Personal Trainer – My own personal fitness journey began after I graduated high school in 2017. I got a job at a local gym working front desk & my passion quickly grew as I watched members transform their bodies and grow in their confidence, as well as witness their positive energy as they worked towards the physiques they envisioned for themselves. I played sports all throughout high school including soccer, volleyball, and basketball; and felt as though I didn’t know which route to take in order to move forward with my fitness journey. I eventually pursued a degree that I was constantly intrigued by and matched with my long-term goal of working as a physician’s assistant in aesthetics. After five years, I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Science as well as a minor in Biology.

I have always had a love for sports, athletic training, and conditioning, which I applied over time towards learning about muscle hypertrophy and growth with the correct programming to achieve results and transform one’s body composition. Over the last six years, I have had the opportunity to teach myself the proper exercise mechanics and techniques to build muscle efficiently, while maintaining the leaner physique I strived for, mixed with the overall proper nutrition to fuel my body. Soon after growing such a passion for this field, I received my NASM certification and began growing my business! I have gained a great amount of knowledge throughout the years, experienced many trials and errors with my own body, and have endlessly gained more comprehension about nutrition and exercise which I apply to my lifestyle daily as I actively compete in bikini competitions, as well.

As someone who has mastered the principles of a healthy lifestyle and still takes every day as a learning lesson, I dedicate my business to enhancing the lifestyles of my amazing clients as I strive to aid them in achieving their full potential physically and mentally. I highly prioritize a strong mindset, ensuring that my clients transform in all aspects, including self-belief, feeling comfortable with the changes they will make but not feeling limited, and overall becoming their own biggest fans so they are genuinely excited to transform their lives and spread this positivity within our family. My career drives me daily which is why I don’t see my business as a job, I am always enthusiastic about new girls joining our groups, taking the steps towards improving their lives from the inside out, and in the end, trusting me to be there every step of the way along their fitness journeys!

Why did I become a personal trainer?

Let me tell you a bit about myself first so that you can get to know ME first.

My name is Sarah Vandekar and I am orignally from NY but just recently moved to sunny San Diego to get away from the below freezing weather. When I am not training, you could find me at concerts, playing drums, skateboarding or anything else fun and adventurous.

Growing up , I was around close family members who struggled with eating disorders and soon found myself falling into the same path. Weighing myself everyday, barely eating, NOT going to the gym, and unhealthy choices led me to get down to 100 pounds by the time I was in my early 20’s.

The day that I decided to change my life and start a new healthy lifestyle was the best day of my life because not only did it change MY life, it also opened up a door for me to help other people. I became a personal trainer after I saw the change in myself both physically and mentally and I vowed that I would do that for other people. Fast foward a few years and I am living my dream of helping other people get healthy and to see their worth. I love my clients and would do anything to help them succeed in their goals.
