Betti Buck "As an educator, I am driven by a passion to teach, help, demonstrate, and motivate others to learn. As a certified fitness professional, I teach a wide variety of formats as well as provide the knowledge, support, and tools to achieve desired results. My love for fitness began 16 years ago when I started as a Zumba instructor, personal training and group exercise instructor. I opened a studio in Ohio where I helped hundreds of people achieve their fitness goals. I have come to witness that the one thing that holds many people back from adherence to exercise is limiting beliefs, so I became a Master NLP coach to be of better help. Along the way I have ventured with NPC BodyBuilding competitions, through which I’ve learned much more about discipline. Whether you join my step class, strength, metabolic conditioning, HIIT, bootcamp, Pilates, dance, or circuits - I promise a glow (sweat) that will make you grow (muscles)."

Fun fact, I was also a belly dancer (some 20 years ago!). Some of my credentials include Physical Activity and Public Health Specialist, Mental Health First Aid Trainer, Personal Trainer, Group Fitness & Spin Instructor, Stretch Coach, and Yoga Teacher with an emphasis on supporting individuals with trauma.

To me there is no better place to meet friends, laugh, sweat, move and find encouragement than in group exercise."
