By the time of her birth, her father was already working in the military in the United States, but due to his military work Curry and her family constantly traveling and living in places such as Germany, New York, Korea, and North Carolina.
When she and her family settled in Carolina, Susie developed a passion for gymnastics in high school. She excelled in this discipline so much that a gymnastics coach of the North Carolina State University at Raleigh took notice and offered her a scholarship to attend the University. She was unable to fulfill her potential at the collegiate level due to injuries, but was able to graduate with a degree in biological sciences.
Curry first began weight training in college, she was introduced to it by her coach in order to improve her performance.

She is one of the most successful competitors in the history of women’s fitness, with four titles at both the Fitness International and the Fitness Olympia, the two most prestigious shows in the world of competitive fitness. In 2004 she switched to figure competition citing the overall demand on gymnastics and the stress this had on her joints, her last fitness competition was the GNC Show of Strength.
