I’ve had an exceptional experience working with Sarah over the past few months. What stood out to me was her ability to develop a customized plan that specifically addressed my goals. This let me know that she was truly listening during our consultation, and that she valued my opinions. Honestly, this can’t be said about most fitness coaches I’ve had in the past. I really appreciate her comprehensive and holistic approach. She asked about both short and long-term objectives, movement assessments, past nutritional formulations, stress levels, sleep, etc. I told her that I was getting ready for a two week-long trip to Alaska, with several demanding ascents. This fit into the overarching goal of being ready for mountain hunting every fall. Once the assessment was finished, she dialed in my workout schedule and accompanying diet. I was surprised to see how minimal the workout schedule was considering how physically demanding the trip was going to be. She put me on a two day per week full body routine (I was used to a 5-6 day per week bodybuilding split). Nevertheless, I put my full faith in her and followed the program to a T. I dropped almost 10 pounds in 11 weeks, and breezed through every climb. I thought I was in shape on past excursions, but this was noticeably different. I think the accountability of having a trainer like Sarah pushed me through a plateau that I had been experiencing for quite some time, and it felt good to see results again. I’m excited to continue working with Sarah, and I feel confident that not only will I be in peak condition in the fall, but also for some loftier goals I have for the future.
