FAQs

We get it, this is probably unlike any program youā€™ve seen before.
So we want to answer all the questions you may have.

Why Knees Over Toes?

Watch this video where Ben explains the Why behind Knees Over Toes.

ā€

...the majority of the world has been scared away from strengthening this quality in exercise, because a 1978 Duke University study determined that there is more pressure on your knees when they go over your toes. NO DUH!

The result = knee surgeries and knee replacements going up 10X per capita since then, and now determined to be at epidemic levels, with 790,000 knee replacements last year...

What are the 10 ATG Principles?

1. Build From The Ground Up. Ankles to knees, knees to hips, hips to shouldersā€¦ building in this order makes the most bulletproof body according to gravity, yet no previous system has ever actually programmed its volume accordingly. How do you find out your true athleticism and bulletproofing potential if you build out of balance from your natural design?

The more we build from the top down, the more pain and injuries we accumulate and the more gravity-bound we become. The more we build from the ground up, the more we free ourselves of pains and injuries, the more athletic we get, and the longer we live with a high quality of life. Letā€™s look at the first two steps of Knee Ability Zero...

Read Full Article

What programs do you offer?

At ATG (Athletic Truth Group) we donā€™t address conditions. Conditions have their place, but we believe the human body was designed correctly, and our role in the system is helping you travel a route of improving your pain-free ABILITIES.
ļ»æā€‹ļ»æ
ļ»æWhile we are known for knees, we are actually a full body fitness system. Ā 

Ben says: "My goal for the ATG system is to engineer human bulletproofing which can help athletes in any sport and every other person of any age or ability."

We have nearly 50 programs within these 9 categories. Ā So, it is likely we have a program to meet your specific needs and goals!

There are 6 "Zero" Programs:

Knee Ability Zero

Back Ability Zero

ATG Zero

Infinite Zero

Bodyweight Dense

Zero Shred

Within Knee Ability Zero, there are 3 Program Progressions: Knee Ability Zero, Knee Basics, and Knee Ability Pro.

Within Back Ability Zero, there are 3 Program Progressions: Back Ability Zero, Back Basics, and Back Ability Pro.

Within ATG Zero, there are 3 Program Progressions: ATG Zero, ATG Basics, and ATG Pro.

KNEE ABILITY ZERO
ļ»æā€‹ļ»æ
ļ»æKnee Ability Zero is Ben's first and foundational program for joint health. It's a bodyweight rebuild from the ground up. Ā Knee Ability Zero is optional, but highly recommended as the first step if you have knee or ankle issues. Ā 

The schedule is:
ļ»æā€‹ļ»æ
ļ»æM-W-F Lower
ļ»æā€‹ļ»æ
ļ»æTues-Thurs Optional Upper and Mobility

Here is an overview video: https://youtu.be/y9wJWdAXzWA

Zero weights needed.

Zero equipment needed. [Optional upper body exercises on Tuesday/Thursday require nominal equipment.]

Zero need to work through pain.

Zero special abilities needed to start.

If you have knee issues, watch this video!

https://youtu.be/9GkrbO0rDnQ

KNEE BASICS

This is how I recommend adding equipment to build upon the results of Knee Ability Zero.

KNEE ABILITY PRO

Knee Ability "Pro" is how I'd do Knee Ability if I had access to all the helpful equipment for it. Ā 

BACK ABILITY ZERO

My goal is to give you a full body Back Ability workout you can use for yourself and others, RIGHT NOW (and forever more), with ZERO gym equipment. Ā 1-2 rounds of the 9 exercises.

BACK BASICS

This is how I recommend adding equipment to build upon the results of Back Ability Zero

BACK ABILITY PRO Ā 

Maybe you donā€™t have a ā€œbad backā€ - maybe youā€™ve accumulated other legit problems over the course of your life which now leave your back as a pressure point of undue stress.

Now we can gradually work our way toward the lower back, improving the areas that free it up, then addressing the lower back itself with the final step of each workout.

