Meet Benedict Dominique | Fitness Coach & Part Owner at Pro Performance

We had the good fortune of connecting with Benedict Dominique and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Benedict, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I am born and raised in the South Florida Area. My parents emigrated from Haiti in the early 80’s. Both my mom and dad were and still are two very hardworking and diligent individuals. I owe a lot to them. They taught me skills and life lessons that I use everyday. Without their example I definitely would have not approached life with the growth mindset that I have now.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am part owner owner of Pro Performance. We are a Personal Training gym located in Davie FL. We have been in business for just under 10 years. We reached the point where we are today from building good relationships with our customers as well mentorship from colleagues who have been in business longer than we have. It has been a long road so far with some challenges but mostly filled good times. Like all things in life, challenges are inevitable. My parents instilled in me a strong foundation of faith in God so for me that’s number 1 when dealing with any obstacle. Mentorship through more experienced colleagues as I mentioned before is another way to navigate through challenges. It’s also the best way to shorten your learning curve. We would like to build Pro Performance up to last for the long haul. We want to stay in business long enough to make a lasting impact on the lives of our clients and community at large.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
South Florida is a melting pot with so many places to go and see. If someone were visiting and wanted to have a good time there are a few places I would recommend. Being a guy with an island background I’ll start with recommending some good homestyle Caribbean cooking. I’d start by taking them to Joys Roti Delight or Kasa Champet for some authentic Island cuisine. For a relaxing afternoon or evening out you can’t go wrong with visiting Ft. Lauderdale Beach and catching some sun and ocean therapy. I’m an also a sports fan so to cap off the week a lunch time trip to bayside followed with a Miami Heat game is a nice way to enjoy the weekend.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to dedicate this shoutout to my mom and dad. They are the two most influential people in my life!
