My husband and I have been doing PT and group training with Sarah for 9 months and have no intention of stopping! We came along nursing a couple of injuries which Sarah has helped us to manage and we have both noticed a huge improvement in our overall health and well-being. Our sessions are always interesting and fun. Sarah is a wonderful motivator and will always challenge our abilities. I have found that I am capable of more than I sometimes believe. No two sessions are ever the same, so it’s impossible not to have fun while creating a fitter, stronger and healthier version of yourself. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sarah as a Personal Trainer. Whether you are training for a marathon or just beginning your journey to a better lifestyle, becoming part of this wonderful group will be a first step you will never regret taking.

I came to Sarah 4 years ago after illness and losing 18kg and plenty of muscle. Since then Sarah has trained me back to better condition ever. My body is better and to deal with the sports and events I participate in without the typical aches and strains. This will keep me participating in sports for many years to come.

Every session is unique and takes into account my current state. Each session is subtly different to keep muscles I didn’t know I had exercised. I can’t imagine going it alone without Sarah’s excellent programs.

As a middle aged mother of two children aged 9 and 14, my life had been filled with activity. About two years ago I suffered a knee injury and my personal fitness dropped dramatically. I felt too young to have surgery, and the pain increased with ill-health. Crunch time came at Christmas, when I hoisted myself in the most unsightly and un-elegant way onto the back of our boat at a very busy boat ramp! Something had to be done about this!!!

Sarah found a perfect match with another client Trish, and together we started to train together. My goal was to move mentally and physically to being ‘able’ rather than feeling and thinking ‘dis-abled”. Together we worked on many areas, and each time I slowly felt stronger. Sarah constantly checked in each week before and after training to see how we felt; she knew when to increase training or decrease to our ability, the whole experience felt like it was tailored to our individual needs. With Sarah’s knowledge, she moved not only my body but my mind strength too. I’m truly grateful for her help, her guidance and her amazing patience.

I am a 47 year old single working mom of two. I have been seeing Sara once a week for the past 4 years. One session early in the week helps me stay on track. Working with Sara is not just an exercise session, it’s about movement, mobility, and wellness.

I have had a number of health issues over the years and working on my fitness and tracking how my body changes as a result of these and stress has been a real eye opener. I am also happy to see the health benefits of maintaining my fitness. A recent scan indicated I have the spine of a 20 year old- a direct result of resistance training.
So thank you Sarah!

I’ve been going to Sarah’s group training sessions for a couple of years now and it’s been the best thing I have ever done. I’m fitter, stronger and more toned that I’ve ever been. Not that the job is done, there is always room for improvement but Sarah’s classes provide the perfect platform for this.

The classes are extremely well organised. Sarah starts and ends on time and prior to our arrival she has the class all pre-planned, written up on the whiteboard and all the equipment is laid out ready to go. Sarah caters to all fitness levels, all shapes, all sizes and both men and women. I have had a long standing injury and Sarah researched it in her own time and is always able to give me an alternative or advise on what I should or shouldn’t do.

Now and then Sarah offers extra activities above and beyond the group training sessions – things like an 8 Week Transformation Challenge or a Detox Challenge. These are completely optional so if it’s not your thing, that’s fine, but I have taken part in two Detox Challenges and found them so beneficial. Who would have thought that I could go without coffee! I didn’t know I had it in me but with Sarah’s motivation and the support of a great bunch of girls, I did it.

Thanks not only to Sarah, but to the girls that I train with each Tuesday and Friday morning. I started out only knowing one person, now I have made a whole bunch of new fitness buddies. We all struggle with eating properly and fitting in enough exercise, but Sarah is adamant that we don’t have to be perfect. Bet you didn’t think a personal trainer would say that!

“I joined Sarah’s group training sessions in 2015, extremely unfit after a couple of years of serious health issues and operations. I wanted to get back to a good fitness base so I could play hockey. Doing group training pushes me to work harder with better results than if I was doing individual circuit training or training on my own. Every session is well planned, using a variety of exercise equipment which ensures the sessions are enjoyable and offer a good all round fitness workout. Sarah is a great motivator who encourages you to push your fitness boundaries!”

Kelly Hughes

After seeing Sarah’s first ad in the Bombay School newsletter back in Feb 2014, I decided to give her outdoor training sessions a go. After the first session I was hooked! Sarah has an amazing ability to understand your needs and then to motivate and push you to achieve the goals that you want to achieve. She takes a personal interest in your health and fitness goals and works with you to achieve them.

Over the last 18 months I have had an injury that has made training and fitness difficult, this has not stopped Sarah encouraging me to come along and do what I can. She always makes sure there are exercises tailored to my specific needs but that still challenge me. If you want fitness and fun I would recommend giving Sarah’s sessions a go!

“I have been attending Sarah’s group training sessions for the past three years. Sarah has a wealth of knowledge, skill, and expertise. She is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm she brings to every session. Her easy-going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Sarah places high value on correct form with exercise, and always motivates me to work hard, but in a fun and creative way.

Not only, is Sarah passionate about fitness she also has lots of knowledge around nutrition. When my 13 year old daughter went to boarding school Sarah gave her some great advice around making the right food and exercise choices while away from home.

I look forward to Sarah’s sessions and always come away feeling alive!”

“I’m not a big fan of exercise, I’ve tried everything from gym member ships to walking, swimming and back to the gym…If I don’t exercise then I stiffen up and it makes my life and job that little bit more painful. When a friend joined Sarah’s and loved it she said come along……its changed my attitude to exercise and now I wouldn’t miss a session ( unless something comes up then I do a make up one) OMG I actually make sure I go on another night ……!

It’s fun, hard, exciting, challenging and most of all friendly….you can be super fit or like me and each exercise has a different level, you don’t feel defeated at the end but super excited that you did that one extra burpee or push up. Each class is different and that so works for me…..overall Sarah is a wonderful and dedicated instructor and I’m fitter and stronger than ever before!…….”
