“I have a great personal trainer who will come to your home in
Cleveland Park. Suzanne Reilley helped me go from a sedentary
overweight 50ish year old to someone who works out regularly and has
lost over 80 pounds. She is adept at matching the rigor of the
workouts to your preferences (mine is not boot camp!) and abilities.
She is very supportive and motivating and a delight to work out with.”
-Kim Levine, client since 2008
“I contacted Suzanne at a time when I was in an absolutely low about my weight and body image. I felt sad, unmotivated, and needed to act upon my feeling fast. I remembered reading about Suzanne in an article in Daily Candy and quickly emailed her asking about a personal training plan.
Upon my first meeting with Suzanne, I felt nervous about starting a personal training plan, but soon my nerves were calmed with hope and happiness that I was headed in the right direction.
Suzanne's best quality is that she is a great listener and really is there for you to help you achieve your fitness goals. From our first interaction, Suzanne was really focused on the best approach that would fit my fitness needs, keep me engaged, and spark my own motivation from within. She tailors the work out session to fit your personality, have fun, and burn those calories.
I have been working with Suzanne now for several weeks and have seen much improvement. I am fitting into my pants that I could not before, feeling good in my skin, and am ENJOYING to work out! Suzanne keeps me on task and always ask how my week has been. I feel I can really discuss with her the obstacles that lie outside of our training sessions and she always has a great creative solution. Suzanne really is a wonderful trainer and I enjoy learning from her knowledge and guidance to help me reach my weight loss plan. I look forward to use the strength training techniques learned form Suzanne for a lifetime.”

“We have a great personal trainer here in Cleveland Park. Training with Suzanne Reilley is a great workout and great fun. She helped me kick-start my exercise routine for 2009. She really listened to my goals and concerns, and helped me to supplement a regular running routine with at-home workout sessions focused on balance and core strength.
I appreciated Suzanne's bright sense of humor and realistic expectations which were much more of a motivating influence than the standard boot-camp trainer.”
-Jill Golden
“I have tried several personal trainers, but Suzanne is by far the best trainer I have ever had. She listened thoughtfully and carefully to my goals, likes, and dislikes, and planned a program specifically tailored to me. I feel she took a very personal interest in me and did not treat me like just another client. She provided a lot of positive reinforcement and motivated me to exercise longer and try harder even when I didn't feel like it. She was very flexible and creative in suggesting new approaches or adapting exercises to my specific needs and abilities.
Suzanne encouraged me to find a form of exercise that I could enjoy and therefore would continue doing, rather than thinking only exercise at the gym "counted." I am someone who does not like to exercise, but I continue to feel very motivated by my experience of working with Suzanne.
I improved my cardiovascular conditioning and overall toning, balance, and strength. The biggest "take-away" I received, however, is the mental image of Suzanne encouraging me to do more and try harder. I always think of her when I am doing any form of exercise.
She has a delightful and positive personality and was a joy to work with.”

“Training with Suzanne was a fun and enjoyable experience for me. Suzanne introduced me to many exercises that were more effective than ones other trainers had taught me. Suzane was excellent at demonstrating the exercises as well as explaining them. She knew how to put together workouts that challenged all my muscles and made the most of every minute of time.
I think that working with Suzanne has led me to a more holistic lifestyle. Suzanne has had experience with many forms of exercise. Her passion for yoga and her own personal practice have given her an appreciation for the importance of the care of both the body and mind. I have been inspired to deepen my yoga practice.
I was impressed by Suzanne's communication skills. She listened carefully to me when we first met and she indicated that she wanted to provide an individualized training program. She encouraged me to offer her feedback during the sessions so she could make any changes that were needed.”
-Katie Beck
"Suzanne is the best personal trainer I've ever had. She listens to your goals and tailors the workouts to meet those needs. Her challenging exercises are creative and unique, which keeps the sessions fun and exciting. In addition, her laid back and witty personality makes her a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Suzanne to anyone."
-Kelly Jordan
“You are an excellent trainer, I felt that I made considerable progress even though I was working with you only once a week. You were organized and inventive for each of my training sessions and I appreciated your recognition of my limitations and requests. You were always up beat and positive, you've good people skills. I would be more than happy to recommend you if you should ever need a referral.”
-Margy Pastor
“I thought it was the perfect start to what I needed. Suzanne pushed me hard enough for where I was at the time, and gave me a routine that really worked for my body. I always felt comfortable, felt like we connected personally, and had fun. The biggest thing that was great about Suzanne was that she developed a plan that was doable and that I enjoyed. I have been done for months and am driven, but continue to use elements I learned from Suzanne.
I have a completely different body now than what I had previously. I am almost a different person. I am still working on myself in many aspects, but gaining the confidence to enjoy exercise and healthy living effected me greatly.
I learned that I do not have to lift a ton of weights, and that my body can build its own strength. I still do a lot of core.
Suzanne was just consistent. She used a lot of different techniques with me, and I always felt like I was in good hands.”
