Meet Torski Dobson-Arnold, the dedicated owner and franchisee of BeneFit Personal Training, a unique fitness service specializing in mobile personal training for older adults in the Richmond metropolitan area. With a passion for health and wellness, Torski has transformed lives by bringing customized fitness programs directly to clients’ homes, ensuring they stay active, healthy, and independent.
BeneFit Personal Training stands out in the fitness industry by catering to older adults, baby boomers, and seniors. The service focuses on personalized, in-home training sessions that are tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. BeneFit Personal Training ensures that every session is customized to the client’s current health and fitness level, whether it’s enhancing mobility, building muscle strength, or preventing falls.
What sets BeneFit Personal Training apart is its commitment to individualized fitness programs. Torski and her team avoid cookie-cutter training methods, opting instead to create personalized plans that address each client’s specific needs. From healthy, active retirees to those with chronic conditions or mobility issues, BeneFit Personal Training provides comprehensive fitness solutions that improve overall well-being.
As the sole franchisee in the Richmond metropolitan area, Torski proudly serves all of Metro Richmond, including Henrico and Hanover counties. Her dedication to the community is evident in her proactive approach to health and fitness, particularly for seniors who may be hesitant to return to traditional gym settings post-pandemic.
BeneFit Personal Training primarily caters to individuals aged 65 and above. Interestingly, Torski often finds herself working with the adult children of seniors, providing them with much-needed respite and peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are staying active and healthy.
With over 12 years of experience in personal fitness, including seven years focusing on older adults, Torski’s journey into senior fitness began serendipitously. Her first experience teaching a Silver Sneakers class revealed her natural affinity for working with seniors, ultimately leading her to specialize in this niche market. A pivotal moment came when a client expressed joy at tying her shoes again, highlighting the profound impact of Torski’s work.
Torski is deeply embedded in the Richmond community. She teaches free community fitness classes to seniors and partners with local organizations like Five Loaves to provide holistic wellness support. Her extensive certifications, including Geriatric Fitness & Lifestyle Coach, Cancer Exercise Specialist, and Silver Sneakers Instructor, underscore her expertise and dedication to senior fitness.
Torski’s journey is equally inspiring. Her “why” stems from a desire to be active and present for her children and grandchildren, a mission that continues to drive her work today. Her vision for BeneFit Personal Training is to become the premier destination for senior health and wellness in Richmond, fostering partnerships with dietitians, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to serve the whole person.
A lifelong resident of Virginia, Torski appreciates Richmond’s transformation into a foodie destination, complete with a vibrant craft beer scene. Outside of work, she enjoys gardening, reading, and leading a book club for her seniors, fostering a sense of community and strong relationships.
BeneFit Personal Training is on a growth trajectory, and Torski’s dedication to her clients and innovative approach to fitness ensure its continued success. By sharing her story and expanding her reach, Torski aims to help more seniors live healthier, more independent lives.