ATG ZERO

The goal of this program is to address 10 things which I find almost every modern person to be deficient in. Ā By addressing these areas as part of your general exercise routine, you may find yourself a superhuman compared to the norm!

ATG BASICS PROGRAM

This program can be done at any stage of your ATG journey...

Monday Knee Ability

Wednesday Back Ability

Friday Shoulder Ability

A full body journey of results and education.
ļ»æā€‹ļ»æ

ATG PRO

If youā€™re willing to do anything - no matter how unusual compared to the norm - to see what your TRUE athletic potential is, I recommend this program for you. But merely by learning and mastering it, youā€™ll be able to help just about anyone, at any level.

INFINITE ZERO

@Mr1nf1n1ty's program: Welcome to "Infinite Zero," a revolutionary fitness program designed for anyone and anywhere. Ā Embrace an equipment-free journey that leverages the ATG bodyweight exercises, and movements to sculpt your body and enhance your well-being. Ā Unlock your infinite potential with a program that adapts to all fitness levels, ensuring a sustainable and effective path to a healthier you.

BODY WEIGHT DENSE

This is the program Keegan Smith (one of Ben's mentors) has used to build his best body despite traveling around the world and rarely having a gym!

ZERO SHRED

I realized that even my own foundation has a way to go, and this program is so simple it can be done from a bedroom! Slant squats should be as easy as push-ups. Nordic control should be as easy as pull-up control. Even at HQ, Iā€™m regularly doing the Zero version of ATG Shred!

Additional option and progression under the Knee Ability Zero Program:

BEN'S ZONE:

BEN'S CURRENT PROGRAM

Due to recent equipment advancements, it's never been more user-friendly to do the FULL ATG system. Ā This program represents the fullest and most balanced program I've ever put online. Ā THANK YOU for giving me a shot!

WEEKEND WARRIOR

From Ben: This is actually Geoff Reed's program. (Article below.) Ā It doesn't quite fit Older & Active. Ā It doesn't quite fit Sports. Ā And since Geoff and I stay in super close touch on this and have been training almost identically to each other for the past 3 years, Ben's Zone seems like the right fit for now. Ā If you give it a shot, shoot Geoff a comment or message on X. Ā He'd love to hear from you.

ATG: The Tale of Geoff Reed (mailchi.mp)

Geoff also has Weekend Warrior Zero

From Geoff: The ATG Weekend Warrior ZERO program requires minimal or no equipment. Ā The goal is to help you eliminate obstacles and/or excuses as you work to build the strength, mobility, and injury resilience needed to play your favorite sports. Ā This is the program that I would use when traveling or if just starting outā€”no equipment necessary!

KNEE DENSE

Dense Strength is a gradual approach to dominating additional load for many sets within a given timeframe, rather than rushing into heavy loads. But there is NO PRESSURE on how many sets you do.

The Dense Strength program provides a safe yet still powerful way to change strength - particularly in the muscles and tendons around our joints and spine: by MASTERING 10 sets in 10 minutes at a given difficulty and only increasing when that is achieved, rather than pushing too much difficulty too soon.

12 weeks has been a game changer for me and many others. It's not fancy but gives enough time to make legitimate changes to affect the rest of your life - with greater potential for longevity and athleticism.

