Meet Susan Bennett—Strong, Resilient, and Redefining What’s Possible
Susan Bennett’s story is all about perseverance—and proving that hard work (and a sense of humor) go a long way on the journey to feeling truly strong. As a busy professional, grandma, and athlete, Susan battled spinal stenosis, back pain, and knee surgeries for years. Even eight Advil a day and PT couldn’t give her the wins she wanted—until she took the leap with SolCore Fitness.
Referred by other group class members, Susan found more than just a new program—she found a new outlook. Her progress? The stuff of inspiration: mini pull-ups, monkey bars play, better skiing, and spontaneous compliments about her “floating” posture. Exercise is now a non-negotiable part of her days, stress is down, and confidence is up.
