Raise the Bar: How to Push Beyond Your Limits and Build a Stronger Future You

Have loved Peloton rides with Ben so it’s been fun to read about his history and inspirational stories!

This book started a little slow and was difficult to get into, but then picked up and became truly inspiring. It’s very cool getting a better understanding of the short peeks into Ben’s life through Peloton classes. Overall, I really enjoyed this book.

I found Ben on the Peloton platform at the end of 2021 when I desperately needed a change in my fitness routine. As a 55-year-old grandmother, I am now in the best shape of my life because of his classes and his coaching. I started taking his classes daily and slowly realized he was not only my fitness coach but my life coach as well. Every day, he challenges you to not only become better on the bike or mat, but in life as well. His mantras that he repeats often started to shape who I was and how I acted once I stopped exercising and went on with my day. You would often wonder how someone so young could have such knowledge of how to maneuver through life and the challenges we face.Because of how his classes, his words and use of music has changed my life, I did not hesitate to purchase and read this book immediately. Raising the Bar walks you through Ben’s experiences, those people who inspired him and how his mindset, allowed him to navigate some serious challenges at a very young age. Ben did not just go through these challenges and arrive on the other side, he used those experiences to embrace opportunity and most importantly find true happiness. He gives you tools to use so that you too can come out on the other side as a stronger and wiser person. In Ben’s classes and in Raising the Bar, Ben focuses not only physical well-being but mental and social well-being. By focusing on those areas, I truly am the happiest I have ever been.This book is not just a book for Peloton fans or fitness fans. This is really a book about how to be resilient and make the most out of your life, even in the darkest times, while at the same time giving back to those around you. No one can argue that for someone so young he has faced some real challenges and he has shared with us how he was able to work his way through them and end up on top. I am more than half way through the audiobook now and I am still learning from Ben. I realize that while I am in better shape physically, emotionally and socially, that there are more opportunities to improve and the tools he provides have prepared me to become my best self.

After riding with Ben Alldis on the Peloton platform for the past 2.5 years, there was no question that I would read this book.This book is not just for Peloton members or Ben fans though. If you are looking for an honest take from someone thinking they have their whole life mapped out and on course to follow a certain path, and then finding and following their true calling and passion, this is the book for you.Ben takes us on his journey from playing competitive sports to his career in finance which have all led him to where he is today as a Peloton coach.The wisdom and perspective Ben shares in his book, as well as on the platform, will make you stop and ponder and perhaps even have you start to consider a new path —- no matter where you are in your journey. I know it did for me!

I’ve been a fan of Ben’s for a while because of Peloton. I’ve dealt with health issues and injuries as an athlete myself, and I’ve also always been passionate about self-improvement and taking steps to better my lifestyle, so Ben’s mindset and teachings in his classes really align with my values. This book only deepened my appreciation for what he has to say. He offers touching stories about his life, digestible advice for our own lives, and a profound reflection on how we can all better ourselves and those around us. This was both enjoyable and educational and I could not express enough how amazing this book is. THANK YOU BEN!!

Ben Alldis’s new book “Raising the Bar” shows how to deal with life when life isn’t always “belters and bangers”. Ben expertly weaves his life story with thoughtful guidance and advice in this moving, entertaining, and well-written book. If 20 minutes on the mat with Ben isn’t enough, I strongly encourage you to maximize your time with him and read “Raising the Bar”.

Ben Alldis might not be one of the “flashier” Peloton instructors, but this book proves he’s worth listening to! Ben weaves his encouragement and mindset with stories of his life and gives the reader a peek into how he raises the bar. Easy to read with practical tips throughout - this book is not just for fans of Ben already, but for anyone who needs to be reminded that health is a journey and we can all raise the bar for ourselves.

I found this book to be a perfect blend of inspiration and motivation! Also, having been on the Peloton platform for a few years, it’s always interesting to learn more about the coaches. The book kept me engaged and ready to push myself harder because I know I can! Highly recommend!!

I haven't read it yet but it came in good condition and seems like a good book so... Five stars

Found the book very personable ... the back story Ben relates is a great springboard for the advice and tips he gives. I laughed at points "trip to China", having had similar thoughts myself and believe it or not it made me cry at one point when Ben mentions that even finding milk for tea is something to be thankful for. - these few words touched on a deeply personal situation but was so good to know that other people "out there" also feel gratitude for such small things. I really enjoyed the book .... now on with that workout!

A captivating read from start to finish. Ben opens up in the book quite candidly about his life experiences, more than you'd know from his classes on Peloton. Each chapter closes out with a summary about how we can raise the bar in our own lives, filled with some great advice and tools on how to do so. It is a really great book you can come back to time and time again to reflect on the different themes of each chapter as your life goes on. Thoroughly enjoyed reading it!

This is a fantastic book from Ben Aldis.It is always interesting to dig into someone's background to see what motivates them. Ben doesn't hold back when talking about his childhood and what got him to where he is today.A really motivating story that will make you want to Raise the Bar in your own life.

This is an absolute gem! It's a personal, heartwarming collection of memoirs that truly touched my soul. I can't stress enough how sincere and powerful this book is. It serves as a guiding light, offering valuable coaching and insights into every aspect of our lives, regardless of age. Whether you're a young adult in school, just starting off in life, or facing difficult times, this is a must-read. Ben’s words will resonate deeply and provide comfort and inspiration when you need it most. Highly recommend it ❤️🫶
