Susan's approach is holistic: there is a thoughtful balance between mind, body, and attitude. It'll be evident from the first meeting how committed she is to your well-being; simply put, she cares more. Do what she says, and you'll get results. More importantly, you'll get a sustainable program that can be consistently maintained. My daughter and wife also work with her, and our whole family benef......

"When training with Susan, whether through a workout or health and nutrition coaching, I never feel judged, only motivated. Susan always meets you where you are and encourages you to aspire to your own personal best, not anyone else's. No matter how tiny the goal is that I reach, Susan makes me feel like I've climbed Everest every time!" Amanda T.   ...

I was introduced to Susan in 2014 and was immediately impressed with her passion for healthy living and obvious desire for helping others.  I first invited her to meet with our corporate wellness team, which has led to a great relationship between our organization and Susan.  Since that first meeting, she has taught numerous fitness classes at our facility, and has served as a Speaker to large em......

I am a client of Susan’s.   I want to share my experience.   I went to six sessions, quit for over a year due to personal circumstances and came back.   One of Susan’s specialties is not always obvious.  She is extremely talented at meeting you where you are, and her genuine spirit exudes encouragement and kindness.  She has the natural ability to identify your starting point and develop an exerci......

"When I started working with Susan my son was just shy of his first birthday. Since finding out I was pregnant almost 2 years prior, I hadn't worked out religiously nor did I think a good workout consisted of anything less than an hour at the gym doing weights and cardio. I had post-baby weight that I wanted to shed, but I also wanted to focus on re-building my strength. During our first consultat......

I started my journey years ago to strive to be healthy as I aged and I thought I was doing a pretty good job at it. I am a married  59 year old father of 2 and now a proud grandpa that wanted to always be as healthy as possible. I had been a runner for years doing Mini Marathons and 2 Marathons after I was 50. I came to Susan about 6 months ago feeling like I could do more to help myself after gai......

  "A Know It All Speaks: My name is Tim Prescott and I am currently 49 years old. On September 21st, 2013 on a flight home from Ireland I suffered a myocardial infarction (heart attack) mid-way over the Atlantic. I did not realize what it was at the time but fortunately for me I had developed what is known as collateral circulation within the vessels of my heart. Had I not, I would not be wri......

Susan's fitness classes have been absolutely fabulous.  They have boosted my energy, helped me lose weight and get back on track with regular exercise. Susan’s health coaching to add protein, more raw veggies and water along with how to read and understand food ingredients labels have also contributed to my weight loss. What a great health resource this class has been and looking forward to many m......

"I have been working with Susan since October of 2014 and I have lost 5" across my stomach, 3" off my hips, increased and toned my upper body (doubled my pushups and now perform on toes!) and core strength (leaner & more toned) and flexibility and ran my first 5K in May ('15)!  I know firsthand how Susan is an inspiration to all she meets."   ...

Susan,  I love coming to your class and look forward to it each week!  I always feel de-stressed and more energized when I leave.  I have maintained my weight and have lost a couple inches along the way.  I am sad to say, with being so busy at work, I have stopped working out at lunch other days through the week.  Your class is the only one I have been attending.  You have inspired me to try to ma......

I love Susan's Cardio Core Class and would love to go twice a week if possible.  I have had back problems for several years now and I have to say that this the first time in years that my back feels so much better!!   I feel that Susan's class has helped me strengthen my back and core to point that most days I don’t feel any pain at all.  In addition, her help with the proper techniques which is v......

Catherine S. "I am really enjoying this class.   It is beneficial for me to not only exercise but to hear and learn about the things that help me to live a healthier life.  I like doing the exercises that strengthen the parts of a woman that make you look  “good”:  a healthy firm back side , toned arms legs and thighs.  I look forward to class every week and it does make me feel so much better. ......

I set out with a big goal in mind - To loose 15 lbs by my wedding day.  I had 4 months to accomplish this goal. I took all the advice and direction Susan gave me. Her encouragement was amazing! The first couple weeks were tough, I wanted to quit, but Susan helped me focus on my goal and she knew it was obtainable. By the 4th week I was well on my way. I could see even immediate changes in my body......

Susan led a fitness class at our church last winter for several weeks. I took what I learned from the class, lost 35 lbs and have built muscle in my arms and core. I definitely recommend Susan to help you reach your goals! She is very kind and very inspiring. ...

Since joining Susan at Inspired By Fitness, I have seen drastic improvements in my health and fitness. Not only have I lost 35 pounds, but Susan has taught me so much about living a clean and healthy lifestyle. The main thing that comes to mind is soda. For years I would crave and drink soda every single day. Now, I rarely even think about it and feel more energized than ever. The knowledge and li......

Training with Susan has definitely helped me and my husband learn to build a healthier lifestyle with making healthier decisions together. She is very encouraging and helps motivate us in the right direction while building my confidence. What works for me now is realizing quick workouts can be very effective leading me to a more balanced outlook rather than thinking I need an hour (to workout) or......
