Meet the BE STRONG Team
BEN EISENMENGER, Owner
Thanks to all the years of education and competing at a high level, I have developed the skills needed to coach others from entry level to performance athletes. I have been honored to coach others to complete StrongFirst certifications, win state championships, set KY state records, national records, and world records in strongman and powerlifting.
When not training myself or others, I like to spend time with my wife and three children. I have always incorporated my family into my fitness goals, often training while my children are running around me. We all eat as healthy as possible and spend most of our time away from technology and enjoying the outdoors and playing sports. I plan to live a long, healthy life even when my competition days are done.

Cami Spellman
I have been active my whole life through softball and mainly volleyball. Through those sports, my parents taught me the importance of taking care of my body with proper fuel and activities—whether through sports or outdoor adventures. After retiring from volleyball, I discovered a passion for the gym, which gave me confidence and a meaningful outlet. By creating a fun, supportive, and empowering environment, I am dedicated to helping others build that same confidence and love for fitness.

Michael Bowmer
My passion for training was inspired by my own journey through strength training, beginning with powerlifting and evolving into performance and physique. I realized how important fitness is—not just for the body, but also for a healthy mindset and confidence. Beyond that, the amount of misinformation on the internet can be overwhelming, and I hope to cut through the noise by showing people proven methods to reach their goals. I am most passionate about helping clients get strong, build muscle, and develop a body that both looks and performs with power. Whatever a client’s goal may be, I’m all in. Watching clients transform physically and mentally—gaining strength, confidence, and control over their bodies—is what drives me most.

Michelle Cox (Online Coach)
With over 20 years of experience in strength training and fitness, I have trained across multiple disciplines, including powerlifting, strongman, kettlebell sport, and general fitness. My passion for fitness is rooted in both years of hands-on experience and my own personal weight loss and body recomposition journey, giving my firsthand understanding of the challenges, setbacks, and victories that come with creating lasting change. My view on fitness isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about building strength, confidence, and sustainable habits that fit your lifestyle. Whether your goal is fat loss, building strength, improving performance, or simply feeling healthier and stronger, I will create a personalized plan while providing the knowledge, accountability, and support you need to succeed. My mission is to help you not only reach your goals, but enjoy the process and build a healthier, stronger version of yourself for the long term.

Glory Batubo
My passion for fitness has been lifelong. I started off with every sports/games I could involve myself with in high school until I started taking soccer seriously. Later in life I progressed to marathon running, downhill mounting biking, and swimming laps all while keeping a steady progress in my overall strength, wellness and conditioning at the gym. My goal as a trainer is to replicate my progress for others who aspire to reach those levels of fitness and overall wellness through mindful, goal oriented, individualized coaching.

Brandon Beebe (Online Coach)
My passion for coaching comes from my own journey through strength training and strongman. Competing in this sport has taught me that becoming stronger is about more than lifting heavy weights, it requires discipline, consistency, confidence, and the willingness to keep working when things get difficult. Strongman can feel overwhelming, especially with so much conflicting information about programming, technique, recovery, and competition preparation. My goal is to simplify that process by giving athletes clear, individualized coaching built around their experience, equipment, lifestyle, and goals. I am most passionate about helping athletes improve their technique, build complete strength, address weaknesses, and become confident competitors. Whether someone is preparing for their first contest, chasing a personal record, or trying to reach the next level in the sport, I am fully invested in their progress. Watching athletes grow stronger physically and mentally and accomplish things they once thought were impossible.

John Dyer (Online Coach)
Growing up, football and basketball were a major part of my life. As I entered my 20s, I found powerlifting, which gave me that competitive drive back. After competing for several years, I stepped back from powerlifting and shifted my focus to strongman following an injury. Over the last 3 years of online coaching, my mission has been helping athletes grow physically and mentally resilient as meet day approaches. Whether your goal is to step on the platform or build ultimate real-world strength, I’ll tailor the process to bring out your absolute best, no matter your starting point.