Dense Strength is a 5-day program. Ā 

ORIGINAL DENSE

This is the classic version of Dense that I used with a high school football team at the original ATG gym. Ā The result was greater full body muscle mass, while getting exceptional mobility and athleticism.

~~~~~~~~~~

STANDARDS:

FEMALE STANDARDS

This program is designed for women with the assistance of Ben's wife Alissa. Ā There are 24 standards to master. Ā It's a 5-day program. Ā These exercises may be done by women of any level, because each exercise is regressed to its pain-free level. Ā One gradually improves their strength, flexibility, and mobility.

The Standards percentages were inspired by Charles Poliquin's article on structural balance. The number came directly from coaching people and are derived from baseline targets used to help prepare Olympic athletes. Based on different events, Male & Female marks are different, and the strength preparation reflects that.

Follow @womenofatg on Instagram. Ā You will see many women there doing ATG exercises.

MALE STANDARDS

In Standards, the idea is to test your abilities in 19 different areas, and thus find out more about your strengths and weaknesses relative to the thousands of others who have done my system. Ā A 'Standard' is simply a measurable ability that by actual test most people can't do, but by actual experience coaching, most people can achieve! Ā Each Standard is unorthodox compared to traditional exercise, but each Standard follows simple, evidential clues for greater longevity.
ļ»æā€‹ļ»æ

Zero, Dense and Standards are my 3 classic programs. Ā They are the original route - the culmination of 10 years of gradual success at reverse engineering pain, aging, and lack of athleticism. Ā They have created well over 2,000 knee success stories, along with thousands more for the rest of the body.

Standards is a 5-day program. Ā 

INFINITY STANDARDS

This is a Standards program devised by Ben and Derek Williams, @Mr1nf1n1ty. These are the standards that Derek can do that he is trying to maintain the rest of his life.

FULL 30 STANDARDS

The goal of this program is no weak or tight links! Ā The results have been people like me, with average or even below average genetics, winding up freak resilient and athletic! Ā 

There are 30 Standards to achieve.

~~~~~~~~~~

PHYSIQUE:

FEMALE ATG30

and

MALE ATG30

Each workout goes in this order:

  1. Sled
  2. Stretch-Strength
  3. No Weak Links
  4. Bodyweight

This represents the ATG system itself!

Sled, Stretch-Strength, and No Weak Links are the 3 pillars of ATG, but Bodyweight is "Pillar 0" so you can always control your fitness even when the gym isn't open.

SQUAT SCHOOL

Squat School is a 3-phase program:

6 weeks Original Dense

6 weeks Squat Calculator

6 weeks Peaking Program

Squat School represents the go-to solutions we used to make off-season athletic transformations at the original ATG gym.

ATG POWERBUILDING

This comprehensive workout regimen is ideal for individuals looking to develop a powerful and muscular physique. Ā It combines ATG principles with compound exercises, a focus on proper form, progressive overload, and targeted muscle group training to help you achieve significant gains in strength and muscle mass.

ATG MUSCLE

This program is designed to maximize muscle growth by using a full spectrum of intensity on your muscles. You will reach a deeper burn than probably ever before by using up all stored energy and triple barreling all the fibers with maximal work being done.

ATG SHRED

PHASE 1

Each session flows ā€œfrom the ground upā€ from ankle to knee to hip to shoulder to elbow, therefore requiring very little breaks. This turns the unique ATG bulletproofing and athleticism benefits into a potent body comp workout, shifting the body to less fat and more muscle!

PHASE 2

On Phase 2, we now drop the repetitions per set but increase the difficulty of each rep. Use less assistance or increase the weight on the bar. By now you should have some endurance built up, so now do 4 rounds in under 45 mins.

~~~~~~~~~~

JUMP:

JUMP ABILITY ZERO

Jump Ability Zero is the BASE of reaching your jump ability potential. Ā ZERO meaning starting from the roots of the jump technique with minimal load. Ā Focusing on mastering the full process of the Jump Ability!

JUMP ABILITY LOADED

The two Jump Programs are addressed in this article:

https://mailchi.mp/atgonlinecoaching/atg-my-top-two-pieces-of-jump-advice

JUMP BALANCE

This is a Sunday workout where you will practice 4 specific jumps. Ā Each jump has 11 points of perfect form, and we will be breaking down your jumps in slow motion to coach you to perfection!

~~~~~~~~~~

MARTIAL ARTS:

UNTAPPED

A comprehensive program for grapplers. Ā Build resilience from feet to neck so you can practice BJJ for decades to come. Ā We work movements across long ranges of motion so your training will translate to your movement on the mat.

