Fitness COACH
Ben Staniszewski is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology along with a Certificate in Sports Communication. During his time at UW–Madison, Ben gained hands-on experience working with athletes as a trainer in a collegiate fitness setting, developing a strong foundation in exercise science, strength training, and athletic performance.
 

After college, Ben spent several years at MASH Performance, where he served as the Head High School Strength and Conditioning Coach and worked extensively with high rotational athletes ranging from youth players to college-bound recruits. He designed and implemented training programs focused on developing strength, power, speed, mobility, athleticism, and movement quality. Working with rotational athletes gave Ben a particular appreciation for rotational power, efficient movement, force production, and the importance of building a strong physical foundation that translates directly to sport performance.

At SMART Golf & Fitness Instruction, Ben brings his performance background into the golf environment by helping clients improve the physical qualities that contribute to a more efficient and powerful golf swing. He believes that developing strength, mobility, stability, balance, and power can help golfers not only perform better, but also move and feel better both on and off the course. Ben takes an individualized approach to training and enjoys helping each client understand how their body can become an asset to their golf game.

Outside of coaching, Ben enjoys lifting, watching sports, and spending time with friends and family. Having recently moved to Chicago, he is enjoying exploring the city, discovering new places, and becoming part of the Chicago community.

"I have become a much more consistent golfer after working on my game with SMART Golf & Fitness. The facility is unparalleled in Chicago and I'm able to work on almost every aspect of my game using the latest tech. The gym is equally impressive and, working with Blake Denney, I've been able to significantly improve my balance and range of motion, which has helped me remove a lot of the "corrections" I had put into my swing to compensate. I can't recommend these guys enough!"

"Would highly recommend to anyone at any level of skill. The guys at SMART Golf & Fitness are first class professionals who know how to push you just hard enough to achieve your goals. I’ve taken lessons before and saw few long term results but SMART Golf’s program has changed the way I think about the game and how I play it for good. A huge thanks to everyone involved."
