  Upon meeting Ben Arnett, one thing is clearly evident - he is there to work with you and make sure your wellness needs, no matter how big or small, are met with ease and certainty. He makes customer service and total satisfaction his keystones in every business deal. Ben started his journey in 2001, working for Fitness Unlimited in Houston, Texas, as a retail store manager for over four years. Ben left Fitness Unlimited to try his hand in corporate sales and service for Grainer Industrial Supply, where he was responsible for growing a sizeable client base, and ensuring an upward growth in the revenue month-to-month and year-to-year. Prior to joining the AEE team, Ben returned to Fitness Unlimited where he was the Director of Commercial Sales for Fitness Unlimited and Busy Body Fitness in Houston, Texas. We are certain you will not find a more genuine, easy going fitness consultant than Ben Arnett. When Ben is not out in the field, you can find him spending time with his wife and three kids hanging around the house shooting Nerf guns at his two boys and little girl (who is one of the boys as far as she is concerned) from behind a makeshift fort in the living room. “I look forward to partnering with you on all your health and wellness needs,” Ben Arnett.
