Fitness Meets Wellness

Hi, I’m Sue Mackenzie, owner of Fitness Meets Wellness.

I’ve been certified as a fitness trainer and consultant for more than 20 years.

My clients have included elite exercisers, people just beginning with fitness, seniors, those recovering from injury or illness, and many others.

I’ve designed and led hundreds of fitness classes, personal training sessions, and fitness programs. I’ve trained people in a local studio, in their homes, on Zoom, and outdoors.

I’m nationally certified by AFAA in personal training, group fitness, and in senior fitness.

I’ve also has done extensive continuing education and holds certificates in stress reduction, yoga, nutrition and wellness coaching.

I also have significant experience with the fitness needs of seniors. I’ve worked with seniors individually and in senior communities.

My approach to fitness is to uncover what is unique about each person and design a fitness strategy that meets their needs and sets them on a path to lifelong health.

My goal is to help clients feel better, be stronger, and, hopefully, to smile.

Everyone has questions when they’re thinking about a new fitness approach. I’m happy to answer those questions by phone, text, or email.

If you want to know about my programs for this fall, have a look here.

Questions? Feel free to contact me.

I work with clients in different ways, depending on their needs and goals.

Personal Training

One-on-one personal training is a great way to accelerate progress toward your fitness goals. Together, we’ll design a personal training program that works for your level of fitness, goals, and your schedule. Here’s a link to the top questions I get about personal training.

Simply Stretch

Stretching our muscles and tendons shouldn’t be an afterthought, but an important part of lives. I’ve watched people recover from injuries, find relief from stress, and improve their range of motion by simply stretching on a regular basis. And for others, they just want a full body stretch that makes them feel great. Learn more about adding a stretch routine to your life.

Group Fitness Classes

All of my small group fitness programs are designed to be fun, empowering, and challenging. Every program gives you the opportunity to learn safe, but effective exercise techniques. Click here to see the types of classes I offer.

Sometimes our lives get out of balance. My Wellness for Life Coaching program is designed to help you figure out what areas of your life could use some extra attention. Then, we do something about it–together. Learn more here.
