"A fantastic facility and trainers that are top of the line. Not your run of the mill place- TrainSmarter is special and unique. You must try!"
Samuel W. Jackson, JR.
"I have been plagued with lower back and hip pain for years. Multiple sessions with physical therapists did nothing for my issues. Susan quickly and correctly assessed my pain was the result of years of bad posture and set me on a training program to strengthen muscles long overlooked. The result is that I am taller, straighter and without pain. I can't say enough about the quality of assessment and training at TrainSmarter."
Jennifer Slaton
"Susan makes each workout new and interesting, and I trust her depth of knowledge. I'm grateful I found her, because I feel like she's the ideal trainer to challenge me in the key ways that keep me youthful and strong each year."
Pam Giles
"I am beyond excited to have Susan as my coach in the very near future! We attended high school together and just last weekend, we had a chance to visit at our reunion"
Drusilla Gassenheimer
"Susan and Jake are excellent trainers. They listen when I have an issue with a particular problem. My shoulder pain is completely gone because of certain added exercises and stretches. I am stronger and my endurance is better than ever. Thank you so much."
Jim Brown
"I'm a big fan of Susan Finley, and the other TrainSmarter staff. Susan has been my Personal Trainer for over 3 years. In addition to imporved strength, and flexibility, my golf game is better!!"
Kathleen Fix
"I have been working with Jake for approximately six months. I can't believe how much progress I have made! I no longer worry about going upstairs and my balance is so much better. My strength througout is much better and therefore I feel that I have better energy. Jake is very knowledgeable and patient and a delight to work with. I've never had a trainer before and it has made a world of difference to my well being"
Lisa Engel
"Susan both varies and customizes my workout to address my specific physical issues and also to make sure that I'm getting the overall fitness workout for optimal aging and development. Equally important is the mental boos I get form the workouts! I leave feeling taller, stronger, more confident and even more optimistic. Working out with Susan is definitely an hour well spent.."
David Sher
"Susan, I had to go up into the attic of my house this evening to adjust a valve for out heating system. I had to crawl under a low pipe and walk over a beam to get there. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you. Thanks!"
Phil Riney
"Through the years I have had many personal trainers. Susan is the most professional, motivated, informed and humorous one I have ever dealt with. I love her style of fitting the "patient" with the right format to goal achievement."
Kathy Delucas
"The trainers at TrainSmarter are very knowledgeable in how the body works and how to maximize strength for function. I love my workouts and can never believe when an hour has passed. That may be because Susan works with me so her goals for me are also my goals for myself. I have a neurologic deficit, especially on my right side, and use canes for walking. Susan has helped me with strength, reorganization of how I use my body and stability so that I have real hope of getting rid of the canes. I'm probably her most challenging client. Susan's knowledge is incomparable and she is constantly researching and learning! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place."
Abby Diluzio
"It's a great place to work out in a friendly environment! I always feel welcomed and the trainers are great at catering to every level of fitness."
