About Me
Hi! I’m Sarah Petersen.
I’m the owner of Splits & Lifts.Â
I like being upside down.
I used to say I’m a former gymnast and coach, but it just ain’t true! I’m very much still a gymnast, a coach of over 15 years, and I’ve since added aerialist and dancer to my list of faves.
I learned stuff the hard way.
After a traumatic elbow dislocation + a laundry list of chronic pain, I became an NASM-certified personal trainer & corrective exercise specialist. And WOW there was a ton of training missing from traditional gymnastics!
My goal is longevity.
Through fun, practical, and functional training, I want to help gymnasts avoid injury––and myself! A personal goal of mine? Keep my standing tuck forever!
Going beyond the gym floor.
After coaching at 5 gyms in 3 states and working with teams, individual clients, and consulting, I realized MORE people needed access to my training. It had to go virtual! And so, Splits & Lifts was born.
Fun facts.
I live in Pittsburgh, PA with my husband, daughter, and two German Shepherds. I’m a dancer for the Steel City Angels. I do aerial silks and lyra. I throw a dang good Halloween party! I have a note in my phone with over 100 puns that probably only I think are funny.
