Over the next decade, she went from as-green-as-could-be to building a full roster of clients in top commercial gyms, receiving her Masters of Human Performance from the University of Florida, presenting for national organizations (NSCA), guest lecturing at universities and gyms, and serving as a lead educator and mentor for trainers in their first job at a gym. Betsy created Foster Strength as a way to flip the script on the high rates of personal training attrition and fill in the education gaps to help that hopeful trainer find security, success, and satisfaction in their job! She continues to sharpen her own skills as a trainer with online clients in one-on-one sessions and digital programming. When she is not working, she is spending time with her wonderful family, working out, or watching Ravens football and Lightning hockey.
