Ben Diefenderfer

Ben came to coaching to grow as an athlete and to help his community do the same — and he's done both. With six years of CrossFit experience and a fun-but-focused approach, Ben keeps his classes moving and his athletes improving. He made growth a daily habit, and it shows. His coaching style may be relaxed, but don't mistake that for a lack of standards — he holds them high.

Coaching style: Fun. Relaxed but serious.

‍Philosophy: Keep moving. Scale if you need to — just don't give up.

‍Favorite movement: Burpees — for the feeling of recovering from the pain they inflict

‍Outside the gym: Reading, walking, riding bikes with his kids, and playing whatever goofy game they come up with

‍Hype song: Still searching for the perfect one
