Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just starting out, Sue builds a foundation of trust and meets you exactly where you are.

Diego Tejada
The Goal-Getter
Diego’s passion for fitness is driven by one simple thing—watching people achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. With a background in strength training, weight loss and functional fitness, he takes a practical, supportive approach to coaching, helping clients build sustainable routines that improve performance, mobility and confidence both in and out of the gym.
He’s especially focused on breaking through mental barriers and redefining what progress looks like, challenging the outdated “no pain, no gain” mindset in favor of smart, effective training. When he’s not coaching, you’ll find Diego running or practicing Taekwondo, continuing to push his own limits while living the lifestyle he promotes.
Qualifications: Diego is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) with specialties in strength training, weight loss, athletic performance, injury prevention, mobility, functional fitness, group training and lifestyle coaching.

Glenn “Bo” Deskins
TEAM LEAD
Bo’s fitness journey started with a personal weight loss transformation in college, and today he uses that experience to help others find their own "freedom through change." With over 10 years in the industry and a background in the Maryland Army National Guard, Bo is known for his creative, "no-excuses" coaching style (like the time he created a treadmill-only gaming program for a client!). He’s a big believer that aging doesn't have to mean losing mobility. Fun fact: Bo became a certified SCUBA diver at just 10 years old! When he’s not coaching, you’ll find him practicing martial arts, swimming or rocking out to Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Qualifications: Bo is a Certified Personal Trainer through the World Instructor Training School (W.I.T.S.) and a certified nutrition coach through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) as well as a specialized Behavior Change Specialist.

Chris Davis
The Resilience Builder
Chris brings a unique perspective to DRIVE, fueled by 30 years of service as a police officer and academy instructor. He’s spent decades training recruits to be their strongest, and now he’s bringing that same focus on discipline and mental toughness to his clients. Chris is a firm believer that "you can be strong at any age" and that fitness is the ultimate "miracle drug" for mental health. Expect a coach who will push you to do the hard things because he knows the reward is a life well-lived. This Eagle Scout starts every day with a hard workout—usually powered by a juicy steak and "Scenario" by A Tribe Called Quest!
Qualifications: Chris is a certified Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
