Dear Exercise Enthusiasts & Fitness Professionals,
Welcome to Rippel Effect Fitness! I am super-excited to get this site off the ground! Due to the popularity of my blog, “Outside the Box Training,” (http://fitprosarah.com) I felt the need to offer more!
I am a Fitness Professional with over 14 years of experience, and I pride myself on the fact that I train clients day-in and day-out. I am not one of those trainers who claims to know everything…I am not a self-proclaimed expert, nor am I one of those “gurus” who sits in front of a computer screen all day making money without any hands-on work with clients. Not only am I happily working with my clients and boot campers throughout the week, I am also training myself. I am a triathlete!
I simply love helping people discover that being healthy isn’t as difficult as they once thought. I have also always loved the human body and its amazing systems. It’s quite simply the most amazing machine known to man. The human body is meant to move. Being able to promote (and at times, even restore) health in those I train is extremely rewarding for me. To me, personal training isn’t a job – it’s my life. I was once said to me “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.” This is completely true for me. I love what I do!
Furthermore, I have come to love working with clients in their homes and outdoors. I don’t subscribe to one style of training, as I feel no method by itself can be considered comprehensive. I prefer to “fuse” the methods I feel are most effective into workouts appropriate for each and every one of my clients, based on their goals, fitness level, surroundings, and unique style of learning. The foundation for each of my clients’ programs is bodyweight training. Once a client has demonstrated the proper levels of stabilization, body control, and overall strength, I “kick things up a notch” by adding tools such as kettlebells, resistance bands, and medicine balls to their workouts.
My clients and myself want to feel and look their best, so they can get the most out of life each and every day. Who doesn’t? Fitness is a journey, not a destination – train for LIFE! Are you ready?
Yours in Health,
Sarah E. Rippel, BS, CPT
