Ben Robertson was our male runner-up in the Supplement Superstores Lock In Challenge, dropping an impressive 12 pounds while learning what it truly means to stay locked in.

For Ben, the biggest challenge wasn’t simply losing weight—it was finding a way to prioritize his health and fitness while balancing the demands of a busy life. Like many people, his fitness journey has had its share of ups and downs over the years. This time around, he focused on building habits he could actually maintain, staying disciplined even when life got hectic, and finding a balance that worked for him.

Ben sat down with us to share his experience throughout the Lock In Challenge, what helped him stay consistent, and how shifting his priorities allowed him to make real progress without putting the rest of his life on hold.
