Bettylynn Szal

Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. I always had a love of sports and fitness since I was a child.  I always had the energy to participate in all the extra- curricular activites such as softball, basketball, cheerleading and track.

At nineteen I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and went through a year of grueling treatment.  After receiving my clean bill of health in 1992 I decided to pursue my passion in the fitness industy. I started teaching aerobic classes and did personal training part time. 

In 2003 after my children were both in school I opened a fitness center for women called It Figures. My program focused on improving women’s self esteem through a lifestyle that embraced physical fitness.

I am in my eighth year in business and have over 400 members. I  do personal training and offer over 40 classes a month. These classes include body sculpting, cardio sculpt and weight training, I personally instruct some of these classes two times daily.  I have also expanded my serivces and have been working with women that have had breast cancer.  Understanding the distinctive needs of women after their diagnoses I have expanded my club for women to include a specially tailored program to teach women there is life after cancer.  This is one example of the thoroughness and foresight in which I help women achieve physical fitness in every circumstance.

I have made it my mission to share my knowledge and experience with others.  It brings me joy and satisfaction improving peoples lives.
