Susanna Chase (Certified Pilates Instructor, owner) 
Fully Pilates certified through the Physicalmind Institute,Susanna first became involved in health and fitness when diagnosed as a teenager with Scoliosis. Looking for non-surgical answers, she found exercise to be key in keeping her back healthy and pain free. With more than 20 years experience in health and fitness, training individuals and groups, Pilates training has been the most rewarding. She is continually amazed how Pilates, an exercise system developed almost 80 years ago, can change a person’s life.
“I first met Susanna Chase several years ago after receiving the news from my doctor that I would probably need back surgery with no guarantee of the success of the surgery. Thanks to Susanna's patience, professionalism, friendship and amazing knowledge of training people with "special needs", I am truly a new & better person. Everyday, I marvel at my progress and the strength emotionally and physically that I have developed.” Gail Feirstein-Frieman
Susanna lives in Annapolis with her husband Chris and four children + 2 dogs. Encouraging her family to live a healthy lifestyle, she can be spotted running, biking or walking with her kids through Annapolis. "“I love the diversity of training all levels of clients, including people coming out of physical therapy, professional athletes, moms and moms to be. It is truly rewarding to teach people to take back their lives.”"
