4 kids deep and 9 months post partum, I decided to step way out of my comfort zone and compete in my first ever body building competition. I reached out to Ben for his guidance and expertise as I saw first hand how he was able to transform my husbands physique which ultimately lead to him placing 2nd in his very first ever bodybuilding competition.
Together we achieved a total loss of 15kgs in 9 months ( bf%
from 38%
to 15% )
I gained so much confidence and knowledge around training and nutrition and although no placing, the greatest WIN for me has been maintaining a healthier lifestyle 3 years on by applying Ben’s methods used during prep.
I can hand on heart say that this journey with Ben has transformed my life and I am to this day still so incredibly proud to have been prepped by the best
Coach

Prior to meeting Ben, I had already competed twice but never achieved what I felt I had the potential to. As an avid bodybuilding fan I admired the standard of what Ben and the athletes he’s trained brought to every show and thought maybe that could be me. With nothing to lose and a dream to gain I contacted Ben and began a 20 week comp prep for ICN victoria, and I have to say this was by far the longest prep I’ve done with many challenges and hiccups along the way, but with Ben there to support and guide me along a the way I managed to see it through and presented my best look ever. For anyone thinking of stepping on stage, I’d advise them to trust the process and advice of your coach, you won’t notice or see progress from day to day or even week to week so take plenty of progress pics and keep pushing 🙂

Comp prep will take you to your lowest lows and your highest highs and through it all, Ben was my rock. The training, the nutrition, the mindset — everything was tailored and dialled in. He’ll take you further than you thought possible. He’s the kind of coach who sees more in you than you see in yourself and helps you rise to it.

When it came to my body goals, I’d always struggled to break through until I started training with Ben

His approach isn’t copy & paste, it’s tailored and backed by serious knowledge in both training and nutrition. He meets you where you’re at, then pushes you to where you want to be.

Ben helped me get physically leaner and mentally stronger. I developed real discipline, built resilience I didn’t know I had, and left with habits that have genuinely changed my lifestyle.

Working with Ben as my coach was truly transformative. During the seven months I trained with him, he ensured that my first body building prep felt both sustainable and healthy. He was very deliberate in selecting the right foods for my program to maintain healthy hormones. Ben was also quick to respond to my questions and was very technical when demonstrating my workouts. Ilearned so much about training thanks to Ben!

Ben’s guidance helped me achieve my fitness goals, and I secured first place in my very first bodybuilding competition!

Before I started working with Ben, 1 loved training but didn’t really have a plan or know where I was headed. I trained hard but never really saw a change in my physique. Ben helped me find direction, showed me what I was capable of, and pushed me further than I thought possible. He was the one who encouraged me to step on stage for my first bodybuilding competition. Not only did he give me confidence to go on stage, his dedication to my progress helped me win my first competition.
That experience completely changed how I see myself, inside and outside the
дут.
Even after his coaching, I have managed to incorporate the skills and mindset that Ben has taught me in my current sport injury rehabilitation (not bodybuilding related).
If you’re looking for someone who truly knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares about your progress, you won’t find better than Ben.

I had the privilege of being coached by Ben for my first-ever bodybuilding competition and I placed in all my divisions! His expert guidance, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. Ben is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also one of the kindest souls you’ll meet.

I didn’t just hire a coach… I invested in a life-changing transformation. Thank you Ben.
When I started, I was close to 90kg with no real structure. Just a dream to step on stage and tick it off my bucket list.
Ben didn’t just give me a plan he gave me clarity and structure. His meal plans weren’t just about macros. Every food had a purpose. I felt energised as my weight dropped. I was still getting STRONGER.
The biggest shift wasn’t just my physique it was mentally as well. When I had self-doubt, Ben kept me focused and driven.
Come competition day, I wasn’t just shredded.
I was ready. I blew past most of my competitors!
Looking back, I didn’t just pay for training. I paid for a transformation that changed my life. If you’re serious about bodybuilding, Ben is the one to guide you.

As an IT guy, my life was code, deadlines, and long hours. I’d always trained, but stepping on a bodybuilding stage? Never thought I’d get there, until I met Ben.

He didn’t just give me a plan. He listened. He understood my crazy work hours, cultural food habits, and built a prep around me. Every check-in, every tweak, every posing cue he showed up, every time.

Even on the hard days 5am cardio, 10-hour shifts, late-night posing Ben was there. It wasn’t just coaching. It was care, belief, and relentless support.

Show day wasn’t just about a physique. It was about becoming someone I never thought I could be. Disciplined. Focused. Proud.

Thank you, coach, mentor, brother
this is just the beginning

Ben was absolutely pivotal in my competition prep and a key reason I placed at my show. His support, flexibility, and guidance made all the difference-especially as I juggled a full-time corporate job. He knew exactly when to push me and when to adapt things based on how I was tracking. Ben helped me with everything from posing and training to food and nutrition, always keeping me on the right path.

There were moments I wanted to give up, but his encouragement kept me going. I’m so grateful for his help-1 couldn’t have done it without him.

