Rooted in Strength. Fueled by Purpose.

How We Train

Oak & Ember sessions are intentionally small, with no more than four clients training at a time. You get the energy and encouragement of working alongside others with the attention and coaching that can get lost in a larger class.

Our sessions blend strength training, cardio kickboxing, and purposeful movement, with programming designed to challenge you at your level. You don't need to keep up with the person beside you. Your weights, intensity, and modifications are your own.

You won't find choreography to memorize or pressure to perform. You'll learn proper technique, understand what you're doing and why, and build strength and confidence one session at a time.

The oak does not become strong overnight.

It grows slowly.

One season at a time.

Every storm it survives becomes another ring inside the trunk.

The ember is different.

It begins as a tiny spark.

Small enough to overlook.

When cared for consistently, it becomes a steady fire capable of incredible transformation.

Strength is built like an oak.

Change begins like an ember.

Let’s discover what you are capable of together.

Meet Coach Sara

Hi! I am Sara. I believe good coaching starts with paying attention.

I did not create Oak & Ember to fit as many people as possible into a room. I created it so I could coach the people in it.

My approach combines strength training, cardio kickboxing, mobility, and a healthy dose of challenge but no two people need exactly the same thing from a workout. I want to know when you need a heavier weight, when a movement needs to be adjusted, when you're ready to push a little harder, and when simply showing up was the win for the day.

I'm a coach who will teach you why, not just tell you what to do. My goal isn't to make you dependent on me. It's to help you understand your body, recognize what you're capable of, and build strength and confidence that carries into the rest of your life.

Lasting strength is built over time, with a reason behind the work.