UNTAPPED NECK

You first will watch Neck Training Concept videos before beginning the Untapped Neck Program. Ā 

You can take any of these neck circuits and add them to your current programming. Ā Keep frequency to 2 - 3 times per week initially. Ā Most people have never truly trained their necks. Ā Progress these movements and progressively load them slowly and gradually to build a strong and durable neck for martial arts.

There are 5 Progressions: Body Weight; Plate Loaded; Band Progression; Head Harness Progression; Head Harness All Angle Training.

~~~~~~~~~~

SPORTS:

ATG FOOTBALL

Leonard Johnson was the first pro athlete to give me (Ben) a chance when I was in the early stages of forming the ATG system. Ā We beat the odds with his NFL career, and he retired the healthiest and most athletic of his career. Ā Now we work on this program together to reflect his journey and help other younger players.

ATHLETIC SCIENCE BLUEPRINT

Designed by L2 ATG Coach and Doctor of Physical Therapy Kenny Walters. Ā He describes the program:

"An effective whole-body progression for increasing athletic potential and decreasing troublesome joint restrictions for people of any level of ability - everything SCALES.

The novelty of the blueprint is that it is a LIVING program; as I discover more effective exercises and progressions, I will add them in."

ATG SOCCER

Build elite strength and mobility through key areas necessary for high performance and longevity in the world of soccer. Ā Master these exercises to greatly improve your speed and quickness while reducing injury. Ā This program has alternating weeks of training designed to keep you progressing and hitting personal bests every time you repeat a workout.

ATG SOCCER PHASE 2

Now it's time to level up. Ā Build on the progress you made in Phase 1 and go even higher. Ā More strength. Ā More range. Ā More bulletproofing. Ā No one else in the soccer world is doing this kind of training. Ā This is your unfair advantage.

ATG HOCKEY

Drawing inspiration from ATG, I've turned the path to the NHL into a math equation. Ā This versatile program prepares hockey players at any time in the season, boosting your abilities and chances of achieving your dreams on the ice. Ā  Ā  -ATG Certified Coach, Mason Hackel

ATG TENNIS

ATG methodology applied to the needs & wants of tennis players. It covers balance between sides, upper/lower body training, as well as flexibility. Becoming strong at the lifts covered here will help bulletproof against the forces your body experiences during the various strokes, quick change of direction, and court coverage during a match.

ATG FOR DISTANCE

The ATG for Distance program was made with feedback from other ATG members who compete in endurance events and have great success in maximizing athletic performance while bulletproofing their bodies to higher levels and reducing pain. Ā The theories behind it are detailed in an ā€œATG Clues For Distance Runningā€ article in the study section [for members.]

ATG YOUNG ATHLETE ROADMAP

The goal is all 10 targets done each week, for 3 sets per exercise. These targets arenā€™t expected to be done from day 1, and they would've taken me years to achieve. Everyone starts somewhere, every exercise scales to virtually any level, and EVERY win should be valued.

ATG VOLLEYBALL (IN SEASON)

Created by one of our very own staff members who has LIVED it (playing D1 volleyball while doing the exercises from this program), the volleyball In-Season program is designed for volleyball players who have to manage a weekly practice/game schedule while doing the ATG program.

ATG VOLLEYBALL (OFF SEASON)

This program is designed for volleyball players in the off-season who want to increase their vertical, agility and hitting ability. The program takes the guesswork out on how to create a LONG-TERM body transformation for the sport of volleyball. The program serves as a very strong base and be adjusted as needed with our staff volleyball players.

OLYMPIC LIFTING

This program is designed to perfectly compliment your Olympic weightlifting sessions! Following your snatch and clean and jerk variations, head immediately into ATG work designed to help you maximize your Olympic lifting!

ATG SPEED

ATG RUN & JUMP ROUTINE

This can be done once per week to rehabilitate and/or improve running and jumping ability. The key is to never work past a level you are 100% pain-free, and instead do more reps at the level you feel good on.

OFF-SEASON JUMP PROGRAM

These are my findings from 10 years of helping hundreds of people achieve their first dunk...

The schedule is Monday through Friday with Jump Sessions on Sunday. Ā The workouts in Week #1 vary from the workouts in Week #2.

IN-SEASON BASKETBALL PROGRAM

Being a basketball player in season can take a huge toll on your body. This program is designed to eliminate the effects of a relentless basketball season by decreasing pain and increasing athletic ability!

