"Next Fitness Star" Winner Betina Gozo Launches Fitness Classes

Fitness expert and Nike Master Trainer, Betina Gozo announces StrengthFarm® as her new fitness home for #TrainWithBetina group exercise classes. Gozo became the 2017 Next Fitness Star in August after winning an annual nationwide search conducted by Women’s Health magazine.

“I am so excited to bring my live sessions to this amazing performance facility!” explains Gozo. “I am thrilled about the opportunity to be part of this community and team.”

#TrainWithBetina group classes will be offered weekly, Monday-Friday in the mornings, and one mid-week evening option. Gozo will incorporate different modalities of strength and conditioning through explosive, mobility and stability movements. All fitness levels are welcome and participants will feel accomplished, strong and motivated as they are guided through circuit training, intervals and a variety of challenges.

"The StrengthFarm® community is extremely excited to have Betina bringing her training here for everyone,” explains Sam Johnson, founder of StrengthFarm. “Our goal is always to provide the best training environment possible to ensure everyone is getting stronger, fitter, and healthier while having fun together. We couldn't imagine a better fit for our philosophy of holistic performance training for all.”

Gozo, who grew up in the Chicagoland area, moved to Portland in 2016 to be closer to Nike's World Headquarters. She played bass for five years in a rock band before discovering her love for fitness. Gozo claimed the hype she felt from performing didn’t come close to what she felt while exercising and training. At Nike, she leads workouts that include functional strength moves, plyometrics, and core work.

Gozo works both in person and online with a wide variety of clients – from 8-year-old athletes to active aging seniors. Certified in Functional Movement Systems, she strives to keep all her clients moving correctly so that they can live long, healthy, and functioning lives, no matter where they live.

As the 2017 Next Fitness Star, Gozo will be featured in the upcoming March/April 2018 issue of Women’s Health magazine. Additionally, she will star in her own Women’s Health fitness series which includes a 12-week workout guidebook and videos to appear on WomensHealthMag.com and across Women’s Health’s social media channels.
