Success Stories / Testimonials
Rachel 37 Thornleigh
Over the years I have tried many things (diets, gym membership, home exercise equipment etc) to lose weight & improve my fitness. Consistency was always the biggest challenge. Almost 1 year ago, I started training with Sarah. Sarah brought much needed accountability, consistency & practical advice for my diet & exercise. Having her come to my home, takes away all the "excuses" & is time efficient. My daughter loves "training" with us & it's great to role model a healthy lifestyle. Training with Sarah, I am reaching my health & fitness goals!!!! I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting to see CHANGE in their health & fitness.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for you remarkable efforts and hard work with my pre and post pregnancy training.
You have helped me achieve results beyond my imagination and have helped me re-gain my pre-pregnancy body so quickly. (Lost 12kg and 46cm)
Your sessions are always enjoyable, structured and diverse and you always take my feedback into account. No session is ever boring!
Once again, thank you for a first class job with my training.
Kelly, 37 year old and mother of three
After the birth of my last child I was keen to lose weight. As I had never been a gym goer and had never dieted before I was unsure as to how to get started. A pack of 10 sessions with Sarah Harwood Personal Training (given to me as a gift) was enough to give me the understanding and confidence to watch what I was eating, to properly exercise and train and to ultimately allow me to work towards achieving my personal fitness and weight goals. After 4 months of working with Sarah I have lost almost 11 kgs and have taken 10 cm off my waist and 8cm off my hips. I am almost back to my pre-baby weight, have completely changed the way that I eat, am feeling healthy and strong and am enjoying the compliments from friends and family.
Thankyou Sarah for your individualised program and your understanding of nutrition and healthy eating. I would have no hesitation on recommending you to anyone mum (like me) who was wanting to get their groove back!
Penny 25 Baulkham Hills
My family and I started training with Sarah together to lose weight and make some big lifestyle changes. I had a lot of weight to lose and Sarah's friendly and welcoming approach helped me tackle my goals with excitement and enthusiasm, rather than making it seem like a daunting and impossible task.. Her work out sessions are tailored to suit each individual's needs and while I was training with two others, I always felt like I was doing exercises that were specific to my abilities and fitness level. The sessions are also fun, yet simple and easy to remember which made it useful when working out alone to implement what Sarah had taught me. My initial goal was to lose 30kgs by November 2011 but I have already reached this goal and have now set my sights on the 40kg mark. Along with Sarah’s nutritional advice and unwavering support I am now continuing to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle!

I have been working with Sarah for two and a half years. When I first met Sarah my second child was just 13 weeks old and I desperately wanted to get back into shape. Even though I have been an active and sporty person my whole life, with 2 children under 3 years of age to look after, going to the gym on a regular basis was impossible. I initially only planned to meet up with Sarah once a week for 13 weeks, but the results came so quickly I doubled my sessions to twice a week. Sarah took care of my post-natal, breast-feeding body and skilfully strengthened my weakened knee 10 years after its reconstruction. After 6 months I reached my goal weight and was leaner and fitter than ever before. With new muscle and strength in my legs, my running improved and my arms, shoulders and abs were lean and strong. I can even do push-ups on my toes! Sarah is extremely talented at adjusting each session so that you work both within your abilities and also stretch yourself towards new levels of fitness. In the 200+ sessions we have met up for, Sarah has never put me through the same routine twice. I am still being introduced to new exercises! Sarah is very flexible in both where and when we meet. Even in the pouring rain with a small amount of space to work in, Sarah manages to put together a challenging and fun session. I have come so far, all thanks to Sarah's routine's and support. Deciding to work with Sarah is one of the best things I have ever done to look after myself and my family. Don't wait any longer - give her a call today. You won't regret it!
Sam 39 Arcadia
I started training with Sarah late 2008 in order to lose a few kilos I had put on while undergoing several IVF treatments. I had always been interested in fitness and attended a gym regularly but knew I worked better when I was pushed a little.
Three years later I am still seeing Sarah once a week and she is still pushing me! Although I reached my weight loss goal fairly quickly, having regular training sessions enables me to build and develop strength in my upper body (where I have always been weakest) and increase and maintain muscle mass in my lower body. Most recently Sarah has been helping me develop core strength in order to assist me with my competitive sport of dressage.
Sarah has introduced me to a whole range of different cardio and weight-based exercises including boxing, which I had never done before (and now secretly like a lot). Under Sarah’s guidance and encouragement I have also started running, which again is something I never thought I could really do.
Sarah has also helped my husband, who is a black belt in karate, train for his karate grading. Under Sarah’s training he fine tuned his fitness and sailed through his grading. His fellow black belts were impressed enough with his new stamina to ask him what he had been doing!
Sarah is very reliable and flexible, and her cheerful personality makes the sessions go very quickly (except for when we do the beep test…). I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a personal trainer.
Meredith 29 Baulkham Hills
I trained with Sarah two days a week for 45minutes. Sarah offered me a variety of different session from weights to cardio and to my favourite boxing. She would tolerate my constant nagging and complaining and push me that little but harder every session. She even helped me with my diet by giving me nutriton advice and starting me with a food diary .Sarah brought her bright bubbly self to every session and created an atmosphere that you wanted to work out in.
Since starting with Sarah I lost an amazing 23kgs over 2 years. I now have the energy and motivitiaon and confidence to do anything. Sarah helped me with my first City to Surf in 2009 and then helped me with my 100km Oxfam walk last year. Sarah is a very positive person who makes you believe in yourself and will help you in achieveing your goals. I was so lucky to find Sarah and believe that if you want to make a change to your lifestyle this is the lady that will get you there.
Kate 28 Marsfield
I started training with Sarah in January 2009 for 18months. Initially, I signed up for the ten sessions, seeing Sarah twice a week. The reasons for starting was to lose some of the unwanted weight that I had gained over the years and also get to a suitable level of fitness prior to commencing training for representative netball.
After the first five weeks, I was completely addicted and 12 months later, I’m still enjoying the two sessions a week with Sarah MINUS 15kgs! The positive influences that the sessions have had on my life are astounding. Not only have I successfully lost weight, my sleeping patterns are better and energy levels are higher so I’m finally able to keep up with my 5-yr old daughter. Probably the most rewarding achievement is that I can now run and keep up with the rest of my netball team during fitness training. I’m no longer the last one to finish.
No two sessions are the same with Sarah. Somehow, she manages to make the sessions fun and most of the time - you don’t realise just how hard you are pushing yourself (until the next day!). Her knowledge goes beyond just fitness, often giving out very useful nutritional tips and websites to check out. I would recommend Sarah to anyone and everyone who was looking for a qualified personal trainer.

