Feedback from my amazing clients
“Prior to both of my pregnancies, I did not work out regularly and struggled with high cholesterol and poor core strength. Before I was pregnant with my daughter, I had back surgery and was terrified of doing anything to re-injure and experience the horrible pain again, so I did not work out at all. During my pregnancy with her, I did not work out consistently and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. My doctor put me on a low-carb diet and daily insulin shots before each meal. I struggled to gain weight even though the only exercise I did was walking. After giving birth, the road back to recovery was hard and it took many months to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.
During the next 2 years, I decided to change my lifestyle and hired a personal trainer, Sara, and my life changed in so many wonderful ways. I was doing weight training two times a week and cardio three times a week. I was in the best shape of my life before I was able to conceive my second child. I did not have gestational diabetes, even though I had an 80% chance of doing so. The birth was much easier and I was able to get back to my pre- pregnancy weight within 3 months. I fully and whole-heartedly believe that because of working out regularly, weights and cardio, that it contributed to a much healthier and easier pregnancy. Thanks to Sara and her excellent care, I feel great! I would recommend to anyone that is thinking of trying to conceive or is pregnant to consider working out regularly. Big shout out to Sara – I love you! ” —Cheryl, personal training client
“I’ve been doing really well. I have lost over 10 lbs since we first met. I have been working to incorporate more veggies and trying to limit carbs later in the day. I’ve been paying much closer attention to my hunger and whether or not it just boredom or stress or actual hunger.”–Rebecca, nutrition client
“I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVED your presentation at the manager’s meeting last week. Burnout is such a real thing and I loved that you addressed it and made it relatable to all of us since we all go through the same thing and are in the same boat. It’s nice to know that none of us are superhuman and we all need breaks. You did a great job and I love hearing your presentations. Really anything you present on I love!!”–-Breanna, fitness professional
“Thank you so much Sara for training me, it’s been 6 weeks and I already feel a huge difference: I am much stronger, more energetic, I wake up before my alarm goes on, and I am definitely more motivated to eat healthy. And I do like your theories: eat more to feel less hungry throughout the day and focus on smaller changes in your lifestyle to get longer term results”.—Nada, personal training client
“I’ve tried to incorporate your feedback on my meals and have been bulking up my calories with good results! I’ve lost some weight and can tell a difference in my body. “—Heather, nutrition client
“I’ve been working with Sara on nutrition planning and it has changed my life. She helped me organize my weeks in order to be able to cook dinner at least 5 nights a week and have healthy lunches by utilizing left overs and easy things to grab. I have found much more balance in my life already this school year. I’m no longer spending my entire day Sunday meal prepping for the week in order to eat healthy. Not to mention I’m actually eating all my meals because I don’t have to get tired of eating the same thing for 5 days straight. The last 2 years I’ve been trying to find a good work life balance while keeping a healthy lifestyle. This year, I finally feel like I’m doing a good job. ” —Jess, nutrition client
“I feel like I am in such a balanced place. I still look forward to food/meals but think a lot less about it in general and feel much less anxious around it. It is a very empowering feeling to know that I can eat basically anything I want at any time and yet most of the time choose to fuel myself with nutrient dense whole foods because that is what keeps me feeling satiated and vibrant. I look forward to continuing to improve my relationship with my body and food in the weeks to come and am feeling very proud of the place I am in currently! Thanks for all your help and support.” —Elena, nutrition client
“Way to kick off the morning. Thanks for all your efforts and enthusiasm. I loved the workout Sara! Lots of great comments on the awesome tunes and energizing session.”–-Kenzie
