Meet the owner

Hi! I’m Sarah, an extremely driven and passionate personal trainer and nutrition coach based out of Urbana, OH. With over 11 years experience in the business, I have coached over a thousand women and men to become the best versions of themselves.

I originally pursued fitness in the spring of 2013 immediately following graduation from The Ohio State University. I was an athlete and performer through my high school career and starting college I gave up a lot of the things that made me “me” in order to work and study. I struggled to find fulfillment, which led to a downward spiral of depression and anxiety. I found myself again through fitness and fell so in love with how my body and mind felt I knew I had to help others achieve the same.

I originally got certified in 2013 and began personal training at a private gym in Springfield, OH called The Fitness Cellar. In 2015, I moved back to Columbus, OH and went fully independent at a gym called Training Grounds. My career began taking off- my client roster was overflowing, I was fitness modeling, and began doing bikini competitions. I did this until 2018 when I got the itch for something new again. I decided to move my entire business online and began doing online programs, coaching, and challenges. This allowed me to travel and I moved to San Diego, California. After years of traveling and working online, I made it back home to Ohio in 2021 and began training in person again at a private studio called Evergreen Fitness where I trained until I bought the gym.

While owning a gym wasn’t on my bingo card for 2024, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to own and improve this incredible space you all have called Pulse Fitness. With the transformation into Iron Ritual Gym I hope I can continue to earn your trust that I love this place as much as you do and only want to see it improve and grow.
