Sync Fitness 6 Week Total Body Transformation

ARE YOU READY TO LOSE 10+ POUNDS BY THANKSGIVING?!

Here it is folks – what you have all been asking for . . . the second launch of my 6 Week Total Body Transformation! The Fall program will run September 25th – November 6th. Today I get to officially open up this program to a handful of applicants. Over the summer Sync Fitness ran the first version of this program with HUGE success. Let me show you some numbers:

6 Weeks . . . 15 people . . . 166 pounds lost . . . 122 inches lost . . . AMAZING!!!











I have spent a lot of time designing this program for people who are REALLY serious about REAL results. If you are serious about losing weight, fat and inches this program is for you.

Changing your body is an overwhelming project. I have gone through this myself in a few different ways. I grew up overweight. I did Weight Watchers for the first time, and not the last, in the 5th grade, no joke! Changing your body can be the most empowering experience of your life. Years ago, when I became a self trained runner, I got myself through my first half marathon crying the entire last three miles because I was so proud of reaching a goal I NEVER dreamed possible. BTW, don’t be a self trained runner. I knew nothing about running when I did this and I made it a million times harder and more painful than necessary! So, please know that I am coming from a place of experience and transformation. I have set up a program in which I can hold your hand the entire journey. That said, this will be hard work and I do expect you to rise to the occasion.

WHAT TO EXPECT during 6 Week Total Body Transformation:
• 10-20 lbs of weight loss
• 2-6 % decrease in body fat
• 2-6 inches off your waist
• Firmer arms, legs and buns
• Flatter belly / Less bloat / Smaller waist
• A metabolic boost that causes you to burn more calories at rest
• Energy through the roof
• Improved mood, sleep, sex drive

You should know that I have some expectations of you if you commit to this program. Your success will depend on your dedication and discipline.

WHAT I EXPECT OF YOU during 6 Week Total Body Transformation:
1. You will commit to exercising 5 days a week (3 semi-private training sessions with Sync Fitness and 2 cardio sessions on your own.) Semi-private sessions with Sync Fitness will take place M/W/F at 6am and Tu/Th at 6pm at The Fitness Lab in Wallingford. You choose 3 sessions a week to attend.
2. You will commit to eating a healthy and clean diet (I’ll give you meal plans and recipes.)
3. You will allow me to take and use your before/after data and photos to brag about you and motivate others. Initial Assessments will take place on Saturday, September 25th. Final Assessments will take place on Saturday, November 6th.

WHAT YOU’LL GET during 6 Week Total Body Transformation:
• ASSESSMENTS: This is the fun stuff. I will take and compile your before and after data and photos. I will measure and track your weight, body fat, and body circumference measurements. I know, this doesn’t sound fun. But, trust me, when you compare them end numbers to the beginning numbers, you’ll think it’s the best game ever! VALUE = $187
• STRENGTH TRAINING SESSIONS: I will give you an exercise program that maximizes your workout time to make you a lean, mean calorie burning machine. You’ll meet with me for semi-private training 3 days a week. No more guessing what exercises to do! I will also make sure that you’re performing exercises in a safe way to minimize the risk of injury and blast calories like never before. VALUE = $367
• CARDIO WORKOUTS: I will show you ways to make cardio fly by and burn more calories that you ever thought possible. I’ll even teach you some special tricks to burn more calories in your sleep! VALUE = $197
• NUTRITION: You know what you should eat, but you just haven’t taken the time and effort to clean up your diet, right? I’ll give you a specific meal plan to follow with a ton of recipes. Nothing crazy or super restrictive – just good, healthy, clean eating. VALUE = $ 287
• SUPER SECRET SURPRISE: This is the best part of the program. I’m not sharing this part publicly. I don’t want my competitors to know how I make my magic mark on weight loss. But this piece of the weight loss puzzle will be huge in your success – promise! VALUE = $ 597

Are you ready to sign up yet??

As you can see this program is worth over $1600. But I want to be able to share it with as many people as possible, so I’m offering it as low as I possibly can. The 6 Week Total Body Transformation Program including everything above is two payments of $247. Your first payment will be at the beginning of the program, the second one will be at the halfway point. You would spend twice as much just signing up for 6 weeks of personal training, so this is a really great deal. I hope you don’t let it pass you by. So, if you’re really committed to changing your body before the holidays, register now!