~~~~~~~~~~

OLDER & ACTIVE:

OLDER & ACTIVE ZERO

This is an introductory home program for older and active members who want to improve their strength and flexibility. Ā It requires a set of light dumbbells.

We never train through pain, and we always regress any exercise to a comfortable, pain-free level. Ā If you are not able to do an exercise comfortably, don't do it. Ā You will gradually improve.

STAY MOBILE

Ben created this program for his mom, who intends to remain mobile and active for decades. There is a 5-day version and a 7-day version. Ā This program uses equipment. Ā Ben says: "This is the simplest program I've ever made. Ā It very well may be my favorite program ever, because it's the one I could do the rest of my life."


ļ»æ~~~~~~~~~~

SPECIALIZATION:

Some members may wish to focus on a particular area or function of the body that is uncomfortable, before embarking on a full body program. Ā These protocols are meant to be done for about 6 weeks.

Ben has protocols for ankles, wrists & elbows, shoulders, groin, shins, feet, glutes, and hips.

ANKLE: Iā€™ve used this data for myself and others after ankle sprains. Ā Not only did we find we could recover faster than expected, but we were also able to CONTINUE building the ankles from a weak link to a STRONG one, even more protected than before the injury! Which is the exact opposite of modern stats.

WRIST & ELBOW: This protocol is intended to be done 2-3 times per week in order to bring up weak links. Ā It is also spread out across Ben's 3 full body workouts in Ben's Zone > Full ATG Protocol.

SHOULDER: This protocol is designed to increase your ability to handle and transfer forces through your shoulders - the stronger you become while increasing range of motion through these movements will bulletproof you against injury and allow you to exert higher forces i.e., punching, throwing, serving, etc. You can do this 3 to 4 times per week. Ā It's been used to help people who thought they had to give up baseball or other shoulder-dependent activities. You can do this protocol to support your own fitness regimen, or in addition to any full-body ATG program to bring up low scores in your shoulder Structural Balance. Ā 

GROIN: Tweaks in the groin can be a nuisance to overcome ā€” so we reverse-engineered a simple 3-day a week program designed to bolster this area towards greater levels of Groin Ability.

SHIN: Shin pain caused me a lot of anguish and cost me a lot of money over an 8-year period. But it didnā€™t have to. Hereā€™s howā€¦

FOOT: This is a very basic 3x per week formula to get the feet progressing in ABILITY. Experience has shown me that a vast amount of foot problems are simply lack of training of the strength and flexibility of the feet, since Squats, Deadlifts, Leg Presses, Leg Extensions - all the most-used weightroom exercises - lack foot movement and loading!

GLUTE: This is a recipe for someone wanting to use ATG to develop the glutes.

HIP: This is designed to get the hips an increase of ability, which has resulted in hundreds of reports of decreased pain and increased freedom with the hips. But the goal is always just an increase of PAIN-FREE ABILITY. That's it. All the success stories for overcoming injuries are a welcomed byproduct.

ā€

What equipment is needed for the programs?

For the first program, Knee Ability Zero (called "Zero" on our coaching app), no equipment is needed for the 8 key lower body exercises on M, W, F. The optional upper body exercises on Tues. and Thurs. require nominal equipment. Knee Ability Zero is body weight only. Ā And you may do the exercises in your home or any other location.

As you progress, you will need some equipment. Ā Here is Ben's article showing the ATG brand equipment that is available: ATG Equipment List | Medium

ā€
ļ»æļ»æIf you do not have a piece of equipment available, the ATG Coaches are very resourceful and can give you alternative equipment ideas.

What is the length of each ATG workout session? Can I do ATG while on another athletic program?

