Deeper Than Fitness By: Francheska “Fancy” Felder The growing fitness influencer believes that everyone can grow and become better through fitness. Coach Bev also hosts a fitness and health segment, “Fit & Fierce”, which airs on SwagHer Magazine’s Facebook page and has been published in Sheen Magazine, Bronze Magazine, and several other publications. Fancy: So welcome back, Coach Bev! Please tell us about the services GenFit offers, as I know they have changed a little since you were last featured here. Beverly: GenFit currently offers in-person and virtual training sessions. I’m in the process of expanding my footprint and rebranding. Over the years, I’ve grown to realize that exercise is the last step in our wellness plan. However, a good wellness plan should include mindset, so I’m developing a coaching program that’s more inclusive of what’s needed for a successful journey. Christina: Genesys Fitness got its name because it signified a rebirth for the forgotten woman. Who is the forgotten woman? Beverly: At specific points in our lives, we’ve all experienced this feeling. The forgotten woman works at a job and is often unrecognized for her efforts; she works tirelessly to provide for our families and often puts herself last. She becomes depleted because she’s poured out everything for everyone else. It’s not uncommon that we forget ourselves. My goal is to help women rediscover their magic and take care of themselves.

everly K. Johnson is a motivational life coach, fitness trainer, and “girlfriend of authority”. As the CEO of Genesys Fitness, Coach Bev believes selfcare takes priority over caring for others because it is in caring for ourselves that we make the best caregivers. Coach Bev wants to help “forgotten” women, those who have lost their way in life. The health and fitness trainer thinks that by helping these women rediscover who they are after suffering a loss, they will be empowered to become their ideal self – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Genesys Fitness helps women grow into their best selves.
Christina: How do you think GenFit has helped these forgotten women? Beverly: I’ve seen my clients (affectionately called my DEVAS) reach their goals over the years.
Having been a Zumba instructor for years, Coach Bev says she was constantly approached by clients asking how to improve their exercise program and reach their goals. As an instructor, she wanted to provide the best information to enable her students to achieve their goals effectively and safely. It was only a natural progression for her to create Genesys Fitness (GenFit). SwagHer Magazine
