‘Soar high! Stay strong!’ is Susan’s motto for life! She conquers any obstacle and believes we must rise above and maintain a
strong, positive mind. She is passionate about making an impact and igniting the fire in people.
Her journey began over 15 years ago when fitness enabled her to overcome many of life’s circumstances. She then decided to
make it an essential goal to aid in developing strong minds and healthy humans.
Susan began with a certification in Maddog Spinning and instructed challenging cardio classes. From there Susan had the
great honor of receiving professional and financial backing of a U.S. Army Brigadier General to become a Certified Personal
Trainer through AFAA in recognition of her inspiring changes and self-formed workout plans. She furthered her certifications
through nationally recognized NASM CPT. Over the next 12yrs Susan worked with all age groups, genders, and skill levels in
both military and non-military settings focusing on nutrition, weight loss, muscle definition, athletic sport performance, and
disease/surgery recovery.
Susan incorporates rehabilitative movements and principles into her client’s routines which she brings from her background as
a physical therapy tech. She has teamed with doctors and chiropractors, training their clients, and ensuring the best road
possible to health. Her resume also includes training Marines to prepare them for Parris Island and routine PT’s at Camp
LeJeune and surrounding bases . As an athletic coach Susan elevated athlete’s strength and skill to achieve peak
performance and earn National and Olympic team placement and top-ranked college recruitment.
In 2021 Susan founded her online training, Broken Wings Fitness, to expand globally.
Susan is founder and CEO of Qbirds Nutrition, in which she creates and produces nutritionally balanced meal replacement and
protein bars.
After entering the sport of bodybuilding over 7 years ago, Susan became an NPC Figure competitor. She trained herself and
competed in the October 3, 2020, First Call Out located in Coral Springs, FL. She won in all 4 categories in which she entered.
Her next goal is to become an IFBB Pro Figure Bodybuilder. Susan will no-doubt achieve this goal as over the next year she
will train to bring an even better package to the stage in her national debut.
In 2020 & 2021 Susan was hand selected to compete for the cover of Ms. Muscle & Fitness Hers Magazine. She was honored
to have placed 7th & 5th from top competitors throughout the United States.
Currently Susan is studying for her Master Trainer certification through NASM as well as her master’s degree in health science
and Sports Nutrition.
When she is not training, Susan, aka QBird, spends valuable time with her four amazing boys, training them and developing
lifelong character and skills.
