Suzie Cooney, CPT

Aloha! Welcome to Suzie Trains Maui. I’m Suzie Cooney, and as Maui’s elite fitness professional and healthy lifestyle specialist, I’ve been changing people’s lives since 2001. I provide private personal training services from professional athletes to those reentering fitness by helping them discover ways in which to increase their performance and discover personal breakthroughs in their sports and life. You too can make the positive, life changing discoveries through my special, ultimate performance break through training programs.

“Suzie Cooney combines imagination, inspiration and perspiration. She’s a one-of-a-kind waterwoman; a brilliant and patient teacher. Oh, and she is also a complete badass, which is the highest compliment I can possibly give.” —Susan Casey, bestselling author and editor in chief of O, The Oprah Magazine.

You CAN have a healthy lifestyle and be fit. Reach your fitness goals, improve your sports performance and learn really what your body can do. I sincerely believe that your body can change if you challenge it safely in new ways, so neither you nor your body becomes bored. Avoid the dreaded weight loss plateau and come shape your body with me. Simply shedding 5-10 pounds will change your life. This I promise!

Exercise and fitness and living a healthy lifestyle has always been very important to me.  Through the sports of SUP or stand up paddling, surfing and windsurfing I can help you break through to the next level.  Or if you’re simply reentering fitness, coming off of an injury, just had a baby, I can help you too! Everyone is so different with unique and individual needs. To me, everyone is an athlete. In my studio or on the water, I’m here to help and give you all my life, and training jewels.

I often offer  stand up paddling clinics to our community and to guests visiting Maui. Also, if you want to improve your strength and stamina for your favorite sport, I can help you fine tune your skills through sports specific training. I can also teach you how to stand up paddle. I am also available for private lessons/tours.

My wide-ranging experience in the sports orthopaedics and physical therapy field, has allowed me to expand my current working knowledge of the human anatomy and increase my awareness of a client’s limitations and/or injuries.  I will work with the guidance of your physician on an as needed basis.  I am a Certified Personal Trainer through the internationally known National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) founded in 1987 by a group of recognized physicians, physical therapists, and fitness professionals.  This organization is committed to research and development as well as innovative, cutting edge concepts and applications in the areas of personal fitness training, performance enhancement, corrective exercise, sports rehabilitation and kinetic-chain therapy. I am continually increasing my scope of knowledge and education through specialized, accredited affiliations that permit me to deliver the best in quality, client care.

No matter what age, what your goals are or what you dream to be or do, I can help you get there and create the healthy life you seek.  Call me 808-283-2121 or email me today http://www.suzietrainsmaui.com/contact/ for a complimentary, introductory fitness visit.

I look forward to meeting you!
