CLASS TYPES
All online classes are 6 people max.
ESSENTRICS
A full-body stretching and toning workout that's great for most levels. This class builds strength, flexibility, speed, balance, and range of motion while releasing stress. Great for posture and complements all other sports and workouts.
ESSENTRICS Release, Rebalance, Restore (Open Level)
A slower-paced workout that restores full-body mobility while safely and slowly enhances strength and flexibility. Designed for people easing into exercising, recovering from surgeries, or those suffering from chronic pain, atrophy issues, or stiffness due to past injuries.
ESSENTRICS Aging Backwards
Very similar to the Open Level class, with more flexibility in terms of intensity and pace.
Private Training (personal, group or institutions)
Betty hosts personal training and private group sessions large and small in NYC. Feel free to contact to discuss your needs.
