Fitness consultant and best-selling author Suzanne Brue discusses how a sustainable program of exercise ultimately depends on its compatibility with your true nature and how well it matches your personality. She also talks about the importance of her TM practice in daily life and especially in her Jewish faith.

Ms. Brue is a researcher, writer, and consultant on the connection between personality and physical exercise. Her career began as a faculty member at Trinity College and at the University of Vermont. Inspired by her students, she developed an interest in the study of personality and individual differences and became a student and Master Practitioner® of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®).

With her avid interest in fitness, Ms. Brue noticed that people are far more likely to succeed with exercise when the activity and environment matched their innate personality tendencies. This inspired her to launch a six-year research project, interviewing hundreds of fit and physically active individuals from the full range of MBTI personality types. From this research, she developed a revolutionary fitness personality system: The 8 Colors of Fitness. In 2008 she wrote The 8 Colors of Fitness: Discover Your Color-Coded Fitness Personality and Create an Exercise Program You’ll Never Quit, followed by the 2015 publication of The 8 Colors of Fitness: Your Workbook, and in 2018, The 8 Colors of Fitness: Your Guidebook.

Wellness professionals around the globe use Ms. Brue’s program to coach their clients and patients to become more fit. A frequent speaker at psychological and fitness conferences, Ms. Brue recently partnered with several YMCAs to develop a statewide physical activity program for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida.

Ms. Brue and her husband divide their time between Delray Beach, Florida, and Healdsburg, California. Part of her personal routine for fitness and wellness is her daily practice of the TM technique.