Here is what past participants have to say about their experience upon completing the 6 Week Total Body Transformation:

“This 6 week class has been life changing for me. Like many, I knew many of the principles covered in the class (diet, exercise, what to do, not to do) but Sara put them all together, plus more, in one package and along with her knowledge, enthusiasm and patience, the light bulb finally went off! For the first time in my life, I can honestly say I look forward to working out and really am aware of what I am eating! I have lost 11 pounds and 8 inches and am excited about the way I feel about myself!” Lisa, 52
Manager, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance

“I signed up for TBT to lose weight and improve my overall health and mental well-being. All of these were accomplished!! My weight loss goal was eighteen pounds, and I achieved an 18.8 pound loss. I am more awake and alert during the day and have more energy. On bootcamp days I notice the greatest positive effects.” Kevin, 41, Business Owner

“I signed up for the TBT because I was out of control. I would randomly just eat whatever was around and never really think about its nutritional value. I knew that the summer months would only make this worse if I didn’t get some kind of handle on my eating and exercise habits. For me, this program has made me much more aware of what I am putting into my mouth…and why! I am a new fan of water consumption, even though it has never been my favorite thing. I also discovered many new ways to cut calories but not give up on taste or satisfaction. Plus, thanks to the morning boot camps, my arms and back have never looked this good! I’m moving in the fall months with a new-found motivation to keep up these good habits. Thanks Sara!” Shannon, 40, High School English Teacher

“I have maintained a steady weight and body shape for most of my life, until the last year or so. Between lifestyle/health/medical changes, I was the most “out of shape” that I’ve ever been, at about 15 pounds above my normal weight. The Total Body Transformation program was the perfect opportunity to get my butt in gear :) . The first thing that caught my attention about the program was Sara’s enthusiasm and commitment to support her trainees. She has a lot of knowledge to share, and does so in an open-minded way. Attending Boot Camp 3 days/week has had the biggest impact on me in so many different ways: my energy level is much higher, my mood has improved, my food choices are smarter… I’ve said to myself at LEAST once a week, “I feel like a million bucks!!” And the technical results back up my mantra – I’ve lost over 10 pounds and 4″ from my waistline!” Wendy, 30, Landscape Designer

“I signed up for this program when I found out from my MD that my medical stats (cholesterol, etc) were going up. They were still in the safe range, but they were heading in the wrong direction and that I needed to lose weight in order to get them going in the right direction. My schedule is variable and very full, but I decided that I needed to do this now while I still could, so I signed up.

As a result, I lost 10 pounds, something I have been trying to do for many years, and 6 inches overall. My strength and balance have improved as has my self-image. I commute the seven miles home by bicycle several times a week, and now find that I only need to take one break when I go uphill rather than the two I needed in the past. I’m stronger, faster and even with several jobs am less stressed out as a result of the regular exercise and good diet Sara insisted upon.

It is not a complicated formula and Sara provides the means and motivation to follow it in class and beyond. I look forward to continuing to work with her on my goals and would recommend her to anyone!” Bridget, 41, Curator/Registrar/Educator

“I started Sync Fitness’ Total Body Transformation out of desperation and really didn’t expect much as far as results. Everything else I’d tried over the last several years didn’t work but with my wedding 2 months away I was willing to give it a try. In six weeks I lost 15 pounds and a total of 10 inches. My confidence level has risen and so has my energy level. I look and feel amazing. I’ve learned so much and would never go back to my old eating habits. This program has been life changing for me. I’m now armed with the information to look and feel great for the rest of my life. This program has given me the gift of feeling beautiful on one of the most important days of my life. I’m thrilled with the results!” Christie, 34, Dental Sales

“I had a wonderful experience participating in the TBT program. During the 6 weeks I learned about nutrition, how my body is fueled by calories, how to maximize caloric burn and was physically challenged by Sara’s rigrious (& creative) workouts. Whenever I had a question about meal planning or workouts, Sara was available to guide me. The TBT program not only helped me lose pounds and inches, it also armed me with skills to incorporate healthy fitness and nutrition practices into my post-TBT life.” Erica, 34, Buyer, Nordstrom

Because there is already so much interest in this program and I only have limited space to give you 110% of my energy and effort, I am asking very serious parties to apply for the program. Yes, apply. Don’t be scared. I just need a tool to determine who is most appropriate at this time for this round of my 6 Week Total Body Transformation. If you think you’re up to the challenge, please send me a detailed email telling me what makes you a good candidate for this program this summer. I will choose applicants based on who is the most appropriate for the group at this time.

PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS PROGRAM SOLD OUT WITHIN 8 HOURS OF LAUNCHING THIS SUMMER. IF YOU’RE SERIOUS YOU MUST APPLY TODAY!!

If you got all the way to the bottom of this post and you’re still reading, you’re probably seriously considering this opportunity. For being serious and thorough, I am offering a $100 discount to the first 3 accepted applicants who enter “SERIOUS APPLICANT” in the subject line of their application.

Game on ladies and gentlemen – LET’S DO THIS!!!

Sync Fitness “Bean Fries”


If you love salty snacks like I do, check out my alternative to french fries. These are the healthiest fries you’ll find and they have the perfect bit of crunch to them. A little like a fry, a little like a chip, a little like perfection!

Gasworks Boot Camp in Full Swing!

Here is some footage of last week’s classes. We are having a blast at Gasworks. By having a blast, I mean people are sweating like crazy and working their fannies off, literally! It’s been really inspiring to see all these folks working so hard. They are seeing the results of their hard work pay off, too. I’m getting all sorts of reports of people tightening up their belts and feeling like their clothes are too big. On top of that people are setting new physical records every week. One woman emailed me to report she did 52 push ups on her toes in one class. A few months ago, she was still hammering them out on her knees. Awesome progress. If you check out the video above you’ll even see someone pumping out some one-armed push ups! GOOD TIMES! I hope this video gets you FIRED UP and you decide you must come get in on the fun yourself!

To all my Boot Campers: Leave a comment below telling me your favorite Boot Camp exercise (or least favorite, so I can be sure to include it more often!)

Travel Snacks: Sync Fitness Travel Mix


Let’s be honest, traveling is the perfect, easiest way to talk yourself out of healthy eating. Airport food is not the greatest and when we’re heading out of town for business or pleasure, it’s easy to just throw in the towel, promising, “I’ll just start fresh with healthy eating when I get home.” TRAVEL DOES NOT HAVE TO DERAIL YOUR DIET! The few pounds you gain over a few days of travel can take weeks to take back off. If you travel frequently these pounds REALLY ADD UP!! So here are some suggestions on what to take with you to the airport. Yes, all these items are legal to take through security!

Additionally, I’ve had a few of my 6 Week Total Body Transformation participants ask me for help with their commuting diet. People who are on the road for work, driving between appointments all day, really struggle to make healthy food choices. So, use the suggestions below to pack a little cooler or soft sided cooler bag in the morning.

Check out the video above to see how I make my “Travel Mix”. This stuff has lasted me through trips to Asia, South America, the Caribbean and all over the US. I make a big bag and munch on it my entire trip. This way I never have to resort to french fries. Let me tell you, EVERYWHERE I have traveled internationally has french fries as one of their staples. I think other countries think Americans live on them. It’s a little disheartening.

SNACKS THAT WILL LAST YOUR ENTIRE TRIP:
Sync Travel Mix
Snack Bars (Zing Bars, LaraBars, Pure Organic Bars)
Nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, pepitas)
Dries Fruits (apricots, prunes, dates, cranberries, raisins, cherries)
Protein Powder (Especially ones you can mix with water. Pack a shaker cup too!)

SNACKS FOR FIRST DAY OF TRAVEL:
Sandwiches (place a leaf of lettuce between soggy materials and bread)
String Cheese
Yogurt
Hard Boiled Eggs
Veggies (carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, snap peas)
Fruits (apples, oranges, cherries, grapes)

Please don’t laugh at me!


