BENJAMIN ABRAHAM

Benjamin has always been a very physical person, growing up he played Ice Hockey to a Bantam state level whilst also assistant coaching Atom and Peewee level hockey.

Benjamin got into lifting weights at the age of 15 and has never looked back. At age 17, he enlisted into the Australian Army as a Rifleman and went on to specialise as a Reconnaissance Patrolman. The extremely high level of combat fitness required for this specialisation is something that Benjamin has never let go of and continues to bring this high level of fitness to the Rush Hour family.

Benjamin has a deep passion for not only increasing the strength, technique and fitness of all those he coaches but also improving the positive mindset, self-talk and determination of all those who are a part of Rush Hour.

To Benjamin; Crossfit is one of the closest forms of training that is similar to fitness training in the Army. Being able to build strength, fitness and mental determination while surrounded by your mates and having a good old laugh with them once you’ve recovered enough to pick yourself up off the floor.
