"Bike MS NYC was fortunate to have Lauren serve as our first "Bike MS Lecture Series" keynote speaker, focusing on strength and conditioning for our event participants.  Those in attendance were thrilled with the time and attention she gave to each individual question and specific training challenges.  Her handout materials were on-point and targeted to attendees' needs, and her presentation was relaxed, informative and fun. "

  “I received great feedback on the [marathon training seminar], which was informative as well as entertaining.  Lauren was well prepared, and definitely knew her stuff!  I would certainly have her back.”

  “There is something about Lauren that makes you want to listen to what she has to say.  If I didn’t understand a concept the first time, she would always find another way to explain it.  Most importantly, she created a comfortable environment for me to explore new ideas and challenge old ones.”

  “Lauren has been a vital and valued member of the EFTI Master Instructor team. She is a natural educator who brings enthusiasm, intelligence and humor to her teaching. Ms. Betancourt works hard to improve her skills and is constantly honing her presentation and teaching skills. I recommend her highly and without reservation!”
