Sarah stirling - spotlight athlete

Congratulations, Sarah, October’s Member of the Month!

Sarah always walks through the door with a smile and is ready to get after it! Somehow, while juggling life with 8 kids , she still finds time to show up, work hard, and make fitness a priority. She’s super easy to coach, always willing to try something new, and brings such a fun, positive energy to class. No complaints, no excuses—just shows up and puts in the work!

What do you do for work? 

I am a full time wife and mom! 

What would you like us to know about you and your family?

I’ve been married for 16 years to my best friend! We have 8 children together that we homeschool. We have 2 kids in ice hockey, but when we aren’t at a hockey rink our favorite things to do together are hiking, hanging at a skatepark and getting ice cream!

How long have you been training and what time do you typically train?

I joined cynergy when I was 14 weeks pregnant, about 18 months ago. I typically come to the 6am!

What is your favorite lift and why?

I think deadlifts, they make me feel strong!

What are your current life goals? 

Just to continue to get stronger, all while teaching my children how to live a healthy life, and enjoy it. 

How has training impacted your life outside of the box?

I had been struggling with my mental health for a couple years and knew I needed something to change. Training and being a part of cynergy has been that change for me. The coaches and friends I have made here are kind and encouraging, and that pushes me to be a better version of myself.
