About Us

• Located in Gig Harbor, better is a small physical training facility built on the idea that training should be about practice and quality of movement. Opening our doors in November 2014, this unique gym is centered around quality training. The classes are small to foster a family environment using the modalities and principles our trainer, Susan Moore, has mastered during her years training the U.S. military. Susan provides professional education by teaching certifications and workshops for TRX, StrongFirst, and HyperWear. She believes that all people deserve the training necessary to move well, increase strength, sharpen focus, and gain mental toughness that are essential for optimal quality of life. She will not only teach you these skills, but also educate you in the whys and hows along the way. There is only one word to describe how you will feel as a result of this training: better. Come try what "better" has to offer. History Established in 2015. Opening a gym is the final step in a worldwide fitness career. We moved to Gig Harbor due to a military move and have decided to make it our home. Our bodies are all very different and must be trained that way. We all have optimal ranges that need to be explored. Do not settle for undertrained instructors. Check credentials. Ask questions. Be the change! Susan M. Business Owner I have been in the fitness business for several years now. I received my fitness related education from StrongFirst, AFAA, Starting Strength, Yogafit, Crossfit, AFPA, TRX and more. I was the creator and operator of "The Mobile Murph", a unique, self-contained, mobile performance based training unit on Fort Benning. I teach workshops and certification courses for TRX, StrongFirst, HyperWear, and Kamagon. I am originally from Atlanta, married to a soldier (my best friend), and have two daughters. My passion is teaching physical fitness to all branches of the military and pretty much anyone who will listen. My goal is to decrease the injury rate and increase the strength and performance of our military and their families. I believe in using nutrition as prophylactic medicine and use my family as my personal guinea pigs. I. Love. My. Job.
