Founder Ben Unger — Founder of BUF Personal Training NYC
NASM CPT · NASM Nutrition Coach

Ben

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Ben found his passion for fitness when he realized the impact it had on him as a person in all aspects of life, especially his mental health.

I had a really difficult early twenties, to the point where I required medication just to function mentally. The fitness lifestyle completely changed my life. I have been medicine free for 5 years now, and have never felt happier or more in control of my life. I'm committed to now give that same feeling to others.

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Ted discovered his passion for fitness in 2010, working overnight shifts at a local gym while taking morning classes.

Helping clients discover their strength — physically, mentally and emotionally — is what drives me. Seeing someone push past their limits, reach goals, and gain confidence is the most rewarding part of my day. Fitness isn't just a career for me. It's a way to empower people to take control of their lives.

Camila

Born and raised in Cali, Colombia, Camila found her passion for fitness after years of battling with her mental health and low self-esteem.

I decided I'd had enough and chose to take control of who I was going to be. I educated myself on everything fitness and health, and have become strong, both physically and mentally, from my journey. Now the most rewarding part of my fitness journey is having the opportunity to share my knowledge with others.

Aloy — Personal Trainer at BUF NYC
NCSF CPT · Pre & Post Natal Personal Trainer

Aloy

Raised in Singapore, Aloy found his passion for fitness at a very young age and hasn't looked back since.

Fitness is just as much about the process as it is about the end result. It's about personal growth, perseverance, and reaching our potential. Helping people reach their fitness goals is just a metaphor for their real growth, their inner growth. Oh, and I love helping people look snatched!

Doug — Personal Trainer at BUF NYC
NASM Certified Personal Trainer

Doug

A Central New York native, Doug picked up his first dumbbell while pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. He has since found his purpose in using his past struggles with his body and mental health to help people get stronger in more ways than one.

It was when I stepped into the gym that I was able to release the need to be a perfect person and work on being the best version of myself. Giving others that same experience and watching them crush their goals is hands down the best part of my day.
