Please tell us more about you.


As an elite personal trainer with over a decade of experience in the fitness field, her mission is to transform lives by sharing her knowledge and developing unique methods.


Everyone is different in terms of capabilities, strength, and emotional situations, which is why it was imperative to create a method that, in addition to making it different every day, could be adapted to any person at any age.


The experience you will have inside the gym is a work of art: The fusion of different disciplines, including Pilates, HIIT, yoga, mobility, and personalized attention, makes it achievable and pleasant in a welcoming environment. However, what truly sets her apart is the support and friendship among the participants. You're not just joining a gym; you're becoming part of a community.


Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today.


Working in the geriatric field has been crucial in developing Susana's business. Rehabilitating senior clientele, understanding their unique needs, and designing functional training to enhance their quality of life has been a journey of respect and consideration. Today, they continue to add health-based certifications to understand how to train seniors, from those with a sedentary lifestyle to clients with arthritis and spinal injuries, among other diseases that appear with aging.


Today, in collaboration with the KO8 fitness team, her training program has made significant strides in the geriatric fitness world. She has provided hope and support to many individuals who had lost faith in their ability to regain strength, control, and balance.

The company has quickly gained acclaim across Europe and the United Arab Emirates, offering unique training sessions set in breathtaking locations in Mexico and around the globe.

  2. In 2023, Susana proudly published her book “Fuerza, Control y Balance.” This comprehensive guide features more than 70 clearly explained movements and provides a structured six-week program for progressive strength development.

Susana is inspired by individuals who are determined to transform their lives. Their motivation to overcome challenges, whether it's gaining strength in their legs to play with grandchildren, building arm strength for heartfelt hugs, achieving effective mobility for confidence and independence, or striving to become their best selves, fuels their passion. Her professionalism and dedication are evident as she invests her full attention in each person, delivering the highest level of training while continually pursuing education to remain at the forefront of her field.

What inspired you to create BYSU Fitness?


His own story was her primary motivation. Having experienced a transformation based on changes in nutrition, learning to move correctly, and changing his day-to-day mentality was the necessary driving force to bring that legacy to as many women as possible. Why women? Because she felt the need to create a safe space where they felt confident, empowered, strong, and capable of facing their challenges.


What services or products does (your company) offer?

transformations in Mexico, Germany, and Peru. These success stories are a testament to the effectiveness of her personalized training.


If you could change one thing about your industry, what would it be and why?


Eliminate the belief that aging is a bad thing and that you can stop it! The fitness industry is in a visual crisis, where looking young is the goal. In reality, the goal is to celebrate every moment of your life, adding years with quality of life, which means maintaining physical and mental health and living a fulfilling life. Living is incredible, and each stage must be lived fully.


In your experience, what are some common misconceptions about (your industry)?


  • With age, you can no longer do many things: It is important to change people's mentality, instill self-belief, and teach them that each individual's superpowers are born from their mind.

  • I will never look like this: Seeing the covers or posts of “perfect” people on social networks has lowered many people's security and confidence. It is not real, and it is necessary to look for trainers who know how to take care of your body and abilities and understand how to manage the client's progress. Look for trainers with certifications, experience, and a holistic approach to fitness.


Transform your life with Susana! She is passionate about creating awareness, enhancing your quality of life, and encouraging daily movement. Connect with her on social media for insightful tips and guidance on maintaining an active lifestyle that suits your individual needs.
