Sue is a great trainer. She is gentle yet firm at the same time. She tailors her workouts to her client’s day-to-day needs so you never have an excuse to not work out;-) I have been working out with her for the last four years and I now can do exercises that I once thought were impossible for me to do.
In January of this year, I had to have arthroscopic surgery on my left knee. Needless to say, I hated being so stationary and helpless. I was doing physical therapy, but it was a slo-go process. It wasn’t until I signed up for Sue’s Cycle class, that I finally started to get muscle tone back into my leg and energy back into my life! I loved it so much that the next quarter, I signed up to cycle twice a week!! It’s energizing, invigorating and totally fun! Sue has a kind yet contagious tone that make you want to work hard! She is not pushy and only expects one to do what they can. I appreciate her tenacity and conversation and wide range of music choice! If you are staying on the Central California Coast for awhile and want to get a wonderful workout form a fantastic instructor, check out all the amazing classes Sue teaches! SHE is amazing!!! Fitness really can be fun!!!
When I found Sue Conrad’s Prenatal Yoga class I knew it would be a great class to help improve my strength. The first day of the class we were greeted by Sue’s smiling face and a warm hello. As a first time mother, it was nice to be around other women who were going through similar things I was experiencing. It was so wonderful to be able to spend an hour really connecting with my body and the baby growing inside me. Sue moved through each pose slowly allowing us to feel relaxed before we moved to the next pose.
I would recommend this class to any pregnant mother who wishes to gain strength and become more connected with their child.
Sue Conrad is a great instructor! Two months ago, I was in the worst shape of my life and after Sue’s pilates and strength training several time a week, along with cardio, I have lost 29 pounds! Sue had plenty of modified moves for me, when I wasn’t able to keep up with the class. Her patience and encouragement kept me coming back. I highly recommend any class she teaches!
My family and extended family just completed a wonderful 2 consecutive day Yoga morning at Avila Beach, CA. There were 10 of us one morning and 4 the next. Sue’s gracious and calm led Yoga session was adaptable to all ages (kids ages 5 – 12, and adults up to age 60+!) If you haven’t already experienced Sue as an instructor, don’t procrastinate, check out any of her classes as I’m sure they are all excellent! (I am a user of Yoga and Spin classes and they both are excellent!)
I highly recommend this class for anyone in their 2nd or 3rd Trimester. Sue Conrad does a great job modifying poses to meet everyone’s needs wherever they may be in their practice and pregnancy. Ladies take this hour for yourselves to connect with your breath and your baby and help prepare your body for the miraculous arrival of your little one.
I signed up for Sue’s Prenatal Yoga Class when I was around 18 weeks along, and ended up doing two, six week sessions with her! Before I was pregnant, I had done a few other yoga classes over a couple of years, and always had struggled trying to find the right breathing pattern. In general, I always struggled with yoga. Once I began Sue’s Prenatal Yoga Class, I actually learned the correct way to find my breath doing different poses, and just slowed down and went at my own pace.
Sue taught us different breathing techniques, and a couple different positions/stretches to do throughout pregnancy that I was able to do in the delivery room between contractions. Giving birth was definitely the hardest thing I have ever done, but I am glad I was taught how to do different comfortable poses to help, and get me through delivery.
Hans and I have taken yoga from Sue for two years. Also I have been Sue’s pilates class. I have had many fine instructors over a period of 35 years. Hans has only been the USA for three years and this is his third year in yoga. Both of us feel that Sue is “Tops” in Instruction. At the same time she is always kind, considerate. thoughtful and helpful as she works with each individual in her classes.
My journey with Sue began in October last year. I have participated in the M/W/F Tabata Bootcamp class that she offers at my local gym. It is now the end of February and I am now down 20lbs, and am much stronger. I truly admire Sue’s committment to all her clients, and her contagious enthusiasm. We are all different sizes, shapes, and abilities, yet Sue has us all working to each of our fullest potentials. Class never gets old because she keeps the circuits fresh each time. With her encouragement I have now added her Powerhouse Spin once a week and love it!
Sue’s prenatal yoga class gave me a weekly time to relax, move my body, and meet other moms-to-be. I enjoyed the class enough to sign up for a second one, and looked forward to it every week! Sue helps guide the students through new poses and tailors the class to the participants. Definitely recommend taking this class during pregnancy!
