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.
