I’m a health and fitness coach who serves women at different life stages
My name is Bree Argetsinger – but I’m also known as “The Betty Rocker,” a moniker I took on because it embodied what I saw as the best version of myself: a woman living an active, healthy lifestyle, a woman who loved herself, respected her body, took responsibility for her actions and herself, and was worthy of being a role model to those around her. A woman (a Betty) who was rocking not just her body, but her life.
This was the culmination of a long journey for me; I had to deliberately develop physical, mental and spiritual practices to support my goals, and starting out I had most things backwards. Intense experiences in my formative years left me with undiagnosed PTSD, depression, anxiety, and a lot of coping behaviors like drug and alcohol addiction, body dysmorphia, self loathing and feelings of unworthiness.
In seeking to heal and empower myself, I pursued many educational opportunities including formal education, mentorships, hands on learning experiences, workshops, EMDR therapy and a great deal of travel and self exploration, and eventually became a structural integrationist for many years, then later went on to become a CHEK certified exercise coach, an ISSA certified fitness nutrition practitioner, and founded The Betty Rocker brand to share some of the lifestyle, fitness and nutrition practices that had given me so much balance with others who would benefit from them as well.
So Betty Rocker reminded me in class that it’s been a long time since I’ve shared progress pics.
It’s been a long time since I took them, in fact!! So here we are – I’m really pleased! I see myself as trimmer, more toned, and with better posture, and all these things delight me. Now I want to add muscle … and maybe a tan, lol.

I always feel funny taking these pictures and especially posting them but I mainly do it because I read all these posts about people getting discouraged and not seeing results. I had these feelings too in the beginning and then all the sudden voila… after about 4 weeks I started see my muscles and it wasn’t until really about 9 weeks of the 90-day program and following the food menus that I started to see those areas that I didn’t think would ever go away, go away! So don’t give up. Just stick with it… I went off my rocker ( that’s what I like to call him when I stray from the exercise or eating program) several times. But that’s just called life. As long as you can get back on your rocker it will all work out. So my initial pictures were back in April of 2017 and the other pictures were today after completing over a Year’s worth of programs (in Rock Your Life). I never ever imagined that I would feel and look better at 52 than I ever have in my whole life.

I just want to thank you for myself and my husband! Pictures show our exterior changes, but how we feel about ourselves is the best of all! We couldn’t have done it without you! I love doing the batch preparation and it saves us so much time over the week. We signed up for the 90 day Challenge next, and are so excited!

What’s surprising me is what you said before “your stronger than you think.” I’ve been noticing when I feel I can’t do it any more I concentrate on it, and get it done.

#makefatcry Challenge
Today marks my 1 year Rock Your Life anniversary. I started MFC this time last year. Who knew I would build a home gym and complete Lioness twice along with other challenges mixed in.
I have not lost any weight but I know my body has changed composition and I am more comfortable in my own skin now. I have built muscle, a love for strength training, but most of all a community of amazing ladies to train with and get inspiration from.
My self worth and attitude toward my body have been altered through RYL. I am much kinder to myself now and better for it. I took progress photos today as I finished the Total Body Strength (challenge in RYL) yesterday!
