History
Established in 2017.
Persistent Hunters opened in December of 2017, with Matt Benti as owner and head coach, and his wife Erika Benti helping with communications and marketing. Matt brings his many years of fitness coaching experience to create a community of fun, supportive people who are all working to improve their fitness in one way or another.
We are named for an ancient practice in which hunters use endurance and tenacity to exhaust and then catch prey. Persistence hunting was common among our early ancestors, allowing a hunter to prevail over animals that might be faster in short spurts, but were no match against relentless tracking and dogged stamina.
This enduring drive, along with our focus on building a supportive, fun community of athletes, guides our approach to group fitness.
Meet the Business Owner: Matt B.
I don't come from an athletic family, yet I have always felt the need to run, jump, lift, and compete-to be in motion. Growing up, I participated in typical youth activities like Little League and basketball, but it was in high school that I discovered what I am best at: endurance sports. Then, as a student at CSU, I found the mountains and cycling.
While at CSU, I started personal training at the Rec Center and realized that I love coaching and training those ready to achieve their goals. Since graduating with a B.S. in Health and Exercise Science in 2006, I have been a head coach in several gyms. And I've lived in some great places: Denver, Portland, Oregon, and Los Angeles. In each place, I've learned in new ways how the work we do inside a gym can impact what we can accomplish outside of it. I love guiding people to achieve things they never knew they were capable of, and to watch that new strength impact their life outside of the gym.
