Fitness Center Trainers
Sarah Eastman has been a fitness educator for 15 years, with a resume that includes ski instruction, teaching indoor and outdoor rock climbing and rope skills, soccer coach and dance instructor.
In addition to being an ACE certified personal trainer, and a member of IDEA since 2008, she has appeared in several fitness/exercise videos, and has been a group exercise instructor, and a registered yoga teacher since 2001. She is certified in TRX suspension training, Turbo Kick, RIPPED, PIYO and much more.
Sarah believes in training the whole person – brain, heart, and body, inside and out. She will encourage you to transform the experiences you have had with exercise and your body, observe your attitudes, feelings, and beliefs to create change with lifelong results.
She encourages building positivity and thus gaining a powerful connection to yourself. By doing this, restoring the playfulness in exercise like we had when we were children, Sarah feels you will ultimately transform not just your body but your life in the ways you desire.
Sarah believes in a holistic approach which focuses on nutrition first, followed by cardiovascular training, strength/resistance training, flexibility, balance and coordination-- all to help achieve optimal physical health and well-being.
I have been living in Prescott since 1996 to raise my youngest son (which is now turning 26!). I have 2 older sons & a grandson that live in California. I'm a Certified Health and Nutrition Coach and a Yavapai College alumni, so coming back to work here is awesome. I'm excited to be part of the YC team and look forward to working everyone.
I am a retired intelligence analyst and served 20 years in the Army and Air Force and almost 20 additional years in the U.S. Government. I’ve lived and worked all over the world, including Germany, South Korea, Hawaii, Saudi Arabia, and four deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was born and raised in Maryland, but my wife and I lived in Colorado for much of the last 10-15 years where we enjoyed being outside in the mountains with our two dogs, Rotor and Rizzie. We moved to Prescott about a year ago from Pagosa Springs for a little more warmth and a little less snow.
In military service I developed a habit of staying fit and healthy, and have since thought about turning that into a new career as a fitness trainer. I enjoy the energetic atmosphere of working in the fitness center and the positive goal-oriented attitude of the people that exercise there. I also started taking classes in the YC Fitness Trainer Certificate program and hope to have that completed by next year.
I got serious about my fitness journey in 2013 which also happens to be when I moved to the Prescott area. I immediately fell in love with the gym lifestyle and have found what works to keep my body strong. Working in the gym atmosphere has by far been the most fun and rewarding career I've had.
I am from Fort Worth, Texas and recently moved to Prescott. I am part of the baseball coaching staff here at Yavapai College. Working at the YC Fitness Center has helped me to get more involved with the community in Prescott, something that I am really grateful for.
Gwen is a graduate student at Prescott College, working toward a master's degree in Outdoor Education Leadership. She and her dog Odin moved to Arizona from Vermont just over four years ago. When she’s not working, Gwen spends as much time as she can outside, hiking, camping, mountain biking, and rock climbing. She also volunteers with the Backcountry Unit of the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Team.
