Sara Spinosa — Personal Trainer

My Story

I'm Sara, a New Orleans–based personal trainer who specializes in low-impact, accessible workouts that meet you where you are. After years of helping clients in person, I built my online coaching practice so that anyone — whether you're a senior looking for joint-friendly movement, a busy parent training at home, or someone new to fitness — can get expert guidance from your own home.

My approach blends low impact, Pilates-style strength work, dumbbell resistance training, mobility, and a motivational coaching style. No judgement, just accountability and being your biggest cheerleader — I love getting to know each of my clients on a personal level and customizing workouts that fit each individual's needs.

Client Reviews

Stories from people I've had the privilege of coaching.

"Sara is such a pleasure as our trainer! Her cheerful personality always makes our sessions fun. She tailors our routines to meet our goals and to accommodate any health issues. Sara always keeps her appointments and is flexible with any requested schedule changes. She is the perfect trainer for us and we highly recommend her to others."

— Claire & Derby Gisclair, clients for 8 months

"Before working with Sara I had difficulty being consistent at the gym and knowing what exercises to do. I am thrilled to say I have been working out consistently with Sara for over a year! She is a ray of sunshine who keeps me motivated, keeps our workouts versatile, and is my biggest champion. She wants to help you reach your goals and designs each session to fit you personally. Without her I would still be struggling to work out. Reaching out to her has been such a positive influence in my life!"

— Brittany, client for 1.5 years

"Working with Sara has been the first time I've been able to be consistent with strength training and I've become so much stronger! She's always positive and helpful and is able to make modifications if anything is hurting me. Sara puts together interesting and challenging workouts (but that are accessible as well) and I love seeing my progress. Plus I just like spending time with her twice a week!"

— Katie, client for 1 year

"At age 70, I decided to get prepared for old age — to work on getting thinner, stronger and improving my balance. Sara understood immediately what I was trying to accomplish and worked with me to design a customized set of goals and exercises. A year in, I am fit, down 45 lbs, and swapping bean recipes with Sara — who knows how to and when to push and to encourage, and who has made me look forward to working out."

— Kim, client for 1.5 years

"Sara has helped me tremendously. I hadn't done weight training in over 10 years, but because of how knowledgeable and encouraging she is, I was able to start again without feeling overwhelmed or getting hurt. She explains everything so clearly, is incredibly patient, and truly knows her stuff. I feel stronger and more confident than I have in a long time."
