GET TO KNOW SARA ZAMBROTTI.
I’m Sara Zambrotti, a 26-year-old personal trainer, small business owner, and proud Bay Area resident. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I moved to California in 2005. My fitness journey began in 2011 when my dad, who was undergoing his own incredible transformation, introduced me to CrossFit. At the time, he was close to 300 pounds, depressed, and struggling with his health, but through hard work, he turned his life around—physically and mentally. He encouraged me to join him, and although I dreaded it at first, I began to appreciate the time we spent together. I wasn’t an athlete as a child, but over time, I grew to love fitness.
After graduating in 2020 with a BA in Liberal Studies and a minor in Cinema, I was uncertain about my future. Though my friends and family often suggested I consider personal training, I hadn’t given it much thought until I discovered Show Up Fitness on YouTube. The knowledge and success the trainers shared inspired me to pursue it, and I began training friends and family at the park. What started as a passion project has since turned into a full-time business, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the journey.
