Betty Forchuk
Betty’s
background as a grief counselor, having worked for
nearly two decades with terminally ill people in a
hospice environment, led in large part to her commitment
to health and fitness. The mental strain of building
long term relationships with short term people directed
her to other means of “decompressing”
and she became affectionately known as a “fitness
guru.”
She
works as a personal coach, trainer, and fitness consultant,
while maintaining a small and exclusive counseling
practice. As a speaker Betty has addressed groups
large and small, from national associations to corporations
to church groups from Newfoundland to British Columbia.
She conducts workshops and symposiums and has done
so at such diverse locations as the University of
Waterloo in Ontario, and the Banff Centre for Continuing
Education in Alberta.
She
is also the principal in Adrena-Line, a manufacturing
and distribution company of exclusive fitness products.
Betty
lives with her husband Rick in White Rock, B.C. They
have one daughter and two grandchildren.