Ben understands that many members will have their own athletic programs that they are doing, such as bodybuilding, martial arts, yoga, endurance training, or specific athletic coaching for basketball, baseball, soccer etc., with their team trainers.

He has this to say about combining your program with the ATG program:

ā€"Fortunately, my sessions range from 20-30 minutes and will hit the missing links to get you even more gains out of your existing training!"

Knee Ability Zero is 3 sessions per week (M, W, F) with optional upper body exercises and stretching on off-days (T, Th). Ā The days you do the 3 sessions can be changed by you to fit your schedule.

The Dense Strength Program is 5 days per week (M - F). Ā The sessions are about 30 - 45 minutes.

The Standards Program is also 5 days per week (M - F). Ā The sessions are about 30 - 45 minutes.

The other programs are generally 5 days programs. Some are 6 days.

How much does your program cost?

The program costs $49.50 USD per month. Ā It's a monthly recurring subscription service which you may cancel at ANY time, and still get your full month of service.

The first month is 50% off with coupon code ATG50, just $24.75 USD. The coupon is input after your payment information has been input at www.atgonlinecoaching.com.

What is your cancellation policy?

You may cancel at any time. Regardless of when you cancel, you will still receive service for the entire month that you paid for.


I have patellar tendinitis. Is this program a fit for me?

Ben is not a medical professional and may not give advice regarding medical conditions. Ā Ben specializes in Knee Ability. Ā The ATG methodology strengthens and restores the muscles, tendons, and ligaments from the ground up and bulletproofs the knees against the intense forces that they are subjected to in sports and in life.

We have countless members who have improved or eliminated tendinitis and other conditions as a result of doing the Knee Ability Zero Program. Ā Check out some of the success stories on the website.

Here is a video Ben likes to have anyone watch who has knee issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GkrbO0rDnQ


I recently had ACL reconstruction. At what point would it be safe to do this program?

Ben is not a medical professional and may not give advice regarding medical conditions. Consult your surgeon or physical therapist for an answer to this question.

Ben specializes in Knee Ability. Ā The ATG methodology strengthens and restores the muscles, tendons, and ligaments from the ground up and bulletproofs the knees against the intense forces that they are subjected to in sports and in life.

Once you have your doctor's or PT's approval, get onto the Knee Ability Zero Program and begin to restore your knees.

KNEE ABILITY ZERO

Knee Ability Zero is about Ben's first and foundational program for strengthening and making more flexible the tendons, ligaments, and muscles in and around the joints, from the ground up. It's a great basis for any activity in life, or any sport. Once you learn the exercises, the program takes about 30 minutes, 3 times per week. This program, Knee Ability Zero, uses no equipment and can be done in your own home. It's bodyweight only.

Here is the link:

ATG FOR LIFE

ATG for Life is a 2 workouts-per-week program for longevity. It's a wonderful program for young or old, fit or unfit, athlete or non-athlete. It scales to your pain-free level.

ATG for Life uses some equipment, including a sled, and uses weights (when you are ready for them). There are alternatives to using a sled, which are shown in the book.

With ATG for Life, you may advance to using weights with the exercises, and eventually adding more weight. It scales upwards as far as you want to take it! It's a great regimen when you want a program that covers full body, but you have limited time to work out during the week. You could do this program the rest of your life and stay healthy and fit. The sled work is crucial.

ATG for Life is two workouts. Ā It is done just twice a week. Ā Workout 1 has 10 lower and upper body exercises. Ā Workout 2 has 10 different lower and upper body exercises, except that 4 of the 10 exercises are done both days.

A key difference between the two programs is that Knee Ability Zero is bodyweight only, no equipment. Knee Ability Zero may be done at home, outside, or at a gym. ATG for Life uses equipment and weights and requires a home gym, or the use of a commercial gym.