Sarah has been training me at my home for the last 4 years.
I had exercised very little for most of my life - always thinking I was too busy with work and family.
After I retired from work, I joined a gym for a year but it was not a great success ( I found driving to and fro rather a waste of time!)
After setting up some basic equipment in my garage, Sarah started to come once a week for an hour which is perfect for me.
She started out with a daily program and it has evolved for me over the years to be mainly cardio and stretching when on my own but concentrating more on weights, boxing and circuits during my session with Sarah.
I have lost several kilograms but I am especially happy with my greatly improved level of fitness and my relatively toned body.
Sarah has motivated me to exercise almost every day. I feel frustrated if I miss even miss one day! When planning holidays, I try to ensure there is a gym available.
Sarah has the ability to vary the sessions so they are never boring. She always has helpful advice when I have the occasional minor ache or pain and has a special interest in Nutrition.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah Harwood as a personal trainer.
Amanda 31 Northmead
"I needed a personal trainer as I didn't have the time or motivation to be working out myself. I dreaded the experience until I met Sarah. Unbelievably she read me like a book. Knew when i could push harder and when I needed a break. Sarah has the all to rare ability to NEVER run the same session twice. Each time it was different and still achieving all my goals. This girl is fantastic. I now love exercising and I thank her for reigniting my passion for a healthy lifestyle."
Ben 36 Kellyville
I started personal training with Sarah to gain motivation in weight lose for myself, to tone and gain muscle in my upper body. I also needed more energy to run around after my 2 young daughters. In that period of around 18 months I lost 12kgs and my confidence lifted & my motivation was back. I felt great when I went out and people commented on my body shape and weight loss which was really rewarding. Sarah was a great trainer. Very motivating, supporting & really pushed you along. Her wealth of knowledge in the fitness industry really showed she loves her work. I felt Sarah brought the best out of me and focused on the end result that I needed to achieve. I thank you Sarah for all your hard work & support that made me achieve the goal weight and have a happier family life style.

“A Big Thank you to Sarah”
I've been working with Sarah Harwood for 12months and have seen amazing results in that time. I have never felt stronger or healthier. Sarah is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm she brings to every session. Her easy going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Sarah makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly enjoyable. She also places a high value on correct form with each exercise. She motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results. I have incredible energy, my balance and flexibility have improved immensely and I've got great new muscles. If you are serious about changing your life for the better, Sarah will lead you every step of the way. Thank you Sarah- you are the best!"
Simmy 39 Seven Hills
I was prompted to seek a personal trainer in the first instance because I had a goal of joining the New South Wales Police Force, and was going through the recruitment process. I had started an exercise program myself at home prior to hiring Sarah and didn't think my training regime was sufficient, so I wanted specific and professional advice in relation to my training and how I could achieve my goal of passing the physical fitness test for New South Wales Police.
I had never had a personal trainer before so it was a new experience for me, I didn't know what to expect or what I could achieve, whether I would like it or not and whether it would suit me and fit in with my lifestyle as a mother of a young child. I found that I liked it from the outset, I loved the encouragement, personal one-on-one attention, encouragement, help and advice, I liked being shown how to do new exercises and trying and doing new exercises in sessions, so I loved the variety in the sessions in terms of learning new things.
I really appreciated my trainer's encouragement, flexibility and understanding. I loved her willingness to introduce new things and work with me on specific, personal goals (ie police fitness test), at the local oval. Sarah was very friendly, likeable and approachable and I would recommend her to other clients. I did achieve my goal of passing the police fitness test and this was immensely satisfying to me.
