Coaching with Ballston CrossFit since 2022
Hi! My name is Susie (aka Sooze).
My fitness journey began in 2017 when I discovered CrossFit in Seoul, South Korea. After returning to the States in 2018, I continued my fitness journey at Ballston CrossFit. In 2019, I attended an Olympic weightlifting technique class at CH Fitness and Performance, coached by U.S. Olympian Cara Heads, and immediately fell in love with the sport.
I began coaching and competing in USA Weightlifting (USAW) in 2022 in the 55 kg weight class. After moving abroad in 2023, I continued coaching and competing, including at the Belgian National Championships, and qualified & competed my first USAW National Championships in 2025 under BCF Head Coach Brock’s guidance and support!
I’m excited to be back at BCF and look forward to sharing my passion, knowledge, and experiences with the community. I hope my journey inspires others to discover the joy of weightlifting and see what they’re capable of!
I hold the following qualifications:
