Flex Appeal Functional Nutrition Therapy

Barb Beavis 

Functional Nutrition Practitioner

Personal Trainer 

My goal is to help clients achieve a balanced lifestyle that encompasses all dimensions of health & wellness.  As a Certified Personal Trainer, I strongly believe in the necessity for an active lifestyle incorporating a balance of all the compulsory components of fitness and making smart food choices when it comes to you and your family, not only for optimal health, but also for disease prevention.  

My passion for health and fitness led me to also becoming a Certified Nutritionist.  Over the years, it has given me great satisfaction to pass along my existing knowledge and enthusiasm with the highest standard of service, safety and professionalism to those wanting to adopt a lifestyle of physical and mental well-being.  While my career has been primarily as a personal trainer, recently I have chosen to switch gears and focus more intently on my nutrition education.  The time I have spent with clients helping them to improve their fitness has led me to realize that most people really just need help sifting through the weeds of nutrition advice.  More often than not I encounter clients that come to me for exercise but need much more than that to improve their health. 

In the beginning I trained clients at their homes, in nearby parks, or at a client’s preferred gym.  In 2007 I opened my own training facility for women only.  It was located on Broadway Avenue.  In 2008 I obtained my Nutrition Certification.  Owning my own studio taught me a lot and one of the lessons I learned was that running a business took me away from what I loved best---helping clients improve their health!  I closed that studio and went on to become the Fitness Manager at Motion Fitness.  I absolutely loved working there!  I was very busy managing my team of trainers and training my own clients as well.  Sadly, I outgrew the company and needed to move on. 

In 2013 I married and in 2016 we had our daughter, and in 2018 came our son.  When I’m not meeting with clients I like to exercise, do a yoga practice, play with my kids, go to the lake, travel, spend time with my husband, and hang out with friends.  On my nightstand you will find books on nutrition! 

With 21 years experience as a personal trainer and nutritionist my ultimate goal is to teach my clients how to balance the three necessary components of living a healthy life: a healthy mind, a healthy body, and a healthy spirit.
