suzie + max vinograd

Suzie Blackman and Max Vinograd are a husband-and-wife duo who have dreamt of bringing Synergy to their community since moving to Winston-Salem in 2014.

Suzie is not only the founder but a lead instructor at Synergy, bringing over a decade of experience in fitness, movement, and wellness. Her passion lies in the intersection of community and personal growth—believing that movement is most powerful when it’s shared. With a background that spans strength training, yoga, and functional fitness, Suzie is known for her high-energy classes, thoughtful programming, and deep commitment to helping others feel strong, seen, and connected. Her ultimate goal is to create a space where wellness meets belonging.

Max is the co-founder of Synergy and a passionate advocate for whole-person wellness. As a primary care PA, he brings a deep understanding of health to everything he does: both in the clinic and behind the scenes at Synergy. Whether he’s fine-tuning studio operations or jumping into class for a quick sweat, Max is all about supporting a vibrant, healthy community. Alongside his wife Suzie, he’s helping shape Synergy into a space where movement, connection, and care come together.

Synergy Winston-Salem seeks to inspire a healthy, connected community that unites around their shared love for movement, mindfulness, and spirituality.
