Entrepreneur •
Susan Ottey, better known as Suzy Savage for her love of powerlifting, is the owner of Better Bodies 757, a gym in Hampton, VA focused on empowering women to become the strongest version of themselves. Through her own athletic development, Susan realized the importance of training for an unrelenting mindset when working towards goals in all areas of life. This sparked her passion for training women to not only become physically stronger, but to train for mental toughness as well. Clients come to Better Bodies for fitness but leave with a renewed confidence in their ability to conquer their life goals. In helping those women, she found she had a natural inclination for entrepreneurship.
As her business evolved, so did her passion for helping other women achieve the same massive results that she did. While continuing to train successful powerlifters and strength athletes, Susan now hosts Her Health and Wealth Mastermind where she teaches other women the Suzy Savage Method of leveling up in business and health. In addition, she created the Strong by Choice Podcast to support entrepreneurs who are looking to achieve life balance while building an empire. Although young, Susan is building a strong presence in her community as she makes a name for herself as a successful business owner and mentor looking to invest in others.

PASSIONS
MINDSET TRAINING
Mental toughness is what allows a person to control the trajectory of their life. I believe that an individual’s potential is limitless once they lose their excuses and commit to their goals. This concept is especially important to instill in our youth. I enjoy working with youth empowerment organizations spreading this message.
STRENGTH and CONDITIONING
Whether an athlete looking to take their game to the next level or a new mom ready to take her body back, I love teaching clients how to evolve into the best version on themselves. The benefits of strength training go far beyond the physical. The most successful people in the world have achieved their results from their ability to harness mental toughness and I love using physical fitness to teach and instill this trait in others while learning to care for your body in that process.
COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION
The lack of health education in combination with the ease of access to junk food has caused a rise in preventable health issues especially amongst minority communities. Rather than push medications and surgeries, fitness and nutrition education will attack the problems at their root. My goal is to educate and empower families to break the cycle of passing preventable diseases generation after generation.

This program, based in Newport News Middle schools, aims to encourage and empower young girls with leadership skills. Each year powerful women CEO’s from the area come in for a day of mentorship and pouring positivity into the next generation.
I love the purpose behind this event. As a first generation college graduate and entrepreneur I understand the importance of having mentors in your life. Being able to see people like yourself in places that you never imagined you could reach, creates an internal motivation within.
