Spears Strong Staff Core Values

At Spears Strong, we believe in the power of Core Values, three simple statements that mean a whole lot. Core Values give us the baseline for excellence that we strive for on a daily basis. Core Values represent who we are and what we value, and they also push and remind us of who we want to be/what we’re striving toward. All our staff now and in the future adopt these Core Values:

  1. Foster a Positive Culture of Change.

  2. Never Skip Steps.

  3. Don’t Settle for Good Enough.

    Sara believes we are made to move and have fun doing it! She enjoys helping her clients reconnect with their bodies and find ease and joy moving in ways they love.

    When Sara started applying the ADAPT philosophy to her own training, she found relief from nagging knee and back pain she thought she'd deal with forever, and became stronger and less fearful in her movement and adventures.

    When she's not working with clients or working out at the Spears Strong Lab, Sara enjoys hiking, fastpacking, trail running, or snowshoeing with her favorite adventure buddies, Andy (her husband) and Lucy (her dog).
