Suzelle Snowden, President
I started in 1986 as an aerobic instructor, instructor trainer and industry consultant while running a privately owned aerobic studio. I bought that establishment in 1992 and launched FIT BODIES INC. AEROBIC STUDIO AND INSTRUCTOR TRAINING CENTER. At the same time, I produced an exercise TV show called FIT BODIES in which I teach multiple formats of classes that is still on the air today. I worked on corporate programs such as Cinergy, Cincinnati's Gas and Electric Company, setting up programs, teaching classes and training instructors. During that time I worked with the University of Cincinnati Bearcats basketball team and also conducted seminars on exercise and nutrition. I am a certified group instructor with ACE and AFAA, and IFTA and ISCA kickboxing and personal trainer, a certified ACE and AIFE personal trainer, a Johnny G spinning instructor, certified in pilates, a Promise Trainer, A Beamfit master trainer and am trained to teach everything including yoga and aqua.
In early 1990's, while on vacation in Jamaica, I started helping out the fitness program at Hedonism II and became their consultant. In 1995 I helped start the fitness program at Breezes Bahamas. This grew into the FIT BODIES INC. TRAVEL INCENTIVES PROGRAM of today where I currently supply the fitness professionals on a regular basis to OVER 15 resorts. As well as sending instructors to the resorts, I still work regularly with the staff training at many of the properties, including Cuba where I trained the staff of five SuperClubs hotels. I have also done training and consulting in Austria, Rio de Janeiro, Grand Bahamas, and Brazil at the Breezes Costa do Sauipe resort in Bahia. I run marathons and ultras, love my road bike and scuba diving, and enjoy spending time with my family, husband Larry, 2 sons Chad and Jimmy, and my golden retrievers, Maynard, Bonham and Bixler. I am the Program Director for the Jeff Galloway Marathon Training Program, where I continue to motivate people to attain a goal and make positive changes in their lives.
With the advent of the professionalism of the Fit Bodies Inc. instructors and trainers, many of the resorts are now renovating or adding on to the gyms to offer the guests more quality product to go hand in hand with the quality of service. Several properties are adding indoor cycling, stability and bosu balls as well as the usual fitness products since we can provide the traveling certified pros to meet the changing needs of the discriminating guest.
I am really excited to be holding FIT BODIES FITBEACH. This is my brainchild, born from frustration of the normal convention. I love going but never have time to see the city and enjoy the companionship of my peers. Along with certifications, workshops and workouts, we will have lots of free time for fun in the sun, activities provided by the resort and organized social functions for the group as a whole. You get can get certified, cover your requirements for cec's and have a Jamaican vacation all at one time.
I started the resort business out of love for the islands, for fitness, and the observation that the hotel fitness programs needed a professional lift to keep the guests safe and satisfied. With Fit Bodies Inc program EVERYONE IS HAPPY including hotel staff, resort instructors, hotel guests, and the traveling instructor and their guests. There is a mutual trust and loyalty between myself and the executives and staff of the hotels I work with based on the knowledge that I continue to deliver the product that enhances their programs. I am the official exclusive provider for fitness professionals and I deem this an honor and a testament that Fit Bodies Inc. is successfully satisfying the needs and wants of the top resort chains in the world.
