Testimonials
"Working with Suzi has been a life changing experience. I thought training was about weight loss through killer workouts and food deprivation. Suzi has inspired me to transcend those negatives that have been literally weighing me down. She provides accountability without pressure and discipline without shame. I love how she inspires by example. Today I am thinner, healthier, more focused and more energized. Suzi has shaped a new me- inside and out. I’ll say it again- It’s life changing to work with Suzi."

"Suzi is such a great motivator. I really don't enjoy exercising although I know it is so important for me. She makes our sessions so much fun and just when I think I'm at my limit - she pushes me to do those ten extra reps! She gets me to do exercises that I never thought I could do. I feel such an accomplishment after our workouts. Training with her has been the best investment I could have made for my health and well being."

Bill & Meg Headley – Phoenix, Arizona
“There are many people calling themselves personal trainers out there but Suzi DeMaio-Donovan is the Michael Jordan of her field. Suzi not only motivated me to show up (not an easy task at 6 AM) but made each session exciting and challenging. I learned more good habits and how to better treat my body and my mind to navigate through my stress filled life. I am a healthier and happier person today in great part because of Suzi's caring and positive demeanor. The majority of the other trainers I have had in my life have been negative and overbearing and never motivated me to action. Bottom line- Suzi made a difference in my life and I strongly recommend her for your exercise and spiritual needs.”

“Suzi brings with her the educational background and technical expertise needed to provide individuals with the highest quality of physical care. More important, she is upbeat and perpetually positive. It is her personality that makes her a true gem. Anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing or working with Suzi will attest to her passion for and commitment to fitness. No less important, she has a gift for cultivating wonderful relationships with her clients.”

MA Fitness Manager
“I have been privileged to have Suzi as my personal trainer twice a week for the past six years. What first impressed me was her insistence on doing a comprehensive health and overall fitness assessment before we began. She encouraged my exercise program and diet even on the days we were not together. We worked both inside the gym and outside in fine weather. Because of her encouragement and persistence, I continue to be able to do things I did not think I was capable of. Her personal style is always encouraging, always helpful, and always upbeat but also exacting and demanding of effort. She made a big and important difference in my health and my life.”
Helen Macioce - Summit, New Jersey
“I have had an amazing experience working with my trainer Suzi DeMaio-Donovan. I actually looked forward to my sessions with her even though, or perhaps because, she pushed me to work harder than I ever thought I could. This is because Suzi comes to work with a smile on her face, well-defined goals for the session, and a spirit that would motivate even the most reluctant exerciser. Just when you think that there cannot possibly be a new exercise for your trouble spots, Suzi will come up with variations that will keep your routine both interesting and challenging – for your mind as well as your body!”
Shari Harrison - Livingston, New Jersey
"I have worked with Suzi for five years consistently – she has always been reliable, creative and cheerful! I have achieved the goals Suzi helped me outline for myself. I would highly recommend Suzi to anyone as a priority in their life!"
