Suzina Blackman
Personal Trainer
Hi, I'm Suzina from Hertfordshire. I'm a fully qualified and insured Personal Trainer with over 30 years of experience in one to one and group exercise in the NHS, sports centres and gyms, the community and clients homes.
I have taught swimming and classes from chair based to strength & balance to boxercise and circuit training. I have been a Personal Trainer since 1999 and passed my GP referral qualification in 2012.
I have have always been active in various ways such as running, gym training, swimming, rock climbing, yoga, horse riding, aerial fitness and hiking.
In 2023 I hiked to Everest Base Camp (5364m) and in 2024 I hiked over the Thorong La Pass in the Himalaya (5416m). Also in 2024 I crossed the famous Sky Ladder in Austria.
In 2025 I learnt aerial rope and hula hoop and performed in two sell out Circus shows.
I also have a passion for travel and learning more about different cultures, lifestyles and foods.
I am currently studying Level 1 British Sign Language.
