Philly Girls in Motion was founded by Beth Devine, a lifelong athlete and fitness enthusiast who left a position in corporate America to get back to working with kids.  In 2009, Devine began running fitness programs for two schools in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and after teaming up with others to run a large basketball clinic in South Philadelphia, realized that the city was the place that needed more activities and programs for girls in the area of fitness and nutrition.

Seeing the need to get girls active and moving while teaching them how to properly fuel their bodies, Devine got together with teachers, nutritionists, personal trainers, fitness professionals and created the program behind Philly Girls in Motion.  With the support of the Philadelphia Recreation Department, Philly Girls in Motion is running programs at three Rec Centers.  A fourth program takes place for middle school students at Girard College.

Beth has a long history in running programs for kids, including several years running the Future Stars Basketball, Field Hockey and Day Camps and has been a CYO coach and clinician for nearly 15 years.

Devine is a runner and triathlete who just completed her second Half Ironman triathlon.
