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 weightlifting, 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.

Jackson Jenkins
As a kid, I struggled to maintain a healthy balance, which propelled me to work toward a healthier lifestyle. I was not only committed to improving my own well-being, but I also encouraged my friends to do the same—whether at the gym or outdoors. I love helping people build confidence in their abilities, discover their strength, become happier, and find pride in all they’ve accomplished.

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.
