Suzanne Gerdes

A native New Yorker, Suzanne Gerdes has been studying Pilates since 2003.  As a way to prevent injuries as a dancer, she began taking classes and instantly fell in love with the mechanics of Pilates.  Suzanne was certified by Pilates Academy International in 2009 and has since been trained to work with cancer survivors, pre/post natal clients and injured clients in addition to teaching Cardiolates®, Redcord® Active, CoreAlign® and kettlebell training.

Suzanne has a BA in psychology from Vassar College and is currently pursuing her MS in nutrition and exercise physiology at Columbia University.  Her knowledge of anatomy, physiology and nutrition enables Suzanne to understand the body as a whole and relay it to her clients through balanced yet challenging workouts that are suited to each individual’s preferences and capabilities.  She will also help you determine your ideal body weight and estimate your required calorie needs.