Having Ben as a coach has really taught me so many things, not only my own physical challenges but also improving my health from inside out.
I’ve learnt how to not only work on the physical appearances but how important it is to fuel your body from the inside which lead me to have better mental clarity and a good recovery process.
I never once in my life ate chicken breast until I started to follow Ben’s meal plans recommendations.
I became stronger, leaner and overall happier waking up with more energy everyday.
Thankyou for being so patient with me as I know I can be a pain during our training sessions as I winge and constantly hesitate at each workout when I felt it was feeling like it’s getting too hard.
Feedback to all coaches l’ve learnt with Ben’s coaching ways is that no matter how hard it may seem at the time Ben was always so calm..barely even spoke gfew words but managed to push me through every last step.
In or out of the gym you are and always will be considered as one of my best coaches.
Thankyou for always having the time to respond to me with any feedback or help in my process.

Hi there my name is Poko paiti, have always been a fan of weight training or just training in general. Have always had a goal to eventually do a bodybuilding show but as we all know life gets busy and that got pushed to the bottom of the list,
I have know Ben for a little while now and always admire how he would hold him self, you know those people who you would just have to be around and there presence makes you want to be better.

I thank god for our paths crossing because it was Ben who truly took my physique and transformed it, not even I could of imagine the out come of the whole process, but blessed to have my wife and kids and of course Ben holding me accountable through the whole journey from the dieting, training, trying to balance family life as well. Your support network definitely helps get you through.

If you are looking for someone to elevate you to the next level hand on heart you will not be disappointed with Ben there’s nobody se I would recommend or tru v

I’m Songul i started training with Ben Hytongue (Hyprep) in 2015 so pretty much a decade ago, I am a mother of 2 and initially just wanted to burn off some stubborn baby fat, so I started training with Ben.

Never in my dreams did I have competing on my mind, slowly and consistently he kept me accountable and i just kept losing the fat. But there was one man “my coach Benny” who believed in me before I even believed in myself, he saw my potential from the very beginning. So we decided to work towards stage. We preped for a total of 30 weeks, which came up real quick.

The training was always the fun part, the food was very disciplined which you need for comp prep but my coach was amazing. So supporting, understanding and my biggest supporter the entire time, lets not forget extremely humble, i couldn’t have been in better hands and i could never have done it without him.

In the end I hit the stage. It was an unbelievable feeling i can’t even describe. One word of advice i have for anyone thinking about being coached, is stay in your own lane and be the best damn very of yourself that you can be, and Benny is hands down the perfect coach to get you to your dreams. So much love xx

I walked into this prep with ambition—but it was Ben Hytongue who gave that ambition structure, strategy, and soul. Under his coaching, I proudly walked away from the Canada Open with 3 gold medals in the lightweight division and a silver in the open middleweight—something I couldn’t have dreamed of doing without him.

There were moments where I genuinely felt like I was falling behind—physically and mentally. But Ben never once let me sink. He checked in, reassessed, pushed, recalibrated, and reminded me constantly of what I was capable of. His eye for detail, his ability to manipulate training and nutrition down to the finest margins, and above all, his belief in me—that was the game changer.

I didn’t just get a coach. I got a mentor who cared deeply, who demanded my best, and who never once let me quit on myself.

Ben, thank you for guiding me, for pushing me, and for never letting me forget the vision we set from day one. This victory is ours

I met Ben back in 2013 at the gym, and we instantly clicked with both similar personalities, same energy, same love for sports. At the time, I had no idea what I was doing but Ben took me under his wing and after just a few sessions, lifting quickly became my passion.

Within 6 months of training together, I lost 30kgs! Coming from an athletic background, it didn’t take long for me to build muscle and for the fire to light. From there, we decided to give bodybuilding a go, and after a full year under Ben’s guidance, I stepped on stage for my very first comp and placed top 2 at the VICS. That feeling was insane.

Fast forward to 2017 we prepped for another comp, unknowingly while I was already 3 months pregnant with my son.. I was shocked to have placed top 3 at the VICS.. again! This was wild and beyond my imagination lol

After giving birth, the weight came back on but I knew exactly who I needed in my corner. Once again, Ben helped me drop all the weight and we went for round 3! 😅

It’s been a ride… but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ben isn’t just a coach he’s a walking encyclopaedia with a wealth of knowledge, and one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. He truly cares about his craft and his clients, and that’s what makes him the best.

Four months ago, I never imagined stepping back on stage so soon. Not until I spoke to my coach and brother, @hyprepp. From the very start, he believed in me and didn’t hesitate to guide me forward. His knowledge of nutrition and training is unmatched by any coach I’ve worked with. Week by week, I pushed harder and followed his program to the letter, and before I knew it, I was achieving results that would usually take years to build. We even had to slow down because I was so close to peak six weeks out crazy, right! I couldn’t have done this without you, brother. I love you.

I’ve had the privilege of calling Ben not just my coach, but my friend for over 10 years. Through every training block, comp prep, and life season, he has shown up with a level of compassion, patience, and genuine care that is truly unmatched in this industry.

