Ben Williams

I joined Marjon University in 2021 to pursue my passion for working in sport and to gain my personal training qualifications. The small group lectures at Marjon proved invaluable, offering plenty of hands-on experience and direct contact time with lecturers, which helped me build a great practical foundation.

As part of my studies, I completed a work-based learning placement in a private personal training studio. This experience allowed me to work with clients in a safe and supportive environment and gave me the confidence to continue for an additional three months after the placement ended, further developing my skills.

After graduating, I was fortunate to begin my career at Nuffield Health Devonshire as a Wellbeing Personal Trainer. This role marked an important step in applying my academic knowledge to real-world practice and supporting clients in achieving their health and fitness goals.

Now, two years into my career, I coach 25 clients on a weekly basis and also lead the junior football programme. These responsibilities have allowed me to grow as a professional and continue making a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of my community.
