I was always worried about getting too big and weight training, and the opposite happened. I am leaner and tighter than I was in my twenties.

Training with Ben is the most fun you’ll have while getting your ass kicked. He’s super knowledgeable and knows how to make efficient adjustments to get the best out of me.

I had the privilege to work with Ben for four summers. I’m lucky to have had the chance to train with him.

When I met Ben, I was blown away with his knowledge about the human body and how each workout ties back to how I move on the court, all while being a great motivator and life coach.

Ben Bruno is the best in the business. I’ve watched him transform NBA players during their off-seasons for years.

If you didn’t already know that Ben Bruno is one of the best trainers in the world, I’m living proof. He’s made me strong, and kept me slim and healthy for many years now.

My favorite thing about Ben is his practical attitude towards fitness. He doesn’t make workouts so hard that I can’t walk the next day.

Hi, I'm Ben Bruno.

I’m a trainer in Los Angeles. I work with an extremely wide range of clients: from professional athletes, to musicians, to actors, to models, to my mom.

My ideal client is anyone with a goal, a positive attitude, and a willingness to work hard.

If you fit those parameters and you’d like to train on the same programs as my in-person clients, sign up below. That’s really it.

A Few Highlights

  • The only trainer who is an advisor for both Men's Health and Women's Health
  • 15+ years coaching in person, every day
  • Programs written the same way for everyone, celebrity or not

The Program Works,
If You Do.

No 30-day miracles. Just properly designed full-body strength training, 2 to 4 days a week, 45 to 60 minutes, with every exercise broken all the way down so you know what it should look like, where you should feel it, common mistakes to avoid, and how much weight to use.

You keep your life, just get stronger, more toned, and move and feel better.

One Plan At A Time.

Nobody here is a before-and-after photo. Training goes way beyond just physical transformation. These are real people who kept training because the plan made sense and was sustainable.

★★★★★

“I’d done the same three machines for two years because I was too embarrassed to ask anyone anything. The videos meant I didn’t have to ask. Week one I actually knew what I was doing.”

Priya M.The Starter Pack · Women’s
★★★★★

“Came back from a shoulder problem that took eight months. I was scared to press anything overhead. The substitutions let me train around it instead of stopping again.”

Marcus D.The Starter Pack · Men’s
★★★★★

“Three days a week fits my life. That’s the whole review. Every other plan wanted five and I’d quit by week two, every time.”

Aoife K.The Starter Pack · Women’s
★★★★★

“The tracking is the part I didn’t know I needed. I open the app and it tells me what I lifted last time. No notes app, no guessing, no scrolling back through photos.”

Tomás R.The Sequel · Trains at a gym
★★★★★

“Nine months postpartum and terrified of doing something wrong. I started with the beginner program. Twelve weeks looked long on paper and turned out to be exactly right.”

Hannah B.Intro To Strength Training
★★★★★

“I’ve bought four of them now. Owning them is the entire point — I redid the Starter Pack last winter after falling off, and it was just sitting there waiting for me.”

Deshawn W.Owns four programs
★★★★★

“My husband and I both run it, him on the men’s version. We’re in the garage with two dumbbells and a bench and neither of us has been stuck once.”

Ingrid S.The Starter Pack · Trains at home
★★★★★

“Skeptical is putting it mildly, I’ve wasted real money on fitness apps. This one has a start, an end and a plan, which turns out to be all I ever wanted.”

Rafael O.The Starter Pack · Men’s
★★★★★

“Nobody warns you that the warm-ups are the good part. My hips haven’t felt like this since I was twenty-five, and I’m forty-one.”

Mei-Lin C.The Starter Pack · Women’s
★★★★★

“Forty-five minutes, in and out, four days a week. I’m a dad with a commute. If it took ninety minutes I would not be writing this.”

Jonas H.The Trilogy · Trains at a gym
★★★★★

“The cue about where you’re supposed to feel it got me. I’d been doing hip thrusts for a year feeling them entirely in my lower back and not one person told me.”

Camila V.The Starter Pack · Women’s
★★★★★

“Finished it and immediately started again. Second time through everything moved better, and I put 35 lbs on my trap bar deadlift without a single session that felt brutal.”

Yusuf A.The Starter Pack · Men’s
★★★★★

“I’m 54 and I have never once been strong. I am now, a bit, and that word doing any work at all in a sentence about me is completely new.”

