# BS Wellbeing
BS Wellbeing is a London-based strength coaching practice run by Ben Savin, specialising in ancient and unconventional training tools that most commercial gyms ignore. Using Persian meels, Indian clubs, sang shields, Bulgarian bags and stones, Ben offers a radically different approach to building strength—one rooted in movement, rhythm and functional resilience rather than mirrors and machines.
The business serves people who are bored with conventional gym culture, those recovering from injury, and anyone seeking training that prioritises consent, inclusion and fun over ego. Ben has carved out a distinctive niche coaching queer and trans clients in strongman training, deliberately stripping away the machismo that typically dominates the sport. His approach is beginner-friendly and explicitly trauma-informed; prior lifting experience, a certain body type, or gym enthusiasm are entirely unnecessary.
What sets BS Wellbeing apart is its unapologetic commitment to accessibility and joy. Sessions are low-pressure, injury-aware, and designed around individual needs rather than rigid programming. The ancient tools themselves offer genuine functional benefits—building shoulder resilience, improving coordination and grip strength whilst feeling playful rather than punishing. Beyond one-to-one coaching, Ben runs workshops in specific tools, offers fascia therapy for rehab, and hosts corporate and private events. Everything operates from Commando Temple in SE London, creating a welcoming, anti-establishment space where strength training looks and feels genuinely different.
