Brooke L. says, "After having three male trainers, I decided I needed to find a woman trainer who could understand my perimenopausal body (and attitude). I agreed to meet Sarah because she was extremely responsive and really nice on the phone. I was a little hesitant because she is quite a bit younger than me, but one of the first things she said when we met in person was "we need to work on your pelvic tilt". I had no idea what that meant but I knew immediately that she was the one for me. I work out with Sarah 4 days a week, she's never missed a workout and she's never given me the same routine twice. I love working out with her at our small, private gym because I don't feel intimidated and everyone there is super nice. My body is transforming before my eyes and I now know all about my pelvic tilt lol. Her knowledge of the human body is really remarkable. She definitely is a diamond in the rough. Give her a shot, you won't regret it 💪🏽"See more

Ruth S. says, "I was one of Sean’s first clients and I’m still a client over four months later. I’ve lost over 20 pounds working with Coach Sean, and he continues to push me physically and mentally! My Muay Thai technique has come a looong way—members of my gym’s professional fight team have commented on my progress and have even started to work with Coach Sean after seeing mine and others progress! He takes a genuine interest in all of his clients and each of our goals and continues to push the boundaries and make continued gains. He works with all levels from beginners to expert fighters—the devil is in the details and so is Sean! I can’t wait to see what the next year working with him will bring!"See more
