Sue Lee, a 31-year-old dentist from New York whose fitness journey is as inspiring as it is transformative. Sue joined Reason 1.5 years ago, seeking relief from chronic pain—and what she found was so much more.
Sue grew up in Queens in an immigrant family that taught her independence and resilience. But long days at a sedentary job started taking a toll on her body and energy. Encouraged by her chiropractor and brother, she hesitantly stepped into strength training. Little did she know it would change her life.
Strength training helped Sue combat pain and boosted her energy levels, allowing her to enjoy activities like climbing and volleyball after work. But beyond the physical benefits, fitness became her go-to for mental clarity and self-care.
At Reason, Sue found a supportive community that welcomed her, creating an environment that made her feel at home—unlike her previous gym experiences. Her goals have evolved, too. Fitness is no longer about appearance for Sue; it’s about how strong she feels, the energy she has, and the joy of showing up for herself. She’s learned that stepping outside her comfort zone—whether in the gym or in life—is where real growth happens.
Sue’s journey is a reminder that fitness isn’t just about physical transformation…it’s about discovering confidence, resilience, and the power of self-care.
