Tribe Testimonials

Insights Consulting has been an extremely satisfied corporate client of Susan VanHoosen and Inspired By Fitness since January of this year (2014). In a business environment that is focused on preventative health and wellness as it relates specifically to rising health insurance costs – it only made sense to implement a program for our employees. With redesign of our newly acquired offices, we add......

Hello - my name is Becca Williams and I have been training with Susan for a little over a year. As a result of working with Susan, I have been able to lose the 10 lbs I had tried to lose on my own without success. I ran a 5K with Susan in a local race and was able to run the whole thing! I've cleaned up my eating, made a lifestyle change, stopped drinking Dt. Coke and started drinking water. Phys......

In late spring of this year my wife Zaida convinced me to start working out with her at “Inspired by Fitness”.  She had been going there for a couple of days a week for a few months.  I said she convinced me but in reality I convinced myself when I saw all the positive changes in Zaida and how it was changing her overall well being. When I started working out with Susan, I did not know what to exp......

"Fitness and exercise have always been part of my life. I wasn't really sure what a trainer could do for me, but I was in need of some help with diet and trying to shed some unwanted pounds.  As soon as I met Susan, I knew I wanted her insight into healthy eating and fitness!   She taught me a whole new way to eat!  I am a lover of food - but I didn't eat the good foods.  Susan's clean eating appr......

"We are so lucky to have had Susan Van Hoosen, CPT in our classes at Riverside JR High. She volunteered her time to “educate” our students on FUN-ctional Fitness activities that fit into our Muscular Strength and Endurance Fitness days. She came for 5 total days, showing all of our Wellness students the importance of maintaining or achieving a healthy “Functional” fitness level and the kids loved......

I started working out with Susan in mid-August.  I never thought that I would be able to continue working out for very long.  In the past, I would always try to lose weight first, because I didn’t think I had the energy to continue any type of workout regimen.  The problem is, I wasn’t losing any weight.  After being challenged by my daughter to seek out a personal trainer, my sister-in-law gave m......

Working with you (Susan) has helped me view myself in a new light where I am confident with who I am and my abilities. I finally feel powerful and like I am making a positive difference in my life. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for you. I have never met someone with such a genuine love for life and you have inspired me to find the good in everyday. For the first time in my life I ac......

I started working out with Susan in January of 2013.  Up until then, I had tried many diets, exercises, programs, books, diet pills, etc. with no success.  I had just turned 50 and was eager to make it stick, so working out with such a good friend, in a “safe” environment made a lot of sense.  I also thought I would be able to help her launch her business and be kind of her “experiment subject” as......

I have been working out with Susan for several months now and would HIGHLY recommend her. Her energy, commitment and dedication to MY WELL BEING is like no other. She is knowledgeable, motivational and over all just cares about me improving my health.  I am moving with better flexibility and purpose. She has taught me to prepare "fresh" and plan ahead with our meals. My busy schedule as a Realtor......

Training with Susan has been life changing. She has not only changed the way I look at exercise and healthy eating but she has changed the way I look at life. My husband jokes that she is more than just my trainer, she is my life coach. I began training with Susan in February right when I had fallen into a slump with exercise mainly because I had not found a workout routine that excited me or kept......

“I recommend Susan Van Hoosen strongly as a personal trainer!   I want to be fit for everyday life, sporting activities and to keep up with my two adorable Grandsons.   She has brought me significant results in a short time.   I am not the same person I was at our first visit.  I have gained tremendous ground in strength, endurance and flexibility.   Susan is amazingly gifted.  Her knowledge reach......

"Where do I start...I guess I'll start by saying that Susan's motivation to help other people live healthier more active lifestyles comes from a common pivotal event in our lives. The death of Trent Van Hoosen was beyond shocking. My cousin Trent, was my age and was more like my brother. He was my confidant and someone that I admired all of my life. I guess you could say that Trent's death was als......

"I started personal fitness training with Susan in March.  It did not take long to realize that while I was wanting to lose weight and get fit, it would be that and so much more! Knowing that Susan has been a picture of fitness, and health, I was eager to see what she might be able to do with someone like me.  Matter of fact, I said to her, "would you take the likes of me on?"  She did take me on......
