Sara’s love for movement began long before she ever stepped into a studio. Growing up immersed in cheer and dance, she found joy in discipline, musicality, and the electric energy of moving in sync with others. That passion led her to begin teaching group fitness during her first year of college in 2005—a path she embraced wholeheartedly and never looked back from. What started as a college job became her full-time career and lifelong calling.

Over the last 20 years, Sara has taught nearly every discipline imaginable. From cycling and strength training to yoga, Pilates, barre, and even water aerobics, she built a foundation rooted in versatility, curiosity, and a desire to understand movement from every angle. Her deep expertise in Pilates—both reformer and mat—along with barre and strength modalities, continues to shape her signature style: grounded in precision, layered with challenge, and always focused on empowering students to discover their potential.

Throughout her career, Sara has led group fitness teams across boutique studios, big-box gyms, and YMCA communities. She eventually became certified to certify other instructors—a role that allowed her to train, mentor, and develop countless teachers as they stepped into their own leadership and teaching journeys. Guiding instructors toward confidence, clarity, and authenticity remains one of her greatest honors.

Sara’s classes are known for their high energy, motivating flow, and the perfect mix of hard work and play. She encourages students to embrace the challenge, tap into their inner fire, and surprise themselves with what they’re capable of. You’ll sweat, you’ll laugh, and you’ll almost certainly feel a little shake in your legs—but you’ll leave stronger for it.

Most of all, Sara brings genuine care to every room she leads. She has a gift for connecting with people individually, making each student feel seen, supported, and believed in. Her hope is that every class offers not just a workout, but an experience—one that inspires confidence, joy, and a deeper trust in what your body and spirit can do.

Whether you join Sara for a dynamic Pilates session, a powerful strength class, or an uplifting blend of movement styles, you can expect encouragement, authenticity, community—and a whole lot of heart.
