FUNCTIONAL FITNESS

Dynamic Stretching • Personal Training

Essentrics® is a no/low-impact, dynamic stretch workout using body weight to lengthen and strengthen from head to toe. The workout balances all +650 muscles and conditions our bones, joints, and fascia. Created in Canada, Essentrics is popular among both men and women - Olympic athletes and chronic pain sufferers, and everyone in between. The method is also known as "Classical Stretch by Essentrics®," the #1 rated fitness show on PBS since 1999.

Betty is the first fully certified Essentrics instructor in NYC. She is also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist, and AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor. After a period of chronic illness, she discovered Essentrics which helped restore her health, and resolved to study and teach it. Her clients include men and women at various ages and fitness levels.

Betty is the instructor for the intelligent and discerning.
