Let’s go build some muscles!

Strength and nutrition coaching for women ready to build their dream physique

Sound familiar?

  • You've been consistent in the gym for years, but how you look hasn't changed much.

  • You've written your own programs, tried the exercises you saved on Instagram, and done the CrossFit and HIIT classes.

  • You roughly know what you should be doing but have no idea to turn that into a lifting program and now you have information overload. 

  • You keep wondering if the answer is a new diet or a better version of one exercise.

  • You had kids and now finally have the time to see what the strongest version of you looks like

  • You're heading toward perimenopause and refuse to go gently into that good night

  • You’re tired of making up your workouts and not really seeing progress.

  • You worked with a trainer and it still felt like random exercises.

  • If you miss a few days you don't know where to pick back up.

  • You want to look as athletic as you feel.

  • You want to do a pull-up. Okay, more than one.

  • You've watched my Stories on Instagram and thought, "I want to look like that." (Full transparency it was incredibly difficult for me to write that last sentence but I hear it so often that it felt like I was doing clients a disservice by not mentioning it. Still, eek 🫣) 

If any of those had you nodding your head, you’re in the right place. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Relax those shoulders. I’ve gotchu.

This is going to take longer than you think.

Perhaps not the words you’d expect to hear from your trainer, but I genuinely want you to succeed and so I need to make sure you start this journey off with appropriately managed expectations. Building muscle requires following a good program for a LONG time, and learning what effort looks like for you. Many women think they need special exercises and a ton of cardio, but what really moves the needle is sticking with the same high-quality programming and pushing hard every time you step foot in the gym.

My Approach

Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it won’t be fun. 

I love this stuff and take an insane amount of pride in creating workout plans that my clients actually look forward to doing. I 100% geek out about loading schemes, exercise selection, watching your strength numbers climb, and yes, flexing. Lemme see those selfies!

Working with me means that the only heavy lifting you’ll have to do is in the gym. No worrying about building your own workouts or managing the mental load of trying to figure out what to keep, progress, or get rid of so that you see the results you want. I’m here to guide you, support you, and cheer you along every step of the way.

Your program lives in the app and you decide the level of accountability that you need. You track your weights and reps, and I make sure you head into every workout knowing exactly what you need to do.

Two things I ask of every client:

  • Effort. Give 100% of what you have that day. Learning what hard actually feels like is part of the work, and most people are surprised how much more they have.

  • Communication. I can only help you if you tell me what's going on.

Ways to Work with Me:

Foster Fit (1:1 coaching): Fully customized 1:1 coaching and programming, designed specifically for your goals, needs, and equipment setup. Includes two options for accountability: weekly check-in calls, or coaching by message. Three-month commitment. 

  • Best for: women who want direct 1:1 accountability and a highly individualized exercise program. 

Built Bodies: My signature small group coaching program that provides a 12-week progressive full-body training plan, full nutrition course, and weekly group coaching call.

  • Best for: women looking for a program with a clear start and finish, who want structure but don’t need the specificity or accountability of 1:1 coaching

Hi, I’m Betsy and I can’t wait to work together.

I've been coaching since 2011, first in commercial gyms, and then I moved into the online space in 2020. After all these years I’m still obsessed with helping people discover what strength can do for them.

Lifting weights really is one of my favorite things to do (duh!), and when I’m not in the gym you’ll find me either working on programming for clients, watching sports (go Ravens!), or hanging with husband and two daughters, High School Musical soundtrack on full blast.
