Common questions
What is the difference between Membership and Monthly Coaching?
The Membership is everything Ben has built, on demand. Monthly Coaching is all of that plus a call with Ben each month to work through your own training.
Do the plans renew automatically?
Yes. Monthly and yearly both renew until you cancel, and you can cancel any time from your account. Your access runs to the end of the period you have already paid for.
Can I just buy one program?
Yes. Individual programs are available in the store if you only need one thing. The membership is far better value if you want more than one.
What about one-off technique reviews?
Those are separate from the membership and are listed further down this page. Send your footage and Ben sends back a breakdown, no subscription needed.
