Bucket List Fit Podcast

In this episode, David sits down with longtime friend and fitness pro Sara Saubert to talk about the many seasons of her athletic journey and how each one helped her become a version of herself she never imagined possible.Sara’s movement story started in the dance world, but in high school her boyfriend, now husband, introduced her to the gym. That spark led her to pursue exercise science and build a career in fitness. Since then, she has moved through multiple chapters of training, from dance to powerlifting, physique competition, HYROX, and even becoming someone who now enjoys running, something she once avoided completely.Each phase required her to rebuild her body, challenge old beliefs, and expand what she thought she was capable of physically and mentally. Sara brings a contagious energy to everything she does, and her approach proves that you do not have to be born “built for it” to grow into a stronger, more capable version of yourself.David first met Sara in 2019 when he hired her as a fitness intern at Hilton Head Health. They have stayed friends and colleagues ever since, making this conversation both personal and inspiring.This episode is all about growth, identity, and what can happen when you keep saying yes to new challenges.
