Meet The Owners

Benjamin Villalon

Hi, I’m Benjamin, commonly referred to as “Benji”. I’ve always been a caretaker and have the desire to help people not just physically but how they feel internally. After realizing that medical school wasn’t for me, I decided to start my own personal training business which allows me the freedom and flexibility to personally accompany my clients on their journey to improve their health and wellbeing. Establishing life lasting personal relationships is what drives me and fuels my passion for the health and fitness industry. Being able to see my client’s results and transformation is the cherry on top.

Throughout my fitness journey, I have competed in several NPC bodybuilding competitions that have allowed me to experience firsthand what it takes to change your body composition and the challenge it is on the body and mind. Achieved first degree black belt in Taekwondo and hold numerous certifications, such as Bodybuilding Specialist, Corrective Exercise, Senior Fitness, Group Fitness Instructor, TRX Qualified Instructor, SCW Virtual Training Online certified, as well as Precision Nutrition L1 Nutrition Coach. All of which allow me to work with a wide range of clients from different fitness backgrounds. My specialty is senior citizens with an emphasis on injury prevention and corrective exercises.

 

With over 10+ years of experience, my primary focus is achieving absolute health for my clients through personalized nutrition, and a strength and conditioning program individually tailored to their needs. They range from long term weight loss to rehabilitation for injury, building muscle to athletic performance.

 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and enjoying outdoor activities such as golfing, hiking, biking, and kayaking. I love volunteering in our church community, watching movies and sports. My favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys… Sorry not sorry.

Dani Rueche

Hi, I’m Dani. I’m a certified Strength Coach with a background in healthcare as a Pharmacy Technician and hands-on experience as a Flexologist. I’ve worked closely with clients to improve mobility, flexibility, and recovery, and I’ve seen firsthand how better movement can reduce pain and build confidence.

 

That experience is what inspired me to take the next step into personal training. My fitness journey started early, I’ve been training in martial arts since I was 10, including Kickboxing and Muay Thai. Those years helped shape my discipline and passion for both physical and mental growth.

 

Now, I focus on creating personalized training programs that meet you where you are, whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or looking to level up. My goal is to make training feel empowering, not overwhelming, and to help you move better, get stronger, and stay consistent in a way that fits your lifestyle.

Devin Bell

I’m a NASM-certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor with a real passion for helping people move better, feel stronger, and show up as their best selves. I’m originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, and since 2016, I’ve been proud to call the Cypress area home with my wife and our two kids.

 

My background is in education and coaching — I’ve spent over 19 years as an educator and more than 10 years coaching high school football, baseball, track, and soccer. I earned my bachelor’s in Physical Education from Northwestern State University and my master’s in Educational Leadership from Walden University. All of that experience has helped shape how I coach: with structure, purpose, and a whole lot of encouragement.

 

My sessions are upbeat and energetic, but always grounded in technique, safety, and positive motivation. I love seeing people break through limits — not just physically, but mentally too. My goal is to create an environment where you can grow, be challenged, and know that someone’s in your corner every step of the way.

 

Let’s get to work!

Nick Jackson

My name is Dominick “Nick” Jackson, International Fitness Association Certified Personal Trainer and In Home Trainer at Benefitnessnow. I personalized in HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), step, kick boxing, group fitness and total body conditioning. 

 

When I first started exercising in 1984, I was 12 years old and realized I was skin and bones. I couldn’t gain any weight, let alone produce any muscle mass. I knew it was going to take patience to get where I ultimately wanted to be. I read muscle and fitness books and followed the blueprints that were laid out for me. I had my ups and downs, being discouraged at times and not trusting the process. However, I have immersed into a healthy lifestyle and never looked back. I have learned the value of high impact exercising, HIIT exercising, and other disciplines that have transformed my body.

 

In 1999, I began my career as a Certified Personal Trainer, and I have been helping clients transform their bodies. I have 3 years of experience with the City of Houston Library, Water District, Human Resources and Police Department. I have trained and conditioned for the City of Houston Fire and Police Department, designing an exercise routine specifically to fit their needs. 

 

My goal is to cancel out any fad diets and other shortcuts that keep people from getting into the best shape of their lives. If you work hard, great benefits will follow. I am here to help you climb to the mountain top while improving your health, patience, and stress levels. Together, we can produce positive changes all the while rediscovering yourself inside and out. Let’s get ready to work!

Timothy Avie Jr

Hi my name is Timothy, I also go by Tim or TJ. I’m an ISSA Elite Trainer with over 3 years of hands-on experience. My journey into fitness started through combat sports like MMA. Back then, I was a lean 160-pound athlete—but I told my coach I’d be back stronger. I returned at 186 pounds with just 9% body fat—bigger, faster, and more powerful.

 

Since then, I’ve helped other athletes transform, including a close friend who wanted to feel confident for a Cancun trip. Seeing his excitement and results lit a fire in me—he said, “You should be a trainer.” And that’s exactly what I became.

 

Now, I’m here not just to train you, but to motivate, inspire, and walk alongside you as you pursue your fitness goals. Let’s keep pushing forward—together.
