Find it all here.
Here’s what you can expect from PowerUP:
Size Inclusive, Trauma-Informed Approach
You’re here to connect with your body through movement - tracking your weight, measuring your waist, pushing through pain, and ignoring your needs don’t belong here.
Movement should serve YOU, not the other way around.
Your Program May Include:
Foundational Strength
Primary strength skills and simple, low-stress routines. 20-40 minutes. Options include:
dumbbells and kettlebells
bands
off-the-floor and seated options
Intermediate Strength
More challenging skill variations and combinations. 30-60 minutes. Choose from:
dumbbells and kettlebells
full gym (commercial or at home)
Active and passive moves to improve your quality of life and give you those feel-good vibes. ~20 minutes.
Mobility
Conditioning Movement
Build your stamina using any movement you like: walking, running, swimming, seated marches, cycling, etc. These workouts use heart rate tracking or perceived effort levels to get you working - but not too hard.
20-45 minutes.
Movement Snacks
Super simple circuits that add some energy into your day. 5-15 minutes.
no equipment (travel friendly) strength
DB/KB strength
conditioning
mobility
off-the-floor and seated options

The secret sauce is you - because you’re the only one who really knows what your body needs.
Hey, I’m Sarah - a trainer who also feels left out in classic fitness spaces!
I never played team sports, I thought exercise = weight loss for years, didn’t lift weights until college, and I often get overstimulated and overwhelmed at the gym.
When I started exercising, I was obsessed with looking smaller. Now I move because I want to be able to help people in my life who need a strong buddy - it also helps that I feel more prepared for a zombpocalypse.
Movement is a fantastic tool for connecting to your body, moving through trauma, overcoming your self-imposed barriers, and building the life you want.
You can have all of that without pursuing intentional weight loss or shaming yourself into the gym. Let me show you how!
