Training with Sara is a mix of fun and hard work. Sara knows that gyms can be intimidating and training can be vulnerable. Her gentle yet confident personality creates for a challenging workout in a comfortable atmosphere.
I feel proud of things I didn’t think I was capable of doing. She maintains a gentle, supportive style of training but pushes you to reach your max at every moment. She focuses on the right form over how many reps you could get while doing it sloppily. THANK YOU FOR CHANGING MY LIFE! Sometimes Tito the Doodle joins your session and that’s really the best.
Therapy and the gym in one!

Of all the trainers I’ve had over the past three years, Sara definitely pushes me the hardest — which means that I see the best results. In this job field, you need to be passionate about your work, and Sara is definitely that. My mother and I joke that we want to have “Sara arms,” and given how she designs our workouts to build all our arm muscles, we’re sure to get there. Even when we feel like we can’t do any more reps, Sara is so positive; she inspires me to want to do my best.
Absolutely blown away at the mental and physical transformation I have had over the last three months with Sara. She challenges me at every session. Weirdly, I feel the most comfortable in my body when I am training with her. I feel strong and am determined to be stronger.
My daughter and I work out with Sara together, and we often laugh at how much we claim to dread our workouts while actually LOVING them. Sara is tough! Sara is fierce! Sara works us hard!!! But Sara also pushes us to do things we didn’t believe we could do, and WOW have we seen results in a relatively short time. I’m a couch potato by nature, but I am so much stronger since training with Sara, and I am so much more confident in my body’s abilities.
Sara asked us how we felt about lunges, and we both started to cry. But she patiently taught us how to do a correct lunge (I love how she spends the time needed to make sure we’re using the proper form and that we understand exactly what muscles we’re supposed to be working), and now it comes so easily and naturally — something I never expected! Sara is kind and encouraging, and spending time with her is a (sweaty) joy.
Working with Sara has done so much for my health and fitness. She helped me focus on improving my form, confidently navigate the gym, and think about the mind/body connection to get the most out of my workouts. She pushes me and encourages me to do more than I thought I could achieve. I’ve lost weight, gained muscle, and increased my energy. Best of all – we have a blast together!
Sara makes workouts fun. She challenges me to do exercises and lift weights I would never attempt on my own, and the results I achieve with Sara as my trainer are more noticeable each and every week we see each other. Sara is kind, relatable and fun. As a busy working mom it’s hard for me to fit in workouts but with Sara holding me accountable I always get them done and I never regret a workout!
Sara has pushed me to be stronger and as we age it’s great fun to find unexpected ways to push toward new goals. Thanks Sara!
Sara is an amazing trainer. It’s very apparent that she loves and is passionate about her job and clients. She is fun and very reinforcing. She is great at listening to your fitnesses goals and pushing you to achieve them. She is the perfect balance between pushing and cheerleading. It’s been a year and a couple of months since I started working with her and I can definitely see significant improvement. I look forward to training with her every week.
Sara is simply the best personal trainer. She really listens to what your goals are and helps you achieve them through individualized sessions uniquely targeted toward you. I am stronger, leaner, and fitter because of Sara’s customized personal training, and look forward to our sessions and her can-do motivation and specific guidance each time.
I have been training with Sara for several years and quite simply, she is the best! She understands how to work with seniors like me (haha). She has incredible patience and encourages me every step of the way. 5 stars!!
Sara is great at assessing an exercise plan for individual goals and limitations. She is a great listener and I am really enjoying the workouts. I had a mobility issue with my shoulder and she was key in helping me strengthen that area.
I have been training with Sara for over two years now! I would have never been able to get where I am today without Sara’s incredible knowledge about weightlifting and her unwavering support!
Sara has a lot of passion for what she does and is very good at it. I always leave our sessions exhausted yet energized. Training with Sara has kept my mind sane and my body strong.
Sara was very highly recommended to me by another client of hers, whose strength and tone were striking. Sara turned out to be an absolute gem of a trainer. Knowledgeable, creative, encouraging, dependable, supportive, and always optimistic. She makes you believe in yourself… she is a superb trainer!
Sara’s passion, dedication, and excitement for fitness are contagious! She crafts weekly workouts that are challenging, creative, and fun.
In 2018 after graduating college and being a college athlete I started to gain weight and I was unhappy with my body leading me to look for a trainer to help me feel happy again in my own body. After seeing Sara work out and seeing how she pushed herself in the gym is what drew me into wanting “that girl” as my trainer. Sara knew what kind of workouts would get me to my goals. She pushed me every single session. As a result, I lost 30 lbs. in less than a year! But that was not the end of our journey. I still train with Sara at least once a week!
Sara is so passionate about training and has really helped with my self-esteem and my strength. I’m 63 and I don’t feel it and always hold my head high and feel good about myself after each session. I’m a definite Team Sara.
