Functional Fitness
and flexibility
training specialist
I’m GeeGee Johnson (AKA Billi Beretta) and my mission is to create an environment where everyone has access to better daily living through nurturing their strength, mobility and flexibility. I am here to mentor and support you, whether you are an athlete with specific goals, or just beginning your journey toward a healthier lifestyle!
I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and have completed numerous accompanying courses in Fitness Nutrition, Injury Prevention, Functional Training and Behavioral Change Coaching. I have also been an instructor/guest instructor for the Academy of Aerial Fitness since 2019. During this time, I have taught numerous levels of Pole, Dance, Flexibility, Strength and Conditioning and Introduction to Balances/Handstands.
Beyond teaching, I am also a performer in numerous disciplines such as pole, stilt walking, silks, lyra and gogo. I have been on stage with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Sickick, Henry Fong, Bingo Players, Borgeous, Jauz and Le Twins.
I believe heavily in holistic health and lean into that community. This includes supporting (and teaming up with) other small businesses and groups to help guide those looking to add breath-work, meditation, preventative healthcare, nutrition, and other modalities that give us well-rounded results and balance in all areas of our day-to-day lives. I am especially interested in uplifting women’s groups, focusing on those that could benefit the most, such as pregnant, postpartum, perimenopausal/menopausal/post-menopausal women who may feel that they don’t currently get enough support for their needs.

Class Information
Strength &
Conditioning
Group Class 1 Hour
This class was designed for all levels and anyone who wants to increase their functional fitness, mobility, endurance, cardiovascular health and overall strength. Curriculum caters toward bodyweight exercise and so that individuals can work out from their homes (or other spaces outside of a gym) with little to no equipment/low expense. For those working toward specific athletic endeavors, there will be advances we can use, and modifications for those who are beginning their fitness journey.
Monday @ 6 pm MST
Thursday @ 11 am MST
Active Flexibility
Group Class 1 Hour
This class is designed to gain overall flexibility and mobility, as well as work toward our splits in all ways, more open shoulders and increased thoracic mobility. The key to the class is that it is not through passive flexibility/using gravity, but rather through methods of active, dynamic and resistance exercises. This is done to lengthen and strengthen the muscle, protect our joints and add stability to the kinetic chain.
Monday @ 7:10 pm MST
Thursday @ 12:10 pm MST
Private Lessons
Similarly structured to the group classes offered, but in a one-on-one setting, personalized for your body and fitness needs. We will work together to go through your SMART goals, obstacles or barriers and how to overcome them, and cater to helping correct your personal imbalances and weaknesses while further accessing your strengths.
If you thrive in a community setting for your movement practice and you are in the El Paso or surrounding area, I am currently a guest instructor at the Academy of Aerial Fitness every Wednesday night. My class offerings are Handstand Basics/Prep at 6:10 PM and Active Flexibility at 7:15 PM. AAF is an outstanding studio with expertly skilled instructors teaching ALL levels of numerous apparatuses. If you have ever dreamed of performing and competing, need a new form of workout, or just want to fly and dance, this is the place for you!
