Sarah Henshaw
Sarah is always tending to people’s hearts…cardiac nurse boss by day, and always handing out tough workouts at night. She is the best mom we know, and we don’t know how she does it all and does it so well. She leads our Stronger Together workouts, Spartan SGX, DEKA, and Hyrox and she is our Theme Night Queen! Sarah is also a certified personal trainer.
Sarah grew up in Louisa County, went to college at Radford University, graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, and started a career as an ICU nurse in Roanoke. She went back for her Master's in Nursing Leadership and Management at WGU in 2021 and now serves as Nursing Senior Director at Carilion Clinic. Sarah earned her ACE Personal Training Certification in 2023.
She has always had a passion for exercise and being outside! She played soccer, volleyball and ran track and cross country in high school. She has continued to be active as an adult enjoying local road races, OCR races, hiking, kayaking, or bike riding. She has a passion for increasing awareness of health and fitness in our community.
Sarah is mom to Hayden, Riley, two cats - Luna and Pepper, and dog Milo. She loves watching “Mean Girls” for a good laugh. Her favorite pump-up song is “WIN” by Jay Rock. Her favorite healthy go-to meal is a rice bowl with lean protein or a spinach salad with fruit. Her favorite dessert is key lime pie. Her favorite activity in our region is hiking along the AT trail. Her favorite Ferguson Fitness workout? ALL OF THEM!
“My passion is helping others enjoy working out and seeing results. Also, my kids! I want them to live happy healthy lives. I want them to grow up and see that exercise and eating right is not a punishment but a healthy way of living, and our bodies need it!”
