  • Bev is a great teacher and coach and very motivating. My experience was so positive that I really don’t know what could be done differently. Bev is awesome! I had reservations that the workouts would be way more advanced than what I was able to do but Bev provided modifications, and lots of encouragement building my confidence and my strength. Thank you!
