Charleszetta Smith Ford
Founder
Charleszetta, aka Coach Zetta, is a high-energy, licensed, physical education teacher, certified personal trainer, team lead and author with over twenty years of experience in the health and wellness field. After working in public schools for six years, she realized that the only way she could create an environment where women and children could have fun while exercising in a structured manner was to design her own large-scale fitness program. She took a leap of faith and launched Better Bodies 4 Us.
Better Bodies 4 Us is a health and wellness firm that was established in January 2007. They are headquartered in Charlotte, NC. In 2013, the firm was registered with the North Carolina Secretary of State as a Limited Liability Company (LLC). They specialize in Youth Services, Adult Virtual Fitness Classes, Nutritional Instruction, Teacher Training, Corporate Fitness Classes and Health and Wellness strategies. The firm’s vision is “to positively impact the lives of our community served by educating and motivating them to embrace healthier lifestyle choices daily.”
Coach Zetta’s love for encouraging children to move motivated her to write her first book, B3 Goes to the Playground in 2018. Her love of helping others utilize their gift of teaching group fitness classes, motivated her to expand her company of one to a team of multiple certified fitness instructors. It is her hope that numerous lives, near and far, will be motivated to become lifelong movers.
