Sara Baker, MS, CSCS

I have a BS in Exercise Sports Science, Fitness Program Management emphasis and minor in Business Administration from Oregon State University.   Thought I took group exercise classes while in high school, it was in college that I started to really enjoy group exercise and consider the idea to become an instructor.   I took my first cycling class and have been hooked ever since.  I started teaching cycling while a senior in college and continued to expand the types of classes I teach. 

After graduating in 2003, I then moved to San Diego to teach group exercise, coach swimming and play in the sun.  In 2005, I followed my now husband to Winston-Salem, North Carolina where we both pursed our graduate degrees.   I earned a Masters of Sports Studies from High Point University and became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.     I moved back to Colorado in 2007 and have been working in Corporate Wellness Management ever since. 

My love of sports and fitness started young as I started competing in swimming and soccer at age 6.  In high school I started becoming more interested in the training aspect of sports and by the time I started college I knew I wanted to be in the fitness industry.  I am truly interested in most everything related to fitness.  I love the science and nutrition aspects and the profound effect it can have on one’s health and overall wellbeing.I have been competing in road races, bike races and triathlons since 2002.   In 2010, I did my first figure competition.  

In 2013, my husband and I welcomed our first son.  Since the birth of my baby, I have enjoyed getting back into shape and continue to teach at both corporate wellness locations as well as commercial gyms.  When I am not teaching or training, I love to cook, read and watch footbal with my husband, baby and English Bulldog.
