“I have been working out with Susan for over a year now and am thrilled to have found her. I wanted a small class experience with someone who really understands how to work with “mature women.” She checks every single box. Knowledgeable, dedicated, professional, passionate, motivating and really focused on form. She cares deeply about her work and it shows. Her adaptability moving to Zoom workouts with our new COVID constraint has been a gift. I take three classes a week and look forward to each of them. Having a regular exercise routine and schedule has been critical for me during these trying times. She has built a community of wonderful women and I am thrilled to be one of them.”

“I have been going to Susan for about 2 years now. I loved the classes she taught in her home gym, because they were small, individualized and well paced. She watches everyone closely and can help modify any exercise to accommodate injuries or issues. Now with COVID-19, I have been attending her zoom classes 2x a week on average, and I feel as though I'm in better shape than I've been for decades. The classes are varied, interesting, tailored to meet different levels of expertise/ability, and really fun! The hour goes by quickly and I'm ready to get on with my day.”

“I am 78 years old and in the best condition of my life. I have been seeing Susan Fink for private training twice a week since November, 2016 when I moved to Los Angeles, My training goals were to improve my strength, balance and endurance — all of which had declined as a result of a stressful year. Since starting the training, my strength has improved about 300%, my balance has improved to the point where I can finally do a Warrior 3 and I am now at the point of doing exercises I never thought I could do like pushups on the TRX, stepping quickly on and off a step for 1 minute, lifting heavy weights, etc. Unlike some trainers I have had in the past, she watches closely to monitor my form so I don't injure myself and to make sure I don't get too much out of breath. She personalizes each workout, increasing or decreasing the intensity depending on my ability on that day. I plan to continue training with Susan.”

“Susan is a dedicated instructor whose interest in 'Functional Aging' got my attention. She is totally in tune with the critical needs of balance and flexibility and how to attain and maintain them. She gives her all in class and, in turn, expects students to do their best. I myself am not a natural-born exerciser by any means. My clumsiness startles me! But her patience and willingness to keep working on improvements, however small, keeps me coming back.”

“I LOVE this class! I feel so lucky to get such an individualized workout with such a great personal trainer. She targets all the right areas and makes sure that every exercise is done safely and correctly. As opposed to a big class at the gym where no one is really focusing on how I am doing a particular exercise, this class is all about doing each exercise, from push ups to bicep curls, correctly. Susan also mixes it up each week so we never get bored of the same exercises. She also makes the workout do-able and at the end I know i've had a great workout and was able to complete the whole thing. I am so grateful to have discovered this class and look forward to it every week!”

“Susan invests quite a bit of thought in planning out exercise sequences that somehow never seem repetitive from one session to the next — a combination of aerobic, balance, resistance, and stretching activities with an emphasis on core-muscle engagement. The various individual physical issues that each of us brings to our sessions are also addressed, which makes the classes feel almost "custom designed" by our own personal trainer. I especially enjoy this individualized attention and truly appreciate Susan's conscientiousness in reinforcing the concepts of body mechanics that are so invaluable for us to incorporate in our daily posture and movement. Through her upbeat and motivational teaching style, we learn subtle incremental techniques that we hope will bring about a lifelong positive transformation!”
