Health & Boxing Coach (Ben Keam)

In season 4, episode 2 we sat down with Coach Keam. 

An impressive man with wisdom beyond his years, Ben Keam shares his journey from growing up in Tasmania to his passion for the health and fitness industry which led him to the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Bali and finally to settling here in Perth. 

But it has been a tough ride at times. After a scooter crash, termite-infested villa and difficulty securing jobs, he and his now fiancé, Bernadette, almost gave it all up whilst in Bali. A chance meeting with a tattooed entrepreneur in a boxing gym was the sliding door moment that turned it all around. 

Ben talks about the things he's learned along the way; both about himself and within the industry he is so passionate about. Ben has found boxing an amazing outlet for him,  alongside boxing sessions, he has created a space for men to be vulnerable and talk about challenges going on in their own lives.  

An interesting look into the life of someone who hasn't necessarily done things by the book and who has had to rebuild and start afresh in a new city more than once, Ben's story is a must for anyone needing a little inspiration, or curious about starting their own business in the fitness industry.
