Micale, Instructor

    • 1 year of fitness instruction and training at BBP
    • Pursuing ACE certification
    • BS Metro State College

Expertise: Conditioning and toning

Micale has participated in sports most of her life. At the age of 7, she was a gymnast for 5 years and dancer for 7 years. She also played softball for 6 years during middle and high school. While playing softball, she developed a passion for lifting weights. She loved pushing herself and seeing the results of challenging her muscles. In college, she focused her attention more on lifting weights. And since then, she's been hooked. "I'm constantly educating myself on new techniques and movements, as well as learning as much as possible about the benefits of proper nutrition combined with training hard. When I'm not in the gym, I hike as much as possible...anything to be outside, taking in beautiful Colorado. Staying active and living a healthy lifestyle is essential for all of us - and at BBP, we always practice what we preach."

Ben, Instructor

    • 1st year of fitness instruction and 2 years training at BBP
    • Pursuing ACE certification
    • Masters Pursuant CU Boulder, BS Western Carolina University

Expertise: Conditioning

I was born in Colorado, raised in North Carolina and came back “home” in Jan of 2010. I have always enjoyed working out and staying active. I grew up playing baseball (catcher) and football (fullback and Middle Linebacker). I had every intention to continue to play football through college but things didn’t work out and I ballooned up to 245 pounds. I have since dedicated a large portion of my life to getting back into shape and leading a healthy lifestyle. With that I have recently joined the BBP competition team in hopes of bringing home another first place trophy. I work for a large financial planning firm downtown and am currently working towards my MBA at CU Boulder. My true passion however is fitness and I would love to leave corporate America and open my own gym some day. In my free time (which there isn’t much of) I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, Rockies games, traveling, and giving back to the community (most recently traveled to Joplin to help with the tornado clean up effort). I love to laugh and enjoy being around people. You will rarely see me without a smile on my face. Lets just face it…Im pretty freakin’ awesome!!!
