The last couple of years she is busy riding her Peleton( Chassin 4,500 rides and closing in fast). And swimming, endless hours enjoying swimming.
Susan was introduced to Pilates by a friend and then her daughter Brittany took the lead. Susan is fascinated by the complexity and simplicity of Romana Pilates.
“This Pilates program is so well constructed and multilayered. So much attention to detail to connect all the various moves on the different apparatuses to work specific parts of the body is phenomenal. All the while helping the client develop a much stronger and clearer mind body connection”
Seeing so much change in her own body. She was on board. Improved posture, huge increase in the flexibility of her back. Big increase mobility of her shoulders. Built a
PowerHouse that serves her well. Lastly, stability and strength in her feet and ankles. She has 4 sets of ortho boots she’s acquired over the years and believes she can speak strongly on Pilates being a game changer for her feet and ankles.
So… she became serious and wanted to be a certified instructor. She began working very diligently with the other instructors at the studio to prepare for the program. And on her 65th birthday she found herself officially accepted and started the program. A full year and a half later she completed the program and became a certified instructor.

When she first discovered Pilates she loved the way it energized her and felt like Pilates would be the perfect balance to her lifestyle. Brittany was amazed at how fast she felt her muscles become strengthened and more flexible. She had always done all sorts of different forms of exercise, but it was Pilates where she saw the most change in her whole body from the inside out. Just as Joseph Pilates had said, after 10 sessions she felt differences in her body.
Brittany loved the mind-body connection that Pilates brought her and how Pilates has enhanced her performance in other activities.
