I’ve been training with Sarah at Compass Performance for about 10 months, and she has completely changed the way I move and feel. As someone with a history of knee issues (including surgery on one side), I had been sticking to “gentle” fitness like yoga, walking, and the elliptical for 15+ years. But I don’t live under a rock; I know how important strength training is for women 40+ to stay active and maintain bone mass. However, I did very little strength training when I was younger, so I was nervous to start it in my mid-40s with “bad knees.”

But Sarah knows her stuff! Her combined expertise as a fitness trainer with physical therapist education has been everything. I feel like I can push myself to do new and hard things without putting my joints in danger because her understanding of the human body and how to safely strengthen it is second to none. She’s helped me rebuild strength evenly on both sides while focusing on good technique and proper movement. I feel both challenged and safe working with Sarah—a fine line she expertly guides me along. In short, I can’t recommend Sarah at Compass Performance highly enough.

My daughter purchased, for me, a 5 session personal training package with Sarah. Prior to the purchase we met with Sarah and spoke in depth on my physical concerns, specifically a weak lower back due to surgery, and what PT sessions would look like. She was very helpful and thorough, and immediately impressed us with her knowledge and positivity. Each session was preplanned prior to my arrival, and gently increased in number of exercises and intensity. Her knowledge of biomechanics and wellness is awesome! She communicates very well and helped my overall mobility and confidence in what my back is capable of performing. I’ve learned a great deal from those sessions, and I will absolutely continue to use what I’ve learned and continue to improve. I could not recommend her services more! Thank you for everything Sarah!

I am preparing for an upcoming surgery. Sarah has developed a tailored set of exercises that will allow me to strengthen an area of my body that will be weakened by the surgery. I can use these exercises at home and away from home, both pre and post surgery. Her professionalism is second to none! Her dedication towards her clients is genuine, she cares!

After undergoing back fusion surgery, I was bedridden for two and a half months. With physical therapy, I slowly regained my ability to walk and improve my mobility. However, I continued to struggle with constant numbness and a burning sensation in my right foot and leg. Whether I was moving, sitting, or working, the discomfort was always there. Even though I felt better overall, I never truly felt normal.

That changed when I was referred to Sarah. After just a couple of sessions with her, the numbness in my foot disappeared, and the burning sensation was gone. She taught me how to move properly again—how to walk, climb stairs, and use my body without pain. For those who have gone through this kind of surgery, you know that recovery is possible, but being able to feel and move normally again is something truly precious.

Sarah not only helped me heal my back and leg, but she also gave me the gift of feeling normal again. Thank you, Sarah—you make a real difference in people’s lives, and because of you, I finally feel good and whole again.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sarah. Right from the start she listened to me and designed my workouts accordingly.
She is professional, very knowledgeable, and cheerful. I always looked forward to our time together.
I purchased a several week package. At the end of this time I felt stronger and more confident working out. I learned many things from Sarah. I’m looking forward to keeping up with building my strength and agility.

I’ve only been working with Sarah for a month, and the results have already been transformational. I came to her needing serious improvements in tactical fitness—specifically swimming performance, strength, and overall durability for military selection prep—and she delivers.

Sarah’s coaching style is no-nonsense, highly informed, and laser-focused on results. My swim technique has become more efficient, my strength numbers are up, and I feel mentally sharper and more resilient every session. She understands the demands of tactical athletes and creates training that actually translates to real-world performance.

I used Sarah as my Personal Trainer in the lead up to my wedding and during my first pregnancy. Sarah is fantastic. She is so knowledgable and professional.
Sarah certainly knows her stuff, the workouts showed that, but with a smile on her face, we had lots of fun and she got me in the best shape I've ever been in. Highly recommend.

I came to Sarah from PT after a hip replacement surgery. She was very thorough in her evaluation and in her explanation of how she works. She has helped me not only get back in the gym (a basic thing I’d kinda left off for a while…probably didn’t help that hip), but to get back to strength and endurance training, and loving it again. I’m rebuilding my strength and it’s happening faster than I thought possible. Sarah has the PT background and knowledge that puts her heads above the rest and she’s super nice! I know that with her help, I’ll be on the tennis court in a kid!

I’ve been working with Sarah for 2+ months and she’s PHENOMENAL! With her knowledge and experience, she quickly prepared a customized workout plan for me that factored in my unique situation and fitness goals. She keeps our sessions focused and fun, and she always knows the right thing to say to keep me motivated and on track—I’m already seeing results! She’s inspiring, dedicated, and incredibly passionate about helping her clients meet their goals. Highly recommend!!!

I’m 84 years old and I first met Sarah Wilcox at the NAS Fallon NV. Sarah was my 1st spin instructor. After 12 years of spin, Sarah is still talked about in spin classes. No none had been able to match Sarah’s drive and dedication. I’ve had 11 spin instructors and she is still #1 with me. Wish U all the best Sara. Your friends in Fallon Margaret & Ray

I was having real problems with my shoulder but after a couple of sessions with Sarah and doing the exercises she recommended the pain and problems were gone. She also helped to get me mobile and fit again following my knee replacement. I would highly recommend her.
