My Story

More Than Just Training

Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a Registered Kinesiologist, Registered Practical Nurse and strength training coach and founder of Intisar Fitness. 

I believe every woman deserves to feel victorious in her own body, and I’m here to help you achieve that triumph.

My journey began at 15 when I got a gym membership. I was hesitant to try weights and stayed in the cardio zone. One day I decided to do some weights and I absolutely fell in love with how strong it made me feel.

I have been consistent with the gym ever since and eventually—through a strategy I developed myself, I lost over 80 lbs while maintaining my muscle mass. This forever changed my confidence and made me the person I am today.

Every trainer on the Intisar Fitness team is educated, personally mentored by me, and aligned with the same principles that guided my own journey. My personal experience, standards, and approach ensure every client receives thoughtful, consistent, and high-quality coaching.

At Intisar Fitness, you’re supported by a team built from a philosophy that started with my own transformation.

Sarah, founder of Intisar Fitness, sits smiling in a relaxed, approachable moment, reflecting the supportive and welcoming nature of her personal training philosophy.

A Journey of Transformation

My 80lb Weight Loss Shapes How I Train You

Having personally lost over 80 pounds through my own tailored strategy, I understand the journey from both sides.

  • Science Meets Reality: I lost over 80 pounds using a strategy I designed myself, critically preserving muscle mass to ensure my metabolism stayed strong.

  • More Than Physical: The process rebuilt my confidence and reshaped my mindset, teaching me that true transformation is as mental as it is physical.

  • Empathy in Action: Because I’ve been there, I deeply understand the doubts, frustrations, and victories my clients face. I don’t just guide you—I relate to you.

This journey is the foundation of my coaching philosophy and the lens through which I train and lead our team. It guides how we work with clients—delivering more than workouts alone, but sustainable strategies, genuine support, and a shared belief in what’s possible for you.
