  • Always Something, Never Nothing - Becky Searls
    2024/11/12

    In this episode, we're excited to introduce our guest, Becky Searls. We recently met Becky at Rails World and learned about her business, Better with Becky—a fitness training program focused on people with a growth mindset. Over the past year, she worked with her husband Justin to build her first product, Build with Becky, a personalized workout program and fitness app built in Rails, which launched publicly during the conference! We chat with Becky about her professional journey starting as a K-12 educator, becoming a fitness instructor, building her own business, and now moving into the product owner role to develop a custom app.

    More About Becky

    Becky Searls is definitely not another influencer, and she’s more than a personal trainer. Her experience in education, embrace of evidence-based research, and personable judgment-free approach sets her apart in an industry famous for baseless hype and scammy practices.


    Spending over a decade as an accomplished foreign language teacher, Becky truly has the heart of an educator. When she learns something important, her first thought is always how to best share it with others. She also knows life's greatest lessons are found outside of the classroom. So as she dives deeper into research papers spanning health, fitness, nutrition, and psychology, she can’t imagine keeping all the useful things she discovers to herself.


    That's what Better with Becky is: the place she translates cutting-edge science into practical tools and everyday advice for the rest of us.


    That may explain why, as her debut product, Build with Becky doesn't look like other exercise programs. Yes, it will give you a great workout. But you won't believe how much you'll learn along the way, without even realizing it. And yes, you'll probably see progress toward your fitness goals. But don't be surprised if you also gain deeper insights that connect with other parts of your life. That's just part of what you get with Becky!


    Training and certifications include:


    • Master of Arts, Education (The Ohio State University)
    • National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA-CPT)
    • Mindfulness-Based Behavior Change Facilitator
    • Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified Coach (PN-L1)
    • USA Weightlifting Level 1 Certified Coach (USAW-L1)
    • Pain-free performance specialist (National Academy of Sports Medicine)
