About Me

SARAH CLARK

A Cardiff based Personal Trainer and Physical Therapist, I offer services to older adults and those with musculoskeletal pain, chronic health disease and age-related conditions. I believe it is never too late to invest in your health, fitness and well-being. My focus is to help my clients to continue to live independently for as long as possible without intervention from third parties. I hold membership of CIMSPA (Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity), the UKSCA (UK Strength and Conditioning Association) and am fully insured will professional indemnity provision.

My expertise lies in creating safe and effective exercise solutions that cater to the specific needs and abilities of older adults. Whether you are looking to improve flexibility, build strength, enhance balance, or simply stay active, I design programs that are enjoyable and tailored to your unique needs.

Education & Certification

Driven by a passion to better serve my clients, I achieved a Master's degree in Strength & Conditioning which has now led to further study in which I am undertaking a PhD specialising in the physiological and psychological benefits of exercise for older adults. I have earned specialist fitness qualifications in the fields of obesity & diabetes, low back pain, parkinsons disease, arthritic pain management and later life training, solidifying my commitment to excellence in the field.

My Philosophy

At the heart of my training philosophy is the belief that fitness is holistic, encompassing physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I emphasise the importance of sustainable changes, fostering a positive mindset, and cultivating a deep connection between mind and body. A key strength is my ability to adapt exercise to account for all fitness levels and abilities, making fitness accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
