About

Bilal Benn, former Pro Basketball Player and CEO of Workhorse Academy has been playing basketball for most of his life. Bilal developed a reputation for being a “gym-rat” and was often referred to as a “workhorse” due to his uncanny ability to focus and “lock-in” when learning and implementing difficult basketball skills. Bilal has dedicated most of his life to basketball and master training. Bilal played pro basketball in Lithuania, Israel, Portugal, Canada, Dominican Republic Tour and the NBA G-League in China. He's currently one of Nike Basketball Camp's premier Trainers/Camp Directors. Bilal became a certified “I’m Possible Trainer” in 2012 and quickly realized that his unique style and skills could propel novice or professional athletes to the next level. Bilal's training resume includes current NBA Players and college players alike. His professional and innovative training style combined with his work ethic has contributed to the success of every type of player performing at every level of the game.

I enjoy putting a smile on these young men and women by helping them reach their full potential on and off the court.

    A little over a year ago we were looking for a coach to train our daughter who had recently started playing basketball and we decided to check out Workhorse Academy. To say that Bilal has made an impact on her basketball skills is an understatement! From day one she left his gym with an improved shot and confidence. We have been to other training sessions and none of them have even come close to the level of detail that he instills in his players. Not only is he a great coach, he is also a great person. We have never felt like he was just taking our money as many other trainers do. My daughter respects and looks up to him more than he knows because he doesnt let her get away with being mediocre. Bilal pushes her to be her best everytime she steps on the court and you cant buy that! If youre looking for a trainer, dont hesitate to check out Workhorse.

    My daughter Taylor went to a couple of sessions over the last few weeks. I have been meaning to shoot you a text to let you know that what you are doing is awesome. The attention to detail on the footwork is so huge and so often overlooked by other trainers. Taylor loves your sessions. Thank you for the work you put in.
