Susan has been a dedicated teacher of Pilates for over 25 years. Susan began her fitness career as a fitness model and competitive bodybuilder. She sought out Pilates as a way to balance her training and lengthen her bulky muscles. She connected instantly with Pilates. Pilates changed her life and her body and became the perfect match and career for Susan, harmoniously combining the body with the mind. Susan is very passionate about teaching Pilates and educating people about their bodies. She teaches with compassion and with intellect. She brings a smile and positive energy to every session and class and strives to offer each client a beneficial and enjoyable experience. As a Master Trainer for Club Pilates for the past 7 years, she is honored to be able to share her knowledge and passion with future instructors in order to be of service and share her love of the Pilates Method. Trish: I am so excited to be a Master Trainer to share my knowledge with others while continuing to grow myself. I became a personal trainer in the gym world back in 1997 and have taught everything from kickboxing to yoga. I fell in love with Pilates in 2007 when asked to sub a mat class at the gym I was working at. I began my schooling with John Garey and Stott Pilates immediately. Once certified I was able to own a studio with a physical therapist learning rehab and athletic based methods of practice. I then became Pilates Coordinator for Life Time learning best practices of running a team while personal training and group pilates instruction. I have been with Club Pilates for 8+ years now and absolutely love it. I love teaching and learning from others and look forward to the opportunity to lead new instructors and be a part of their journey.
