Convinced that the key to achieving fitness goals lies in discovering a sustainable regimen that fosters a strong mind-muscle connection, Sarah focuses on creating fun, engaging workouts that prioritize enjoying the process. Committed to challenging her clients, she inspires them to sweat, feel stronger, and boost their confidence, guiding them toward greater health, happiness, and peace of mind.

I have been on a weight loss journey for over 10 years now. One day, I made the decision to change my life to become a better version of myself. I didn’t want to be part of the 300+ pounds club anymore. I started training around the age of 20, starting with bodybuilding and eventually making my way onto CrossFit in the year of 2015. 

During my journey, I have learned many different workout techniques and nutritional plans to achieve body styles and weight goals for myself and others. I made the choice to become a coach in 2018, not just to better educate myself, but to share my knowledge with the world. My goal is to help people achieve the goals they have always dreamed of, and also assist them in becoming a better version of themselves.

Besides training and coaching, I’m a computer tech and possibly one of the biggest nerds you will ever meet. I enjoy anything involving technology, cars, sports, and constantly working on personal defense goals. I am what you call a daredevil and risk taker, always looking

to have a good time and get the most out of what life has to offer. Catch me jumping out of a plane just for the thrill and a once in a lifetime view.
