Hi, I’m Susan
I am an active lifestyle and exercise enthusiast who loves God and loves people. I strive to inspire, encourage, educate, equip and empower others to take charge of their own fitness, nutrition and health.
Navigating complex life challenges while maintaining physical fitness and keeping an active lifestyle are hard, but do-able with the right mindset, training and education. I also understand how to bridge the gaps between the course of injuries, surgeries and physical therapy to creatively adapt and safely get back to physical movement, enjoyable physical activities and functional strength. I deeply understand the process of dealing with pain and rehabilitation while still maintaining an active lifestyle mindset. Personally, I love being challenged to grow and I am passionate about encouraging others to do the same!

Personalized Fitness Training and Coaching for Women, Small Groups and Large Group Fitness Classes
I specialize in individual and small group women's fitness training and coaching at all ages and stages as well as teaching custom group fitness workout classes. I also offer several fitness training services like custom workout classes for small and large groups, training clients in their own environment using their own existing tools and resources, healthy meal prep coaching in the kitchen and workshops on how to create a fitness lifestyle at home and in the workplace.
I incorporate my experience and training in social work to help my clients with mindset work and the hard part of incorporating a fitness lifestyle into the complex network of life demands in work, school, relationships, parenting, etcetera. I approach personal training through both my knowledge and experience in physical fitness and my social work lens, with a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model, meaning every person has a unique story and goals influenced by all of those factors. This lens is useful in identifying and removing potential barriers to achieving one's physical fitness goals.
I pursue constant learning within the intersection of physical fitness (especially women's specific physiology), injury rehabilitation, neuroscience and mental health, including experiences of anxiety, depression, struggles with body image, relationships and difficult or even traumatic life experiences. With this perspective, I am trauma informed in my practice and can help clients with complex circumstances and issues keeping them from their health and fitness goals.
See prices below. Note: for seniors or people with disabilities on very limited, fixed incomes, I offer a reduced rate of $50/hour. I also have a very limited number of scholarships available each year for reduced rates for people with financial hardship, but motivated to work toward their goals. Contact me to inquire about applying for either of these options.
