Campbell River Personal Trainer

The Heart Strong Fitness Philosophy

It is my passion to help people live a more active, fulfilling and healthy life.  Exercise benefits everyone, no matter what your age, shape, financial situation, or health status is.  You can't do anything about yesterday or tomorrow, but you can certainly do something about today - so put yourself first, and make today the day you made the most life changing decision of your life.

Invest in yourself!

You would hire an expert to help you with a golf lesson or retirement investment, so why wouldn't you hire a professional to help you exercise efficiently and effectively and invest in the most important thing in your life - your health?

Trainers can sometimes be intimidating - Sarah is knowledgeable, friendly and down-to-earth.  She has a clear understanding of what my experience with exercise and training has been, when to push me, the direction I`d like to go with my health and fitness, and what my goals are.  She creates programs that take my cardio, strengthening, core and flexibility training into account, and has demonstrated to me that writing my program down and keeping track of my progress makes me accountable, makes me want to keep doing it, and shows me the improvements I`ve made.  I have been quite active and athletic in the past and I spent a few months doing what I thought was the right program, and now wish I had trained with Sarah so that my program was more focused, effective and efficient; I would have seen results faster.

Don`t wait until you`re "fit enough to work out with a trainer." Sarah is ready to work with you no matter where you are starting from. -Chris S

You are your body's expert!

You are the expert about your body, what has or has not worked for you in the past, and how you might fit exercise into your everyday life.  I bring a wealth of experience in exercise training and lifestyle coaching in the average individual, as well as clients with heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis, lung conditions.  Together we can put together a safe, effective and long-lasting program that fits your needs. 

Change is good!

Alternatively, you may already be exercising and just need a change in your routine.  Our bodies adapt to what we put them through, so if you want to continue to see an increase in your fitness level, make your activities of daily living a little easier, or continue to manage your weight and body composition, you need to change things up - at least every three or four months.

Be happier, healthier and more energetic!

So whether you are the 30 year old man who wants to train for a half marathon, the 65 year old woman recently diagnosed with diabetes and osteoporosis, the 80 year old man with a “weak heart” or congestive heart failure, the 50 year old man who has recently experienced a heart attack and is returning to work, or the 25 year old new mom that just needs to do something for herself, I can help you reach your goals of being a happier, healthier, and more fulfilled and energetic you!
