BIO/ABOUT BETSY

Posted by Editor on March 30th, 2009

HELLO!!!

Welcome to my website. I HAVE AN AMAZING STORY, one of overcoming hardships, and enduring great challenges, which has led me to where I am today, a motivator, coach and one who hopes to inspire all through positivity, strength and integrity.

My name is Betsy McNally and I am a  gymnastics coach, personal trainer, professional fitness competitor in the IFBB and a former high school teacher. I have been a gym rat my whole life!! I  began my trek into athletics as a competitive  Class One and Level 10 gymnast as a child and young adult at Queen City Gymnastics under the coaching of Gary Warren and Pat Jones.

As I went through my college years I continued to coach gymnastics and continued to workout and maintain a high level of fitness.  After graduating from Michigan State University I became a high school English teacher at Purcell Marian High School. There I was also the Assistant Athletic Director and  head gymnastics coach.

In 2001 I had a serious blood clot in my brain that almost killed me. In an amazing feat, I survived the trauma because the doctors said that I was extremely fit.  After weeks in the ICU and months of therapy, when  I came out of the illness I decided to retire from high school teaching and dedicate my life to teaching fitness.

As a personal trainer I continued to work out for health reasons and began seriously training as a bodybuilder/fitness competitor in the early 2000’s. After competing for a few years I attained my professional status as a fitness competitor. I am now back in Cincinnati (my hometown) and have decided to continue my journey coaching, teaching and helping people get healthy, fit and happy. I am not only a trainer but have also returned to my roots as a gymnastics coach for the level 9 and 10 teams at Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy.  Oh, and I also need to mention that I come from a great legacy of coaches, my father was a football coach for over 40 years and 30 of them were spent in the NFL with The Cincinnati Bengals, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants and most recently the Buffalo Bills!

I would love to train you!  Please read my list of services. I offer personal training sessions, group sessions, bootcamps, meal plans (I am a specialist in sports nutrition from the ISSA). I offer online programs as well and will be happy to consult with you to create the perfect package for you. Please contact me at betsy@bmhfitness.com or betztoad2002@yahoo.com.
