client success stories:

 “When I first started working with Sara my goals were to learn correct form in the gym to prevent any further injury on my body. I also wanted to work on my ongoing posture/back pain issues. Sara is very personable and welcoming. My anxiety about being in a gym setting simple did not exist in her sessions. Sara takes the time to educate you and answer all of your questions to ensure you feel comfortable and safe! My biggest success with Sara was no longer having pain during workouts and being able to see my full potential. My current goals are to just keep going, keep the routine, and keep improving. My goals in the begging were to acquire a solid foundation of knowledge so that I would eventually feel comfortable to enter the gym on my own, with my own workouts. Before going to Sara I never thought I could "lift heavy", I never imagined seeing my body change, I just didn't think I was capable. Now I am seeing muscle definition, I feel comfortable and confident to push my self farther and try new things! I can't thank Sara enough for kick starting a journey that has been the most beneficial for both my mind and body.

“Sara is an excellent coach! I have worked with her for over a year now and she has supported me with everything from fitness to nutrition. She is consistent, always checking in and providing motivation and encouragement. Sara is just an all around lovely person to work with. Thank you for your ongoing support Sara!”

“When I started with Sara I could not do a push up let alone push weights.  We started with the basics – holds, crawls, and most importantly core!  Now I can deadlift 125 lbs!  One of my biggest wins is around flexibility and strength, I can go from sitting on the floor to standing without holding on to anything. I could barely hold a plank at first but now I can do 10 full push ups with great form.
I have lost around 30 lbs even with all the muscle gains but I still have about 20 to lose according to the BMI. 
Honestly, I don’t care about the weight, I feel strong and healthy! My clothes fit great and I can hit a softball farther than I ever have and I have been playing for 20 years!
Sara is fierce!  She comes across as this lovely sweet little thing but she practices what she preaches and she doesn’t let you fail!  She holds you accountable and truly wants you to succeed and meet your goals!
I would refer everyone to Sara and have!  She can adapt programs for anybody.  If you are a first timer and hesitant about hiring a trainer, talk to Sara!”

"Working with Sara has been amazing! She is knowledgeable, patient, creates great personalized programs and keeps me motivated. I hate being pushed too hard and Sara ensures that I grow every session by making it slightly more challenging but never pushing me too hard. My endurance, stamina, strength are all greatly improved and I am on my way to meet my fitness goals. I have more confidence in my own abilities and feel empowered to take charge of my own health and fitness goals. It’s also great fun to chat with her about food, current affairs and life. Couldn’t have asked for a better fitness and nutrition coach. Thank you so much, Sara.”

"Sara consulted me on the 3-month program to help me with a variety of health issues, including chronic knee pain and issues with my skin. The consultation process was professional and courteous and I felt like she truly understood my needs and the challenges that I faced. Sara’s take-home recommendations were simple and easy to follow. Furthermore, her detailed recommendations were detailed and insightful. On our first follow up visits she supported my progress and gave me new strategies to try to help follow the recommendations that she had provided. By following her plan, my skin issues have cleared up, I have gained energy, stamina and have significantly reduced my chronic knee pain through her simple dietary and lifestyle changes.
I would highly recommend the nutritional consulting offered by Eat to Thrive Nutrition!"

"I saw Sara because I wanted to learn how to use nutrition to support my Anxiety, Depression and a variety of other difficult symptoms I used to experience daily. I didn't know what to expect, I had come to adapt to a lot of discomforts throughout my daily life. She pointed out that I may have a condition called candida. This caused me to have constant irregular bowel movements, constant fatigue, stomach aches, head aches, blurred vision and many of my favorite foods upsetting my stomach daily. She recommended some simple but effective foods to eat, foods to discontinue eating for the time being and some simple but helpful exercises. She also recommended some vitamins and natural supplements that reduced all of these symptoms, and ones that helped me with anxiety and depression. Since seeing Sara I have been consistently regular, all the aches and pains I had grown to function with had disappeared. I can now eat whatever I want without an upset stomach. As I continue to take specific Vitamins she educated me on as well as follow her basic nutrition and lifestyle recommendations my anxiety and depression is to a minimum where it rarely interrupts my daily life.
I feel blessed that Sara was able to help me get well without any kind of pharmaceutical drugs. I feel better than ever thanks to her natural, simple but effective health support, that gave me long term results!"

"I always recommend Sara to anyone, including athletes, looking to improve and dial in their over all health and performance.  Before I met her I had cancer twice. I am now healthy and running 10 km races for fun. She has a great wealth of the best advice and has been key in helping me achieve my personal health goals. Sara has a lot of vibrant energy to match her professional attitude and is a pleasure to work with. Thank you Sara!!"

”Sara is a kind and empathetic trainer who really took the time to understand what my goals were and how I could reach them despite my lazy, lazy personality.. Her knowledge of the body, what movements create the most results and “homework” all helped me see results in a relatively short amount of time. I can’t recommend her enough!”
