“I’m 51 and my fitness journey through life has been a series of starts and stops. I finally wanted to start and stay on the work out /nutrition train because I see too many people my age suffering physically since they don’t prioritize themselves. Since I know myself, I had to have a support system. This is where I was lucky enough to be partnered up with Sarah. She is so gentle, easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and gives the push I need without being pushy. She always reaches out to see if I need anything or just to check in. I highly recommend Sarah! She’s the absolute best!”

“I can’t imagine my life without Sarah as my trainer. She took this out of shape 66-year-old lady with osteopenia (weakened bones) and a strained shoulder and helped me become strong, capable, and confident again in just a few weeks. My latest bone density test shows no more osteopenia and my shoulder no longer hurts thanks to Sarah’s strength training program. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind as a trainer…and the bonus is she is cheerful and fun, too! I always look forward to my training sessions with her.”

“Finding Sarah’s nutrition coaching was a game-changer. I have been working out for years; alone, with a trainer, group classes, etc. I love working out, but needing the knowledge, support, and empowerment from a nutrition coach. Knowing Sarah for a couple years and having her historically as a personal trainer, made me confident to reach out and get the nutrition coaching services that I never knew I needed! Sarah is non-judgemental, supportive, encouraging, funny, and easy to talk to. Food can be an emotional hurdle for many people (I’m looking at you ladies!) have a hard time acknowledging the mental gymnastics we have gone through to not consider nutrition as a way to fuel our bodies and LOVE our bodies. Sarah has helped me to think of food in a healthy, loving, and empowering way. There are no restrictions, she doesn’t shame or blame you, and she gives tools and recipes if you feel stuck. The app has amazing recipes that my husband and I use all the time now. “

“Sarah provides a personal touch that makes all the difference in keeping my motivation high. Her workouts are interesting, fun, and varied, which is just what I need to stay on track. There are cheaper options out there but let’s be honest- those apps don’t care about you. Work out with someone who does!“
Rachel, Duluth, Minnesota
What’s it Like Working with Sarah?
“I have been working out with Sarah for over a year now, and not only am I the strongest I have ever been in my life, I am also experiencing less pain that I have ever felt. Sarah is very fun, always changing the challenges and providing variety to my workouts. She is also very responsive and able to adapt when I am not having good days or struggling. She has a positive attitude, which inspires me to keep pushing. Thank you, Sarah!!”
Michelle, Austin, Texas
“Training with Sarah is an incredible experience. Her session plans and coaching style push me every time we meet, and I can tell my workouts were created to fit my needs. You can tell she’s knowledgeable of the work she does, and cares for all her clients. Sarah does a great job of showing me proper technique, and watches to make sure I’m performing each movement correctly. Her kind nature and cool attitude somehow still manage to leave me dripping with sweat and exhausted through each workout. 10/10 experience with her; highly recommend her for a variety of training types (muscle building / weight loss / getting active again).”
Laura, Austin, Texas
“Sarah is hands down the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. From the start, she just got me – my goals, what my body needed most, and when to push me harder. Working with her has kept me motivated, both because of the results I’ve seen and because her enthusiasm for lifting heavy things is just contagious. I’ve also appreciated her ability to adapt with me as my training needs went from building strength to maintaining it while marathon training.”
