Whenever strength training shows up on social media, you get a pretty good idea of what it’s like: Intense! Big muscles! Big weights! Lots of flexing!
“I could never do that! I wouldn’t even know where to start.”
“I’m way too out-of-shape to lift anything.”
“That looks dangerous! I would hurt myself.”
“I’ve never been able to stick to a fitness plan, so it doesn’t matter.”
“I don’t want to get big muscles anyways.”
"None of those people look like me."
But what if we changed that story?

"I realized how strong I am... Being given the space to try things with support allowed me to recognize my own strength and abilities and quiet the lies I'd been telling myself!"

Sarah meets me where I am.
She makes strength training accessible.
There is no judgement or harshness.
Strength training improves your life: your body works better and you can do more. My programs are all about lifting weights in a way that supports your body long term and feels GOOD.
We’re talking evidence-based programs that train your body in many different ways, translating directly to helping you move better every. single. day.
YOU are the expert of your own body, not me. My coaching is set up so that you always have a choice in how you’re moving.
Exercises always come with options so you can learn more about how your body moves and choose what’s best for you.
But… you still get workouts, support, and informed feedback from me! You’re never on your own when it comes to what to do and how to lift weights.
My coaching is a judgement and shame-free space to help you build compassion for yourself and meet yourself where you’re at right now.
Strength training is for EVERY. BODY. regardless of body size, gender, race, ability, sexuality, age, or background.
All of my coaching is weight neutral (no weight loss, measurements, or progress pictures) and anti-diet culture. You can show up as yourself, as you are right now, and feel accepted for who you are.
Your thoughts are just as important to your strength journey as the exercises you do. What helps you stay consistent with workouts no matter what’s going on in your life is your fitness mindset!
I don’t just throw a program at you and expect you to feel motivated 24/7. Instead, we work on where you’re struggling and use science-based strategies for changing behavior.
The RGB Strength System is my framework you getting you hella strong! Unlike workout programs that just run your body into the ground, the RGB Strength System sets you up for lifelong strength that feels good.
By using each of these core ingredients, which are in all of my programs, you'll get stronger so you can live that full-color life you desire.
You are a whole ass person! Most workout programs treat you like a bunch of parts and throw you into endless cycles of bicep days, quad days, and ab days that don't really help you move better. Instead, my programs treat you like you have an entire body that moves as one. The movement strength exercises you do might seem kinda weird, but they teach your body to work together so you have no qualms about moving however you want.
You know the exercises, but you still can't seem to pull yourself off the couch for a workout. This is where fitness mindset comes in! Instead of getting flooded with feelings of guilt and shame, you can start to see workouts as something that you look forward to. It doesn't have to be this massive chore that always feel soul-sucking. In my programs, you'll take steps away from diet culture, learn how to trust your body, and figure out how fitness works into your life.
The basic are the beginning of everything- gotta build the foundation before you can build the house, right? Here's the kicker: there are SO MANY WAYS to do each of those basic exercises. Your body doesn't move like everyone else's, so why should you be trying to fit yourself into their box? My programs help you figure out what feels good for you, instead of pushing you into a one-size-fits-all program that feels icky or even painful.
I’m an inclusive strength & movement coach who helps people get hella strong so they can have fun and live their lives in full color! My coaching is beginner-friendly, movement-based, and size-inclusive (no weight loss or calorie counting!). I believe in coaching that is kind, not shaming or judgmental as so many fitness experiences are. With 10 years of strength training and 13 years of swing dance instruction under my belt, I love helping people who don't feel like they belong in mainstream fitness spaces find their strength so they can take full advantage of every movement opportunity in their lives.
