As a Nike Master Trainer, musician, performer, and budding entrepreneur Betina has spent most of her life building a strong foundation for her versatile set of creative interests. Her background ranges from stage, dance, and on-camera instruction to training in guitar, bass, and piano. In both grade school and high school, she was actively engaged in a variety of activities such as choir, jazz band, dance team, plays, and musicals. Throughout the years, she found that nothing fulfilled her spirit more than helping others, so she became a Certified Personal Trainer.
Betina defines fitness training at it’s best! Over the years I have worked with several personal trainers and none compare to her. When I started with Betina, I was frustrated with injuries and not making progress, she listened to my problem areas and has trained me to the goals I had been seeking to attain for so long. Betina has an incredible eye for form which has been very beneficial to keeping me injury-free. Her awesome personality and creativity in workouts keep it interesting and have boasted muscle gains I could not be more happy with. For the first time, ever, I am confident with my body image and owe it to B!”

I’ve had the pleasure of training with Betina in two different capacities. First, we trained one on one together, and the experience was incredible. She is so personable and her positive energy is absolutely contagious. The hour we would spend together would fly by, as we were talking, laughing and WORKING. She has a way of pushing you to your limit, then just a bit further, giving you the most amazing feeling of pride an accomplishment. She tailors each workout to the individual and really helps you tackle all of your fears in the gym. One of my fears was taking group fitness classes, which happens to be the second way I’ve worked with Betina: in her group classes at CrossTown Fitness. Once Betina convinced me to try her Total Body and Strength classes at CTF, I was instantly hooked. She designs workouts that are fresh, fun and effective. I left every class excited to come back for more, which is the reason I’m still regularly attending these classes over a year later. I have her to thank for helping me find a true love for all things fitness. You’d be hard pressed to find a more genuine, professional, personable and dedicated trainer than Betina.”

I would compare a good trainer to how my wife explains her relationship with her stylist. When you find the right one, your relationship takes on a meaning that few understand. But her loyalty to that relationship is unbreakable. I used to question why she is paying what she does when there are cheaper alternatives. It wasn’t until she compared her relationship with “her person” to my relationship with my trainer did I get it. Betina at Canvas Training was “my person”. She is an amazing listener. We always talked about goal setting. Things I desired to accomplish and things she recommended based on her observations. She has a great ability to form a connection with you and pays attention to the small things. She created a custom plan and provided great health & wellbeing guidance to ensure training extended beyond the gym and became a lifestyle. What we accomplished together not only was extremely fulfilling from a fitness standpoint; but the friendship that was formed holds true to this day. I have worked with countless trainers in multiple states (Chi, NYC, LA, Dallas, Atl, Boston) no one comes close. I am more than willing to answer any questions you may have if you are thinking about working with the folks at Canvas Training. Feel free to reach out rosegs4848@yahoo.com”

Working out with Betina has truly changed my life. Not only have I lost weight, but I have a completely new, positive outlook on exercise and health. I have lost almost 30 pounds in five months and still losing! For years, I would make every excuse not to workout. When I did make it to the gym, I would get so bored on a treadmill, etc., or could not motivate or push myself. Taking Betina’s group fitness classes changed my view on exercising. She provides amazing instruction and gives great personal attention to your form. Betina is an amazing motivator during her butt-kicking, hour-long class! She also changes it up every class and she comes up with fresh, new routines that are challenging and fun. The hour flies by and you don’t even realize it. I always leave feeling stronger, an amazing sense of accomplishment and with the motivation to do it again the next day!”
