Your coach
Meet Ben.
Formerly Coach Conacher, Ben has spent four years coaching everyone from complete beginners to marathon runners and Everest base-camp trekkers, amateur athletes, and clients returning to training after surgery — through 1-2-1, 2-2-1, and group coaching. He spent four of those years at Liverpool John Moores University, rising from part-time gym staff to Healthy Lifestyles & Fitness Manager, running the fitness class programme and leading wellbeing and mental health initiatives across the university. A lifelong footballer and golfer, Ben trains for the same explosiveness and power he coaches into every session.
Classes at Venture Comber are built entirely around the kettlebell — in a small facility, it's the most efficient way to keep everyone coached and moving rather than queuing for a rack, while still delivering serious strength, conditioning, and resilience work. 1-2-1 PT sessions go wider, using barbells, dumbbells, and whatever the goal actually calls for.
After eight years in Liverpool, Ben is relocating back to Northern Ireland with his young family to build Venture Comber from the ground up — with plans to grow into a larger facility as the business expands.
