"All I can say is…WOW! Where would I be today if it weren’t for Sarah and UpGrade? Signing up with UpGrade has been the best experience of my life (next to giving birth) to date! My UpGrade program was designed just for me and what I needed and wanted out of my new lifestyle. She helped me through injury issues as well as mental issues. It is all a puzzle and each piece needs to fit together to work effectively. I have learned so much from this program and continue to learn, as life has a tendency to throw the curve balls now and then." - Wendy Larsson

"Working with Sarah has been an awesome experience.  I have learned that it is very important to include exercise, hydration, and healthy nutrition in your everyday lifestyle.    I have had two back surgeries and foot surgery.  Needless to say, I had back pain constantly.  I also began to gain weight at age 50.  I joined Weight Watchers numerous times and regained the weight each time.  My middle just kept getting larger and I really didn't realize how I looked , but knew how I felt - really tired all the time and constant back and leg pain.  I am thrilled to report that my leg pain is gone and the back pain is much less severe.  I met the goals that Sarah prescribed for me and actually look forward to the wonderful, energized feeling I have after my workout.  I am also happier with the shape of my body.  Sarah customized a program that works just for me.  My only regret is that I had discovered Sarah and the UpGrade Lifestyle program sooner."  Thank you, Sarah! - Susie Abernethy

 
"I have had mild success working out on my own.  What I needed was proper guidance and encouragement.  I found out about UpGrade Lifestyle from seeing Sarah around HFFA and an article in the newspaper.  When I met Sarah, she had a positive attitude as she explained the program.  She showed me the right things to eat and put a training program together that was designed just for me.  The first workout I could barely run 4 minutes and I weighed 274 pounds.  Through Sarah's guidance,  I am running 60 minutes regularly and have dropped over 50 lbs.  On a recent trip home, I went for a run.  My mother saw someone running and didn't recognize the person running.  It was not until I went up and said hello that she knew it was me." - Jason Davis


"UpGrade has changed my lifestyle forever.  At the time I started with UpGrade, I was missing a piece of my personal puzzle for success.  (Sarah) showed me and pushed me to be confident and successful within myself.  I love exercising and am more addicted now than ever.  Even my husband and two sons have begun to UpGrade their lifestyles as well.  Our oldest son, Jake, has completed the UpGrade Lifestyle Youth Program and is on the road to self confidence and success.  I look forward to sharing UpGrade with everyone." I wish UpGrade continued success - Corrine Lewis

    
"My family's experience with UpGrade Lifestyle and Sarah Hart in general has been fun and very rewarding! From the very start Sarah instilled the interest, the education and the overall motivation for me to stay dedicated to my program. I feel that I have developed a renewed approach and commitment to my workout program, as well as a discipline to eat the right things. Despite only 16 weeks in working with Sarah, I truly feel that I can continue on with a dedication to take better care of my body, while feeling and looking better. I would whole heartedly refer Sarah to anyone who is interested in improving their overall lifestyle. Sarah is a knowledgeable, and wonderful lifestyle trainer." - Bill Moore 
 

"I'm finally living the healthy lifestyle I've always wanted. Sarah listened to my goals and customized a program to get me there. She's a great coach who has helped me transform my day-to-day activities including eating habits, rest and exercise. In 3 months time, I significantly changed my body composition and dropped over 13% of my body fat. I'm more active, energetic and focused." - Dawn Chuprevich


"Working with Sarah has been an incredible experience for me. She gave me the education that I needed to make healthy choices about nutrition and fitness. She designed a nutrition and fitness program that was just for me and fit into my schedule. She gave me individual attention and helped me reach my goals. Sarah is a very energetic, motivating, and supportive person. Sarah believed in me when I doubted myself. She is always supportive and encouraging. I was able to accomplish fitness goals that I didn’t know I was capable of and surprised myself along the way. In three short months she has changed my life and I am so glad that she is a part of it. I continue to practice all that Sarah taught me and I look forward to living a long and healthy life." - Bethany Davis

I learned about Upgrade Lifestyle from the Endurance magazine article which highlighted Sarah’s career and program.  I thought that this program might be helpful for me. The whole objective of joining Upgrade Lifestyle was to become a better cyclist.  At first I was a little hesitant to even join because I was very active, I cycled 3-4 times a week and worked out at home, but I just wasn’t improving to the level that I felt I should be able to reach. I was very frustrated in my cycling performance.  I started working with UpGrade in August 2007 and it has been a new way of life and a change in perspective. I am very happy to say that this program has propelled me to a higher level of fitness and health.  Now I confidently participate in many road bike events.  I love to ride in the mountains and I recently completed my first 60 mile ride in just three months after joining the program.  Before I joined Upgrade, I struggled to complete 18 miles! I still cannot believe it!  I could not have done this without UpGrade's support, intense training sessions and nutritional advice." - Libby Becker

"I've always been a person who struggled with having a positive self-image, and because of this, my weight has fluctuated at various points throughout my life. A year ago I was unhappy with the person I saw in the mirror and hiding under baggy clothes. After having two children my body had changed so much I wasn't sure how to find a happy balance. I thought I was eating the right things and I went to the gym regularly but didn't know what I needed to do to achieve the best results. Then I saw an Upgrade Lifestyle trainer working out at my gym one day with a client and was fascinated. I decided I needed someone to hold me accountable for changing my lifestyle or it would never happen. I worked up the courage to inquire about the company a few days later and signed up for an in-home consultation.  We spent a lot of time talking about my interests, eating habits and goals. She found out I had been a runner in high school and took note. She developed a customized nutrition plan and workout schedule, and I began work in earnest in May 2008. The first six weeks of changing my eating habits was hard, but after that it just became second nature once I saw the results. I was given a variety of options including plenty of foods and snacks I liked. My workouts consisted of gradually increasing my distance running and a mix of cardio and strength, core and circuit training. It didn't take long before my body began changing.  I'm proud to say I achieved my initial goal of losing 15 pounds in about three months. My body fat went from 29.7 percent to 15 percent in five months. My muscle mass has greatly increased from 83.6 pounds to 93.6 pounds. I feel like I finally have the fit and healthy body of an athlete and couldn't be happier. My core strength and balance impress even me now. People constantly ask me if I've been working out and want to know how I did it. Today, I am very proud of the person staring back at me from the mirror, and I don't ever want to lose that feeling. I have a healthy relationship with food and exercise for the first time in my life, and I'm considering training for a half marathon in the near future. I've run three 5Ks and 10Ks since I started the program and consistently improve my times. I have truly upgraded my lifestyle!" - Renee Roberson
