About Coach Dukes

Dukes, CPT, CF-L1, brings more than three decades of strength training and athletic experience to High Voltage Fitness. A former award-winning football player at The University of Georgia, Ben has spent the last nine years coaching CrossFit and strength-based training, helping athletes of all levels build lasting strength, discipline, and confidence.

As a Certified Personal Trainer and CrossFit Level 1 Coach, Ben is known for his thoughtful, results-driven approach to programming. He leads two of High Voltage’s signature training programs: Lifting Club and Krazy Couplets. Lifting Club is a strength-focused program built around long-term progressive overload, emphasizing compound movements such as the squat, deadlift, bench press, and pull-ups to develop total-body strength and resilience.

Krazy Couplets offers a complementary, aesthetics-focused approach, combining interval training with antagonistic muscle group pairings, higher rep ranges, and targeted isolation work to help athletes improve muscle definition, work capacity, and overall conditioning. Ben often jokes that he has “never once suggested anyone take both classes” yet many members embrace the challenge and the results that come with it.

In addition to group programming, Ben offers personalized coaching for athletes who are serious about increasing their strength and committed to putting in the work both inside and outside of training sessions. His coaching style emphasizes consistency, accountability, and smart progression, helping clients build habits and results that last well beyond the gym.
