The Health Movement Podcast

In Episode 057 of The Health Movement Podcast, Benjamin Galloway shares his journey from HVAC job sites and failed online certifications to opening Beast Mode Bootcamp — a thriving gym in New Jersey with over 400 members and a mission to bring community back to fitness.

“I used to hand out weights at my dad’s gym when I was 12. Now I’m building an empire.”

Ben’s story is one of perseverance, vision, and raw belief. Raised by a bodybuilder dad, surrounded by Flex magazines and boiled chicken, fitness was always part of his DNA. But it wasn’t until hitting dead ends in construction, HVAC, and warehouse jobs that he took a leap into personal training — failing his ISSA test the first time, learning to sell at LA Fitness, and eventually discovering his calling at Anytime Fitness.

When the pandemic threatened to derail everything, Ben used the shutdown as fuel — launching outdoor bootcamps, building his following from the ground up, and eventually creating the gym of his dreams. Now, Beast Mode Bootcamp blends the community energy of F45 with the freedom of a traditional gym — and Ben’s already looking to franchise.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:
 ✅ How the pandemic sparked the launch of Beast Mode Bootcamp
 ✅ Ben’s philosophy on blending community and grit in fitness
 ✅ The entrepreneurial lessons learned through gym ownership
 ✅ His vision for franchising and launching multiple fitness-related apps
 ✅ How books, discipline, and high standards keep him grounded

Whether you're a trainer, entrepreneur, or someone chasing a dream, Ben’s story is proof that relentless energy, belief, and consistency can turn a setback into a launchpad.
