Sarah loves all kinds of sports from dance to football and has an undying love for kickboxing & UFC. She is super passionate about kickboxing....if you want proof, just watch the intensity on her face as she demos your round or your active break :) She can empathize with anyone who struggles with weight. At one time, she weighed 235 lbs. and through working out lost a total of 85 lbs. That's right, she went from a size 22 to a size 7. She wants to encourage, motivate and lead others to believing that they can do it too! Her favorite round is 4 when she velcros her boxing gloves! She is our manager and a great trainer!! She was awarded our trainer of the year in 2016.
