Ilena Susup

“If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”
–Martin Luther King Jr.

Seeking abs? Ilena will help you build them. Plus build your confidence, healthy habits and enjoyment of training along the way.

ABOUT ILENA

Ilena Susup is the queen of abs at Marrickville. She doesn’t believe in building abs “in the kitchen” or “by doing crunches”. She believes they are the biggest myths. Come build abs the Ilena way!

Ilena began her fitness journey at age 4 through elite figure skating in Turkey. After nine years on the ice, she decided to move away from competing and started her coaching career, teaching youths in figure skating. This is when she discovered her passion for helping people. She began her career in the fitness industry after moving to Australia in 2016. She committed herself to years of education, and to helping individuals find what they are truly capable of. She makes sure her clients have lots of fun while training, helps them create sustainable lifestyles, and supports them to feel confident.

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that fitness should be fun, no matter how strenuous. You’re more likely to sustain a fitness regime if it’s enjoyable. That’s not to say you’re going to spend each workout in constant laughter (although you might when you train with me), but that is to say that no matter how hard a workout may seem, the pleasure of success always surpasses the pain of failure.
