Fitness Transformation: Sarah Cooper
At Rocky Point Fitness in Coquitlam, we pride ourselves on fostering an inclusive and motivating environment where individuals can transform their lives through fitness. One such inspiring story comes from Sarah Cooper, whose journey from uncertainty to empowerment serves as a testament to the impact our community can have.
From Uncertainty to Commitment
Sarah’s fitness journey began like many others—with a series of attempts to find the right fit. “Before coming to Rocky Point, I kind of tried a bunch of different group classes, Zumba and dance classes, community center stuff, and just never really stuck to it,” she recalls. Frustrated by a lack of results and inconsistent effort, Sarah was searching for a place that could offer the support and structure she needed.
Discovering Strength and Passion
Upon joining Rocky Point Fitness, Sarah was introduced to a whole new world of fitness. “I never touched a barbell. I’ve never really done any work on the rigs or anything,” she admits. Despite the initial challenges, Sarah found joy and empowerment in learning new lifts, especially the deadlift, which quickly became her favorite. “Deadlift just makes you feel like a badass, so that’s why it’s my favorite. I’m like hardcore,” she says with a smile.
Guidance and Community Support
What truly sets Rocky Point Fitness apart is the exceptional guidance from our coaches and the supportive community. “The coaches are great and they walk you through the lifts and all the different machines. They encourage you in class,” Sarah shares. This encouragement extends beyond the gym, as Sarah has made lasting friendships both in person and within the online CrossFit community. “I’ve made some great friends here that we’ve hung outside of the gym,” she adds.
Flexibility and Inclusivity
One of the key aspects that keeps Sarah motivated is the flexibility of our class schedules. “You can kind of come whenever you want. There are group classes throughout the day, not just like once a week on Thursday night. It’s all day, every day pretty much,” she explains. This flexibility allows members to fit their workouts into their busy lives, making fitness a sustainable part of their routine.
A Welcoming Environment for All
For those who may feel intimidated by the gym environment, Sarah offers reassurance. “It can be a little bit intimidating when you come here. There’s stuff you’ve never seen before but they’re really good about teaching you all the moves and teaching you safely,” she says. The welcoming atmosphere at Rocky Point Fitness ensures that everyone, regardless of their fitness level or background, feels at home. “There’s people here from all walks of life. Everybody under the sun. You’re not gonna not fit in if that’s what you’re worried about,” Sarah emphasizes.
A Life Transformed
Today, fitness is no longer just a hobby for Sarah—it’s a way of life. “Being fit is important to me now just for the longevity of my life and being able to do other things,” she reflects. From spending too much time on the couch to committing to five days a week at the gym, Sarah’s transformation is nothing short of remarkable. “It’s just part of my life now and what I do,” she says proudly.
