Hiring Sarah is the best decision I ever made in my life.  I am a 56 year old man who, three years ago, was recovering from a difficult divorce, the death of my father, and an extremely stressful job.  I was over-worked, tired, and clinically depressed. My self-esteem was pretty low.  I began working with Sarah two and sometimes three times per week that January. By December, I had dropped 11% of my body weight and at least four inches from my waist. I have gained noticeable inches in my chest and I have toned biceps where before I had fat.  I can almost bench press my weight.  My heart is healthier and my body fat percentage has been reduced from a very bad 26% to a normal 21%.  I eat better and feel better physically and mentally. In fact, I have not felt this good since I was 30.  I could not have done this without Sarah’s knowledge, encouragement, and gentle discipline. She has been there for me year after year, never missing an appointment, never being late, and always willing to work around my very hectic schedule. She was there for me when I was injured in a motorcycle accident and needed to change my routines.  Sarah genuinely cares about her clients and I consider her not just a personal trainer, but my friend. I owe her a lot.”

When I met Sarah, I had never worked out a day in my life.  I had just given birth to my first baby and gained 50 lbs in my pregnancy.  I was breastfeeding but still found it very hard to shed the pounds. One of my friends recommended Sarah, and, after procrastinating for a while, I contacted her. We started working out three times a week, and I was so impressed with the results!  She got me back to my pre-pregnancy weight in only 4 months. When I got pregnant again, I continued with Sarah all the way thru the pregnancy. She knew how to help me exercise safely, and she was very sensitive to the changes my body was undergoing.  This time I gained much less weight and had so much more energy, which really helped me during the birth. Sarah is knowledgeable about the body, and she is fantastic at personalizing a workout routine to fit the individual person, incorporating yoga, weights, swimming, stairs, running, stretching and pilates.   On top of that, she is just wonderful with my kids and lovely to be around!  My workouts are a bright spot in my day, and I can only give Sarah my warmest and most enthusiastic recommendations.

I am a 55 year old woman who hates to workout.  Sarah came into my life, and even though I still hate to exercise, she has given me the drive to continue.  I have firmed up my whole body and feel good about my appearance again.  She has helped me strengthen my back, release my neck, and I'm actually wearing short skirts again.  In my years, I have had many trainers and could not stick with it.    She knows how far to push you and makes sure you do not get injured in the process.  For someone my age, that is crucial.  She is by far the best.

When I started working out with Sarah, I had been suffering with chronic siatica for years, and at times was so stiff from sitting behind a desk that I had trouble dressing myself.   I also developed high blood pressure, which worried me greatly.   I began working out three times a week with Sarah, and almost immediately my sciatica began to disappear.  I also reduced my blood pressure to a normal level...avoiding the need to take medication.  I became extremely flexible, and I would say that my muscle tone is amazing.  I no longer have "bat wings" under my arms that could fly me around the room!  I am 2 1/2 years into my training with Sarah and the sciatica is no longer an issue.  That alone has made an amazing difference in my life.  I trust Sarah completely, and I have benefited so much from my training with her!!

"Sarah has patiently worked with me on my food choices and portion sizes.  She helped me realize what I should be eating more of and how much of a difference it would make if I cut down on just a few things.  She also devised an exercise program designed solely for me and my goals.  Her motto is 'strength from the outside in'.  It took a few months for me to truly understand what that meant, but now I am making much healthier choices.  My mind and body are getting stronger, and I've lost 20 lbs.  The healthy way."

I'm the kind of woman who gains 60 pounds per pregnancy.  I didn't care so much the first time, but by the second pregnancy I tried to keep the pounds down, to no avail.   It took me a year to get my body back after my first child, and this time around, I went straight to Sarah.  She was totally responsive and respectful of my after-baby body.  Not to mention she was able to push me through no matter how tired I was, and two kids can get you tired!  With great enthusiasm she helped me get my core strength back (boy, did I loose those abs while pregnant).  She even had me do certain exercises while holding my baby (very carefully).  I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and I have more energy to run around with my toddler.  I feel so good about my body, I'm only sorry I didn't find her sooner.
