One on One Training with Sue

I came to Sue in good shape, but with a desire to improve my core strength without spending too much time exercising. I gave Sue 45 mins a week for a full year, and she improved more than my core. She gave me balance and flexibility and a much greater awareness of my own body. Best of all, she taught me the TRX language and with that I can go to TRX classes at my gym and feel like a real pro. Sue is incredibly patient and supportive. She understands what your strengths and weaknesses are and builds on them to make you stronger and more confident. Thank you Sue for all you did for me!

Working out with Sue has been a joy — I actually look forward to our sessions! TRX is tough, but Sue explains things well and lets you feel comfortable working at your own pace. She’s super knowledgeable and patient, and definitely knows how to make you work! All around great experience that I highly recommend anyone try.

I’m a little workout-​phobic, but getting in shape with Sue and TRX was actually a pleasure. Plus working out under the trees is really peaceful. Now I’m spoiled!

I love Sue. I love that Sue is helping me get in the best shape ever! TRX is no joke, but Sue is a great trainer and doesn’t make you feel like a total moron when you get your legs stuck in the straps or fall on your face (not that I have done either of these things, just speaking theoretically). I love working outside, I even love almost throwing up because I am working so hard. Mostly I love how great I feel about myself after a session with Sue.
I am writing this review the night before my next TRX training session because I can’t sleep since I am excited to get my workout on tomorrow. If you are interested in getting in fab shape, enjoy doing crazy things that involve suspending parts of your body and making contact with muscles you were unaware existed, then you need to work with Sue!!!

I totally agree with the comments below– Sue makes TRX and personal training fun, worthwhile, and engaging. I was really impressed with Sue’s attention to proper form, because good form is the basis of a safe and productive workout. Additionally, Sue has great energy, a ridiculous wealth of fitness knowledge, and an easy-​going communication style.
My workouts with Sue were at the same time challenging and engaging, which isn’t true for all TRX trainers. I only wish I had more sessions!

TRX?
… is for people who enjoy a healthy challenge and want the flexibility to train outdoors.
Sue?
… is the best of ALL worlds. She brings to the table her experience as an educator at Cal, has extensive dance/​body mechanic knowledge which accentuates the importance of a FULL range of movement. Add her coach training and mom heart. Training w Sue can’t get any better; she knows just how to challenge and encourage you to help you reach your maximum potential. A terrific sense of humor balanced with buttoned-​up professionalism, and empowerment to go it alone.
Me?
…I’m not a «joiner» and have NEVER bought any piece of workout equipment, save the yoga mat sitting in my storage unit. I have since left the Bay (and Sue: sad:) but I have purchased my very own TRX and have been working out on my own. The best part is that I can hear Sue’s alignment corrections and isolation pointers in my head still! I can’t believe I enjoy working out– all thanks to Sue.
Anyone who trains with Sue is truly lucky and won’t want to let her go. Not to mention a «look-​hot-​naked» body. GO SUE!

I concur with the other reviewers, Sue is a very good trainer. I know it might be weird seeing someone with so many positive reviews, but it’s okay, she’s the real deal.
WHY DO THIS TYPE OF TRAINING?
I also took a flyer on this via Groupon. I had quit my gym for financial reasons, but find I’m not doing enough weight work, which is critically important, especially for women, and also I’m a long distance cyclist who is getting some negative effects of unbalanced muscles.
Having done TRX a couple of times now, I can say Sue can (and does) adjust this training to any level — you do not have to be a super athlete, you can be a person who has trouble doing one push-​up and it can work for you, but you have to stick with it (as with all practices) — either with a trainer, or by buying the TRX and working out on your own.
I really appreciate Sue’s attention to form, this will be super helpful as I work out with the TRX on my own. And she’s absolutely willing to coach as often as your interest/​budget allow. So if you have the resources to do 1 – 2 x per week with her, that’s cool, but so is a less regular schedule with check-​ins for form and new ideas on keeping the work-​out interesting. Plus, there are TRX DVDs and a lot of stuff on YouTube, and some yoga/​fitness studios are doing group classes with it.
Funny coincidence — after my first session, I had dinner with a friend who’s a trainer in South Bay for some very high end clients (athletes & monied type). He raved about the TRX, has one is his house, etc., etc.(where have I been?).
So, try a couple of sessions to get a sense if it’s for you (and yes, you’ll probably be a little sore the next day — fair warning), but that will diminish if you decide it’s for you & stick with it.

Dance, dance with suspension training! Sue’s knowledge of the body and dance moves combined with the TRX suspension work is simply phenomenal! I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but I couldn’t believe how easy and difficult each workout session was. I LOVED it even though I ache in places that I didn’t know I actually worked out. Having Sue as the trainer made all the pain gained well worth it. I’m addicted. I love TRX because of Sue! Darn you, Sue! I actually love working out now!

Great trainer! I was lucky enough to grap Sue’s special offer on Living Social and did 3 sessions with her learning about the TRX and suspension training. It’s a really impressive workout that can be fine tuned to anyone’s ability and provides and amazing workout. Sue was fantastic to work with and was a great teacher. Excited to do more work with her and more work with the TRX! Thanks.

Sue is an outstanding trainer who personalizes the routine to your abilities and focuses on the areas you need the most. She’s knowledgable, inspirational and makes working out fun! TRX is portable, so you can use it indoors or out. Don’t wait — call Sue now. You won’t regret it!

Sue is a dancer/​teacher/​choreographer. Need I say more? She is observant, precise, demanding and articulate. If you’re the type who wants to hang out, chit chat and get psycho-​therapy from your trainer, don’t bother Sue. She’s serious about the TRX training and really wants you to not only become stronger, but train correctly so that you don’t injure yourself. WIth that said, she’s not going to boot camp you (unless that’s what you want). She will ask you at the beginning of the session as to what pace you prefer. That’s what’s so great about the TRX system. You have many options that fit your body, but still hit all of the right muscles. Sue is there to make sure you do it with integrity and form. Go to her. She’s awesome!!!

OMG Sue in one word. AMAZING! She is so patient and fun, and ensures that you have a strong work-​out, good form, and educates you along the way! One of the best work-​outs I’ve ever done! Thank you Sue! I feel like a million bucks!
