Benjamin Fry
Benjamin Fry is a Lecturer and Field Experience Coordinator for the Exercise and Movement Science Program at Bryant University. Prior to Bryant, Mr. Fry worked at the U.S. Army Research Institute for Environmental Medicine in the Thermal Mountain Medicine Division, where he researched human physiological response to austere environments including high altitude, and extreme heat. Mr. Fry received his Master's degree in Exercise and Sport Science from Merrimack College in 2022 and holds a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia. Mr. Fry maintains his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and is passionate about sharing his expertise and enthusiasm for exercise science in the classroom.
