Testimonials

“Susi Kerr helped me to change my life! Two years ago, after having two kids I was up to a size 14 and having trouble losing weight. With Susi’s inspiration and motivation, I am down in the best shape I have ever been in and getting stronger every day. I can’t say enough good things about her. Thanks Susi.”

“To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to have the opportunity to recommend Susi Kerr. As one of Susi’s colleagues, her level of professionalism and commitment to our industry has always impressed me. She gets involved with various community events to spread the message regarding the benefits of regular exercise and good nutrition. She has even just recently published her first book Fit to Deliver. Susi’s greatest asset is her personality. She has charisma and what I
would call a ‘magnetic personality’. She is a true leader and she inspires
those around her to achieve their personal best by the standards that she
sets.”

“I was fortunate enough to hear of Susi Kerr and her ‘Bare Fit and Pregnant’ program just as I was entering my 4th month of pregnancy. As
this was my first pregnancy, I was feeling very apprehensive about the
changes that my body was going through and what would be in store for
me when labour and delivery finally came.

Now, nearly 14 months later, my pregnancy and delivery are a
pleasant memory and I am stronger and more fit than I have ever been
before. I owe this very positive result in great part to Susi and her
fabulous skills as a trainer.

Susi led each of us through series of exercises specifically designed not
only to increase our strength during pregnancy but also to prepare our
bodies for the trial of labour.

Susi always takes the time to individualize exercise programs for her
clients who have specific concerns during or after their pregnancies. As a
mother herself, she understands both the physical and emotional
challenges that her clients face in the months leading up to and after the
birth.

Susi’s excellent skills as a personal trainer, coupled with her
enthusiasm and concern for pre and post natal fitness helped me to not
only improve my core strength during pregnancy but also to lose the
weight quickly afterwards. I enjoyed the process so much that I am very
much looking forward to doing it all over again soon!”

“I am very grateful to Susi Kerr and her Bare Fit and Pregnant
program for helping me to have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Not only
did I enjoy exercising with the other expecting mothers, but I also
enjoyed the opportunity to share common concerns and experiences.
Under the safe and supervised program I was prepared both phyusically
and emotionally for childbirth. One year later, I still enjoy the benefits of
Susi’s instruction in her post Partum class where both my son Sean and I
enjoy the benefits of exercising regularly while mingling with the other
moms and babies.

Thank you Susi for looking after both Sean’s and my health and happiness.”

– Wendy Kyer
