Bio

Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Betsy started working out at a young age. In high school she ran on the Cross Country team and became “hooked” on fitness and a healthy lifestyle which included a vegetarian diet - a far cry from the food she grew up with in the South. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a BA in Journalism, Betsy took a job with Marketing Outreach, Inc, a marketing company that promotes sporting events around the country. As her passion for fitness and healthy living continued to grow, she decided it was time to move to the fitness capital of the U.S. - Los Angeles. She taught fitness classes for Beverly Hills Parks and Recreation and was a trainer at Equinox. She now owns and operates Betsy’s Basic Training, a Personal Training Company in Santa Monica.
