Welcome to the Persistence Over Perfection,
aka #pop challenge!


I'm your coach, Sarah Smith!

I am a personal trainer, Level 2 Russian Kettlebell Instructor, certified postnatal fitness specialist, pelvic floor and gut health advocate and mom of three kiddos!

I know how difficult it is to prioritize routine daily movement and weekly training when your life is FULL and getting to a gym is near impossible!!!! Boy do I know it.

But you know what, it wasn’t until I embraced the restrictions and limitations of my current lifestyle that I FINALLY found a way to get consistent in my self-care and movement practice.

In a nutshell I told my self that I wasn’t going to be “perfect”, but I was going to be persistent!

  • I found spaces in my day to get in pieces of a workout or at least a few movements here and there.

  • I kept my workouts short and sweet.

  • I accepted, even embraced interruptions.

  • I focused on QUALITY EFFICIENT programming in order to make the most out of my time.

    And you know what?
    I got better results than I had EVERY gotten in my life while spending 1/3 of the time training, often with kids and life interrupting my workout time!

    You see, you don’t have to spend hours and hours working out to “boost” your metabolism and “burn” calories, what you need is efficient workouts that meet you where you are TODAY, help you to build strength and balance hormones to get the physique changes you want WITHOUT leaving you burnt out and exhausted.

    With just one kettlebell and, a resistance band, 20 minute workouts several days a week and a can-do attitude, you can change not JUST your fitness and physique, but your entire mindset around exercise!

When we have time-efficient fat-loss generating workouts AND ditch the perfectionist mindset that most of us have (and don't even know it!), then we can all learn to be consistent with our fitness and self care practices for the long haul. 

That's how we cultivate a lifestyle that builds confidence, energizes us, makes us feel proud in our bodies AND gets us lasting results.
