Susan Case, Co-Owner
Susan began her journey with Five Mountain Fitness 14 years ago after moving to Waimea to be closer to family. After an ankle injury sidelined her, she started to look for ways to improve her strength and stability. It is then that she began working with her now-husband Bill who introduced her to Powerlifting. “It is through the work with Bill that I found a new sense of self. For the first time in my life I started to feel strong and began to look for ways in which I could share my passion for fitness.” A three-time WABDL world record holder in powerlifting, Susan says, “My greatest joy comes from empowering people, especially women and teens, and seeing them do things they never thought they could do.”
