Having experiences some health problems of her own, Suzanne believes strongly that exercise, a healthy diet, and proper nutrients have contributed to her ability to remain active and healthy. She understands that good health does not necessarily mean that you have to have the strongest or most muscular body. What it does mean is that you can live to your fullest potential, have more energy, feel better about yourself and enhance the quality of your life. After working part-time in the fitness industry for more than 23 years, Suzanne wanted to use her passion and knowledge for fitness and health to help others. Her lifelong dream of opening her own fitness studio became a reality in February of 1996.