Bridget N.Intro To Strength Training
★★★★★

“The 7 out of 10 idea changed how I train. I used to go to failure on everything and then need four days off. Now I just train again on Thursday.”

Nikolai P.The Grand Slam · Trains at a gym
★★★★★

“Bought it in a sale, sat on it for four months, finally started in January. The only thing I’m annoyed about is the four months.”

Zara T.The Starter Pack · Women’s
★★★★★

“I work offshore, three weeks on. Everything downloads, and there’s a substitution for every single thing we don’t have in the gym out here. It just works.”

Callum F.The Sequel · Trains at home
★★★★★

“I’m not a before-and-after person and I don’t have one. What I have is a deadlift that went from 95 lbs to 185 lbs and stairs that don’t bother me anymore.”

Anaïs L.The Starter Pack · Women’s
★★★★★

“Bad lower back for a decade, two physios, no answers. Six weeks in it isn’t gone, but it’s quiet, and I finally know which things make it worse.”

Devon G.The Starter Pack · Men’s
★★★★★

“My gym is packed at six and half the racks are taken. The substitutions meant I stopped standing around waiting. Small thing that changed everything.”

Sofia E.The Sequel · Trains at a gym
★★★★★

“Been lifting since college, mostly badly. This is the first program where somebody actually explained why the order of the exercises matters.”

Omar H.The Trilogy · Men’s
★★★★★

“Third round now, same six weeks, heavier every time. My entire gym personality is telling people about this and I refuse to be sorry about it.”

Greta J.The Starter Pack · Women’s

Rented Workouts
Vs. Yours Forever.

Most apps give you access to a library for as long as you keep paying. I'd rather sell you one plan, once, and have it belong to you forever, so you can do it on your own time and repeat it as many times as you want.

Most Other Apps

  • Access runs for as long as your membership does
  • A big library to browse through, rather than one plan to follow
  • Workouts written by a content team rather than the actual coach
  • Fine if you want variety and you already know what you're doing
What I do instead
What I do instead

Bruno Strong

  • One payment, then the program is yours
  • Lifetime access, including future updates
  • A real 6 or 12-week plan with a beginning and an end
  • Written by me, the same way I program for the clients I see every day
  • Repeat it as many times as you want, at no extra cost

Frequently Asked
Questions.

The questions people actually email about, answered the way I'd answer them in the gym.

Is this a subscription?

No. You buy a program once and it is yours for life, including any future updates to it. There is no monthly fee and nothing expires if you take a few months off.

I'm a complete beginner. Where do I start?

Take the second door: Intro to Strength Training. It's 12 weeks instead of 6 on purpose, because beginners learn through repetition, and every exercise is broken down from scratch. If you have any doubt at all, start there. Nobody has ever regretted building the foundation first.

I've trained before. Do I still need the beginner program?

Almost certainly not. If you've lifted at all, even casually, start with The Starter Pack. It assumes you can find your way around a gym but not that you know how to program for yourself.

What equipment do I need?

A basic home or commercial gym setup, primarily dumbbells and a bench. The equipment page covers the specifics program by program.

How long are the workouts?

About 45 minutes to an hour, 2 to 4 days a week depending on the program. They're designed so you don't have to give your life over to the gym.

Can I train at home?

Yes, if you have dumbbells and a bench. Substitutions are built in for the movements that need equipment you may not have.

iPhone or Android?

Both. Your programs live in your library and work on either, including offline once downloaded.

What if an exercise hurts or I'm working around an injury?

Never push through pain. Every exercise comes with a regression to make it easier or gentler, and you can swap or skip anything that doesn't feel right. If you're working around an injury, check with your physician first.

Which program comes after the one I'm doing?

The ladder runs Starter Pack → The Sequel → The Trilogy → The Grand Slam → The 5th Gear, with Intro to Strength Training before all of it. The app tells you what's next when you finish. See the full ladder.

Three Steps.
That's It.

From landing on this page to training in the gym, there is nothing else to figure out.

01

Pick Your Program

Two questions in the path above: your version, and where you're starting. Most people start with The Starter Pack.

02

Train In The App

Every workout laid out day by day, every exercise on video, your weights tracked automatically. Gym or home.

03

Own It Forever

One payment, lifetime access. Repeat it, pause it, come back in a year. It stays in your library either way.
