Susan Crawford-Gonzalez

Susan Gonzalez,

Owner, Spa Lady South Orange

Though her roots were grounded in the Midwest Susan pursued her interest in Fashion and courageously ventured to the Big Apple to Attend FIT and follow her dream.  Susan simultaneously held a successful management position at Banana Republic/ Gap Inc while also studying full time.  After leaving the retail world Susan then planted her roots in West Orange NJ to start a family.

Following her true passion, Susan became a valued member of the Spa Lady team in West Orange NJ, excelling as a personal trainer.  Susan’s talent and drive quickly singled her out as a leader and she quickly rose to the top.

She harbored an overwhelming urge to fulfill her lifelong dream of owning and operating a gym of her own.  In the fall of 2007 the opportunity arose to take over ownership of the West Orange facility.  Susan rose to the challenge and with a great deal of hard work and determination she purchased the facility and moved it into a brand new state of the art health club in South Orange NJ.  Since then she has become an important pillar of the South Orange small business community and especially one that caters to the wellness of women. As the proprietor of Spa Lady Susan hopes her passion for health and fitness will inspire other women in the community and her club members.  She hopes to be a role model for her two daughters.  

Spa Lady South Orange, located at 51 Academy Street, is a full service women’s-only fitness center servicing over 1000 women with a strong commitment to improving the health, fitness, and lives of women.