So, a few weeks ago I started waking up with a achy back and right hip. Check out this video to see what was likely the cause of my pain. BUT, please don’t laugh. I have the biggest feet of any female I know – my running shoes are a size 11. So, I can barely fit them in the camera lens. Ok, my secret is out.

You’ll see in the video how my shoes have completely broken down based on my stride. Your shoes may wear quite differently. So look closely at the bottom of your shoes for sign of wear. Inspect both shoes closely, as one shoe may wear a lot more than the other (as in my case).

If you are in Seattle and find you’re in need of new shoes, let me recommend Super JocknJill by Greenlake. They are really helpful in determining what shoe is best for you. Not all running shoes are good for every foot. PLEASE get the ones that are best for you. Any good running shoe store will watch you walk/run in shoes and be able to tell you the most appropriate shoe for you. Don’t buy shoes from a place that cannot do this! With as many steps as you take on your average run, your shoes are an essential investment. They can make or break you, literally. Happy running friends!

Trader Joe’s Treasures


Come into my kitchen to see what I stock up on when I hit up Trader Joe’s.  This is the best place in town to get affordable organic foods.  It is so important to eat organic as much as you can.  Eating high quality food is an invaluable part of your health.  But eating organic can be really expensive, depending on where you live and where you shop.  We are lucky to have multiple Trader Joe’s locations in Seattle.  As a personal trainer in Seattle, I always start my weekly shopping at TJ’s, knowing that’s where I’ll get the best deals on organic foods.  That said, there are some items I can’t get at TJ’s, so from there I make lists of the other stores I need to hit.  Yes, grocery shopping is a multi-store event in our house, as I’m cheap and I’m picky!  So you can find me in four different stores to complete one week’s worth of shopping.  Check out this video to see where my shopping begins…

Sync Fitness AbTastic Core Workout

Check out this ab workout from Boot Camp on Tuesday. Good times workin’ on the 6 pack! Do this core workout on your own every other day to bring on your own 6 pack!

No Equipment Home Workout / Travel Workout / Home Boot Camp Workout

This is posted in two parts because YouTube won’t allow posts more than 10 minutes. Part I and Part II are intended to be done back to back WITHOUT rest!
PART I:

PART II:

This is posted in two parts because YouTube won’t allow posts more than 10 minutes. Part I and Part II are intended to be done back to back without rest.

I am posting this workout for two reasons:

1. My clients want a good workout they can perform at home with no equipment while I’m on vacation next week.

2.  I want a travel workout I can do without equipment while I am vacationing.

So, here you go!  This workout is similar to what many of my clients experience at Sync Fitness Boot Camp in Wallingford.  It’s some serious cardio and some great strength training as well.  This workout runs through 13 exercises without rest.  I recommend you PERFORM THREE ROUNDS of this workout, TIMING EACH ROUND.  Try to beat yourself with each round – you can do it!!  Try to limit your rest and REST ONLY BETWEEN ROUNDS, not between exercises.  Are you ready?!  Here’s the workout:

WARMUP:  Warm up of your choice.  Should last 3-5 minutes and be light to medium in intensity.  Some ideas are a light jog in your neighborhood, run stairs in your house, jump rope, jumping jacks.

WORKOUT:  Here’s the good stuff!

1. Forward / Reverse Lunges x 10 per side

2. Burpees (with or without Push Ups) x 15

3. Slow Bicycles x 20

4. 180 Jump Squats x 10

5. Inchworms with Push Ups x 10

6. Cobra x (5x:05)

7. Alternating Jump Lunges x 20

8. Staggered Push Ups x 10 per side

9. Leapfrog Squats x 10

10. Jump Squats x 10 (DO NOT REST BETWEEN LEAPFROG SQUATS AND JUMP SQUATS!)

11. Hand to Elbow Plank x 10

12. Jacknives x 15 per side

13. Airplanes x (5x:05)

COOL DOWN: You can do a cardio cool down, same as your warm up and then some stretching.  Don’t forget the stretching – it’s important!

The posted video goes through one round completely.  Use the video as much or as little as you need to.  Once you’ve got the moves down, feel free to mute my chatter and pump up your favorite tunes.  Happy sweating!