My own chronic knee problems started at age 9, and by 18 I had 3 surgical knee alterations and I had to quit basketball altogether. Thatā€™s when I decided to devote my life to figuring out how to bulletproof the knees, and I did just that, transforming from the fragile guy with a lifetime-best 19-inch vertical jump, to now having the knee advantage even when playing against elite NBA players, plus a 42-inch vertical, the only known and documented case of an adult going from sub-20 to over-40 inch vertical jump.
ā€
In 2.5 years Iā€™ve taken 1 day off, and I donā€™t see that changing until 2030 when we find out if the expected increase of 790,000 to 3.5 million knee replacements per year has been prevented due to my own efforts and the growing web of ATG members now making booms in their own areas.

Ben Patrick

CEO

As the COO my purpose is simple: run the BUSINESS so Ben can focus on maximally helping people. If youā€™ve ever run your own business you can relate to how many unseen things actually go into itā€¦

I, too, work 7 days a week but not on any coaching. My job is to bulletproof the BUSINESS and create a work environment where every single staff member loves their job. Ben and his team being able to give their all to helping ATG Famā€¦ THAT is my job.

I also had knee cartilage damage of my own that I was told I would have to live with, and I actually helped Ben in creating some of his most important knee progressions. I completely handled my own symptoms, painlessly, and now that Iā€™ve had a baby, Iā€™m actually looking forward to getting in the best shape of my life.

I was a competitive figure skater for 10 years and Iā€™ll be getting back on the ice soon. Just as Ben is doing his best dunks as heā€™s entering his 30s, I want to do my best jumps in my 30s! So, yes, Iā€™m an ATG Fam, too! But my time is spent on everything Ben DOESNā€™T want to do, so he can put all his time into the training system.

Alissa Patrick

COO

Ben and I go back being best of friends since the age of 4. I personally have witnessed the incredible transformation of Ben going from barely being able to touch the net of a rim to doing dunks with ease. I have trained alongside Ben and many of the other ATG staff and watched the miracles come to life, including myself whose ability to play semi pro and entry level professional soccer was realized by having a bulletproof body into my late 20s and early 30s!

Day by day, win by win our mission is to restore people to doing what they love without pain. My job here at ATG as the CAO is to ensure the company runs smoothly and that all of our staff are extremely happy!

I truly believe we have the best programs on earth which restore quality of life and give people who once had given up due to body weaknesses a fighting chance to feel like they can do what they love again.

ATG Staff Member - Quentin Tomak

I was one of Benā€™s first clients, before ATG was even created. I had weak and painful knees and an abysmal 17 inch vertical. I never thought I would be dunking all four plants and being able to do the ATG standards in my sleep.
Iā€™ve trained with ATG since the beginning so I know where it came from to where it is now. There is no better service on the planet and Iā€™m living proof that anyone can overcome knee pain and become more athletic!

ATG Staff Member - Marley Vargas

When I first arrived at ATG I was overweight, non athletic, and had no hope of achieving my dream of dunking! I literally couldnā€™t do one chin up and barely touched the net when trying to dunk! I had zero confidence in my appearance and abilities! After training with Ben and the ATG system I lost 20 pounds, dunked for the first time in my life, and my athleticism is at the highest itā€™s ever been! Iā€™m finally comfortable in my own skin which is probably the best gift that Iā€™ve achieved with this training! This has completely changed my life and so grateful for trying this system!

Head of Communications

My name is Marcel Betancourt and I am a tennis player from Puerto Rico. I discovered ATG, as a local gym, back in 2015 after my years of competing in college. I came to train with Ben being unathletic, plagued with Tennis Elbow and back pains, in hopes of a chance to pursue a professional career. Since then, I have become ATG's longest standing employee, helped contribute to the development of the ATG system, have resolved all previous physical issues and can finally play tennis completely pain-free, and continue to support Ben by becoming the Head of Progress for ATG.

ATG Staff Member - Andrew Graus

In 2018, Ben invited me to film and create epic highlight videos for the weekly ATG Hoops Runs. And thatā€™s exactly what I did. 2 years later, Iā€™m working for ATG full time creating professional videos to help share Benā€™s knowledge and provide valuable resources for our loyal ATG Fam! I enjoy using my editing skills to help ATG in any way that I can.
