SUZY
Over 20 years ago, I was led to start this business due to my ability to be able to help other women and relate to their stories, as I've gone through similar situations myself. My goals were to support them in their health journeys and to help others feel empowered, teach self-love, self-care, encourage positive thinking, personal strengths, and believing in themselves.
But over the past few years, my own personal journey was diverted, which left me with shifted hips, whiplash, a concussion, bruises on my body, confined to a chair, and weight gain amongst other struggles, such as a second degree burn the same year.
Due to my accidents and circumstances, surrounding, I gained 20 lbs, and lost my independence entirety to move around freely without the help of my amazing family, friends, staff, colleagues, and clients. Today, I feel blessed to be alive and humbled to be able to tell my story to everyone with joy and gratefulness.

Most people have a weight loss goal at the end of the year and to start going back to the gym, because it's a new year. Well, that's all lovely and peachy, but let's be real it's not always that easy. It’s something we have to set our minds up for and know that it’s a lifestyle journey. I started my journey in 1999 thinking that this would be easy going, back and forth with Suzy, but I failed once again! I left that weight loss lifestyle alone and went back to old habits.
Fast forward to June 2020. I called up Suzy once again and told her I need to lose weight. She started working with me again, then I realized I was losing my bum and I wasn’t looking like myself. In August I told Suzy I want to still be my thick self but just toned. Suzy gave me an hour lecture about what it was going to be like and Lord knows I thought I was ready until I started to put in work. What I’m trying to get at is that it doesn't matter how long it takes for you to get on this journey. You just have to know that it will not be easy, but it will all be worth it in the end.
Rosa
“After having a complete medical assessment back in 2014 and after receiving less than satisfactory results, I knew that I had to lose weight and get back into shape. I tried doing so on my own by diet and exercise, but it wasn’t easy and I found myself less and less motivated. I suffer from hypothyroidism so my metabolism works very slowly. I was getting depressed as I wasn’t seeing great results.
I decided to sign up for a Fitness class at my local community center. That is where I met Suzy. She was my salvation! She made me work hard even when I thought that I couldn’t do it. She encouraged me to keep at it.
I then decided to sign up at her Fitness Studio. It was the best decision I had ever made! After 1 year with Suzy, I have lost 24 pounds and 10.8% body fat! I am so happy with the results! I am stronger and have more energy. I feel better about my body and have more confidence in myself.
Suzy has taught me new ways to exercise and tone my body and also advised me on how to eat better and healthier. I couldn’t have done it without Suzy’s help and support. I recommend Suzy to everyone.”
Kris
“Since 2019, I put my weight loss journey on hold to focus on my mental health. I speak openly about my depression and anxiety; because it is so real! I am a pretty tough cookie; but even the toughest, gets weak! During this time I discovered bacon sour cream chips and those new doughnuts from McDonald’s. Let’s just say, I packed on some pounds!
My new journey will be different! Making gradual changes to my meal ideas, holding myself more accountable for my weekly activities/exercises and never stop working on my mental well-being!”
Carole
“I have frequented a few gyms in the past and it ended up just being a place to go, socially, for networking, etc. But at SuzyMari’s, everyone gets a tailored fitness experience right for them; because she pays attention on a personal level.
Weight loss is a bonus and highlight of the SuzyMari experience. This place is the real deal!! Other faculties care a lot about appearances, but this place is about RESULTS. SuzyMari, you ROCK!!”
Utella
“Suzy Mari is the absolute best! I looked forward to the classes every single day! You work hard but, there are also lots of laughs. Suzy really cares about your fitness goals and keeps you on track with assessments and meal plans. I still use a lot of what she taught me. She teaches you lifestyle change not fads or fast diets! Make sure you check out her classes or personal training! I guarantee you will love it as much as I do!!!”
Pat
At 49 years old, I was at my highest weight of 187lbs. Determined to change my lifestyle but unsure where to start, I reached out to Suzy for a consultation and signed up immediately. I have been a student at Suzy Mari's fitness studio since December 2015. Committed to my goal, I attended 2 classes a day and watched what I ate. In the first 3 months, I was down 27lbs. My persistence then contributed to a whopping loss of 42lbs.
On the 17th of August 2017, my entire world shattered. I lost my husband unexpectedly after 30 years of marriage. I was crushed. He was my best friend and my biggest supporter. Struggling to accept this new reality, I decided to take a break from the gym. Despite my absence, the ladies at the studio and Suzy became my rock. Suzy would always check in on me and the studio became my home away from home.
I am sharing my experiences to let others know that it wasn't easy. Life can be unpredictable and there will be hurdles along the way like I encountered. But you have to remember why you started this journey. When I returned to the studio, there were days when I would struggle to get out of bed or be working out with tears in my eyes. Sometimes a song on the playlist would be a trigger. In those tough moments, I would remember specifically one word on Suzy's studio wall that kept me going... "BELIEVE."
At the age of 57, I wanted to challenge myself to become a fitness instructor. Truthfully, I didn't know what the heck I was getting myself into. It was incredibly tough as the last time I had studied in school was over 4 decades ago. With the grace of God, I accomplished my goal to become a certified instructor.
Today, I respect all fitness instructors. They are highly educated in what they do and I look forward to being a source of motivation to help others along their fitness journey. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it. You just got to believe in yourself!
Thank you Suzy for your continuous support and believing in me.
Much love
Tenesha
