When you take one of her classes you can expect a lot of energy, a lot of fun and a lot of coaching! She is so passionate about what she does in the studio and that definitely comes through when teaching! You will laugh, you will cry, you will accomplish whatever your goal is for that day! You will hear her say- Yes you can! Yes you will! Because you can and you will 🙂

She started BLAST in 2008. She did not exercise for the first time until she was 31 years old.

Strong bodies are built by strong minds. In her classes she focuses on being present & doing the best you can each step, each rep, each breath. You will leave feeling like a true BLAST badass!

She wrote a salmon research methodology textbook used in college marine biology classes.

Her teaching style is focused on form and simplicity. Simple but effective. She brings an upbeat and contagious energy to every class.

Her husband’s grandfather dated her grandmother when they were young.

Prepare to be motivated and coached to try things you have never tried before. Every second you push yourself out of your own comfort zone is taking you that much closer to reaching your own personal goals. You will have fun and leave feeling like a BADASS because that is what you are!

She is exactly 4' 11" and a 1/2...tiny, but fierce 🙂

Sarah’s classes welcome clients of all fitness levels. Her focus on mental motivation and proper form allows for new clients and existing clients alike to feel challenged and accomplished by the end of every class.

She is a twin.

He’s a strength and conditioning coach by experience and education. He is firm when it comes to technique and form, as well as the purpose behind your actions. He focuses on the basics and fundamentals of training.

He collects tattoos.

When you come to her class expect to be welcomed with open arms. She will encourage you through the hard sets and make sure you feel successful at the end...all while having a great time listening to a killer playlist!

She loves to cook and entertain. She’s also an avid, but terrible tennis player.

You can expect to be inspired and encouraged to push harder than you ever thought you could. He motivates people to push beyond their perceived limits and try to go just a little harder than they did in their last class/workout because that’s how you get better, faster, and stronger. One of his favorite things to say is: “You have to find comfort in being uncomfortable; you can’t grow, change, or reach your goals unless you step out of your comfort zone.”

Growing up, he was always the most out of shape kid on the sports team.

Clients can expect to come into a high-energy environment. Clients will leave with a feeling of accomplishment and confidence. During class, I will help clients find their own self-motivation, while pushing them beyond what they previously thought possible.

I love to snowboard and never backdown from a challenge.

My training style is collegiate-athletic.  I like to push you to new levels every time you step in the studio and fine tune the little things that will benefit your performance in the long run.  I believe in staying physically strong and competitive for life!

I’m a retired female football player.

Expect a lot of energy, a banging playlist to keep you striving, and hands-on coaching - focusing on form and technique. I believe in exercising the state of mind during class. Teaching clients the inner work is just as important as the outer work. Get ready to unleash your inner beast!

I binge watch Golden Girls over a glass of wine after a long day.

I have lead a healthy, active lifestyle from an early age, playing sports in high school and college.  I decided to become a fitness instructor after college to help other people lead healthy lifestyles and reach their goals.  I taught several types of classes at LA Fitness for 14 years (body works, cycling and cardio kickboxing).  I have completed 5 full marathons and dozens of half marathons. I switched gears last year and decided to train for a fitness competition and competed in July 2018.

In addition to being a fitness instructor, I work full time as a scientist at the CDC.
