About Us
I have been a personal trainer in Seattle since 2003. I got into training because of my personal relationship with exercise. Namely, I grew up HATING it. As an adult, I’ve become the athlete that I couldn’t be as an overweight teenager and now I cannot imagine my life without my workouts. It is what makes me tick…not because I love it every day or because it feels good (we all know sometimes it doesn’t!) But, it is what keeps me balanced physically, mentally and emotionally. I began working out in my twenties. This has completely changed my life and the way I see myself. This is why I had to become a personal trainer. I want to empower my clients to have a better quality of life and feel good about what they see in the mirror (darn mirrors!) I am not Barbie, nor do I want to be. I want to be real to myself and my clients. So, I practice what I preach and I preach moderation. I appreciate balance in all things.
You can find me training clients of all backgrounds, all shapes and sizes with all sorts of goals. Here are some of my current clients’ goals:
“Prepare for childbirth”
“Get ripped arms for my wedding dress”
“Summit Mt. Rainier”
“Run the Seattle Marathon”
“Finish the Kirkland Triathlon”
“Rehab my knee after knee replacement surgery”
“Keep up with my grandchildren”
“Fit exercise into my crazy work schedule”
“Stay committed to an exercise program”
I believe in being a support system for my clients. They are dear to me and I treat them like family. Getting to know each client and working with their strengths and limitations is what sets me apart from other trainers. My certification through the American College of Sports Medicine is among the best in the industry. I train every client according to his/her own needs and goals. I also work closely with a large network of health care providers (nutritionists, physical therapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, doctors, naturopaths and therapists) who assist me in keeping my clients happy and healthy. It takes a village, right?!
Sara has a fantastic ability to tailor a workout program that works with my constantly fluctuating work & travel schedule, while allowing me to maximize my core strength training without detracting from my cardio fitness goals. Through her workout routines, I’ve been able to gain core strength and still complete an intense triathlon training schedule.