I’ve done multiple bodybuilding competitions under Ben’s guidance, and with each one, I’ve learnt not just about physical strength, but about character.. his character. He’s someone who doesn’t just push you to become your best on stage, but makes sure you’re growing in all areas of your life too.

Ben doesn’t just train bodies, he uplifts minds and supports hearts. If you’re looking for someone to take your fitness to the next level and help you elevate your life in the process, I honestly couldn’t recommend anyone more. Ben is the real deal. Cheers bro

The journey with Ben that started it all.
I had the privilege of working with Ben for a 6 month period and achieved the greatest results I ever had in my life.
Between July to December I went from 120kg to 90kg, and was able to do it with a balanced, measured meal plan, consistent easy to follow training that was challenging in the best way.
We had weekly conversations and check ins scheduled, but Ben was always responsive and there for me on the tough days which mattered most.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a high quality trainer to reach out to Ben as he was able to help me achieve my goals and a physique I never thought I could have achieved on my own.

I’ve been coached by Ben since
November 2021, and I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without him. After having kids (3 babies) | was struggling to feel like myself again, but with Ben’s support, I’ve not only lost the weight, I’ve become the strongest, fittest, and most confident version of myself.
What started as a journey to feel better turned into something I never imagined and competing in bikini bodybuilding, and honestly, I’ve never looked or felt better.
Ben’s knowledge, patience, and belief in me made all the difference. He pushed me when I needed it, guided me every step of the way, and taught me so much about training, nutrition, and mindset.
I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together and so grateful to have Ben in my corner.

I walked into this journey with only a vague idea of what it demanded; from day one, Ben gave me unwavering support, rock-solid structure, and genuine encouragement. He is a master in his craft with an exceptional eye for detail-crucial in a sport where you are scrutinised on stage.
Under Ben’s guidance, every step felt clear and purposeful. I never once felt lost or alone. He isn’t just a coach; he is an incredible person and, above all, a mentor who truly cares about his athletes’ success.
I’m beyond grateful to call Ben my coach. He leads by example, elevates everyone around him, and turns the
“impossible” into achievable milestones.

I hired Ben to help me with my first ever competition.
Ben took me to places I never thought I could go, not just physically but mentally as well.
His guidance, support, and energy throughout the entire process made me feel confident, composed, and ready to jump on stage.
I reached my best physique to date with Ben and had one of the best experiences of my life because of him.
He’s a legendary coach!

Being coached and then competing under Ben was an absolute honour. What was to be (and was) expected for my debut into the bodybuilding world, was made clear, was very concise, plans were always put forward ahead of time and our check ins & communication throughout both of my preps and phases in between were meticulous.

After working with a few coaches prior to Ben, I can truly say that he was the one who showed me what coaching really is all about. It was way more than just being supportive, encouraging and kicking my butt when I needed it. Ben took my physique to what I thought was unimaginable, he taught me what it was to train with true intent, what it felt like to have someone in your corner and what it was like to know that somebody saw something in you that you didn’t see.

Ben became more than a coach. He turned into a friend and somebody that I highly respect. I am very greatful to have been under his wings and very blessed to work alongside him now.

I am better person and coach because of him.

Peace out motherfuckers.

I began as a passionate runner with close to no muscle definition but I knew deep down that I wanted more. I wanted a change. And then I met Ben. A coach whose precision and insight have helped me reach goals I didn’t even think were possible.

Not every session was easy far from it. But Ben has a unique coaching style that pushes you to believe in yourself and achieve beyond your limits. He’s relentlessly focused and fully present, listening not just to your goals, but to your doubts, your wins, and your next move.

With meticulous protocols and unmatched attention to detail, Ben doesn’t just coach he transforms. He’s taken me from Bikini to Sports Model, to absolutely dominating the Figure division, and back again.

This process has taught me discipline, confidence, and so much more. It’s been life-changing and I’ve loved every second of it

After 2 years training with Ben, I have nothing but positive things to say about his work as a coach, whether your goal is to compete or simply become the best version of yourself. Training with him has not only transformed my body, but also the way I feel about myself. Ben has a unique ability to push you beyond what you thought possible on tough training days and to find the right words when you need them most. His character, values, and genuine care for his clients are qualities that make me proud to call him my coach. The depth of knowledge he brings is evident in every conversation and, most importantly, in the results you achieve through his tailored meal and workout plans. I’m truly grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my journey.

Working with Ben has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my fitness journey. I started training with him in 2021, and by 2022 I was stepping on stage for my first bodybuilding show, ICN Season B, where I won the overall Men’s Physique state title. Since then, we’ve continued to level up.

This year I competed in the NPC Natural show in July, where I won the Physique True Novice division and placed second overall.

Ben’s guidance has been nothing short of exceptional. He leads with humility, passion, and a genuine belief in my potential. He’s helped me build not only a stronger physique, but also a stronger mindset keeping me focused, accountable, and inspired every step of the way. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved and grateful to have him in my corner.
