Sarah’s other passion is coaching group fitness and cycle classes. That’s where you can find her most mornings at 5:30 a.m.! She loves the energy that comes from motivating others to push themselves to be healthy and strong, both physically and mentally. She believes it’s the best way to start your day.
Sarah grew up in a small farm town in northwest Iowa, which has helped instill personal values of kindness, integrity, hard work, respecting others, and of course, some humility. She currently resides in Libertyville with her three teenage boys, and enjoys spending much of her “free” time attending their many sports and other activities. When not watching her boys play sports, Sarah’s favorite football team to watch is the Kansas City Chiefs!
