Non-diet nutrition and movement for folks who feel left out.

16/03/2026

If suffering = working hard enough, you’ve got a LOT to unpack my friend!

Movement can be physically and emotionally challenging, but it doesn’t need to be physically painful to be effective.

👉🏼 Find movement you can look forward to.
👉🏼Try movement that makes you feel better after you start.

Need help figuring out what that might look like? We can help! PowerUP coaches create customized movement plans that encourage you to explore movement safely. Link in bio to learn more.

Feeling frozen is human.

Taking embodied action? Also human.

Let yourself do both. 💚

The world moves on (even when we wish we could opt out for awhile). My heel injury is slooooowly healing, and I’m in shoes in the meantime. My brain is distracted and tired, so simple moves feel best right now.

Here’s a workout you can do at home with a couple of kettlebells and/or dumbbells.

For a complete tutorial on size inclusive strength training, join me at Strength for Absolute Beginners March 8 - May 2.

Anything you can do, you can do easier with strength training. 💅🏼

It’s a catalyst for personal growth, confidence, mood management, and literally anything physical you want to make happen.

💁🏻‍♀️ If you feel stuck in a rut, now’s the time to take action. Baby steps go a LONG way, but you do have to take them!

Ready to get started? Strength for Absolute Beginners starts this Saturday. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about safe and accessible strength training. 🔗 in bio to register

💁🏻‍♀️ You’ve got nothing to lose.

Join us March 8 - May 2 to learn how to lift dumbbells and kettlebells safely. No matter your body type or ability, we can help you adapt strength moves to feel good!

Included in the $115 program fee:

✅ 8 weeks gradually learning variations of plank, squat, pushup, row, deadlift, overhead press, and more, all with plenty of options to make the move comfy and safe
✅ short videos with verbal and visual cues of Sarah or Christine demonstrating each move, plus a detailed take home PDF with links to all the videos so you can continue to learn long after SFAB is done

✅ bonus workouts reviewing moves from previous weeks
✅ group chat to ask questions

“Go hard or go home.”

Guess I’m going home then. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great news: you can make progress without pushing too hard. See how far you get on 70% effort before you come at me in the comments. I promise there’s a whole world between “all” and “nothing,” and it’s full of exploration and growth.

Top 5 things I look for in a movement coach:

1) Use assessments that prompt reflection and body cue awareness

2) Adapt movements for all bodies

3) Adapt cues for all bodies/brains

4) Adapt goals and progress expectations for all bodies

5) Create an environment that promotes trust

P.S. PowerUP is hiring! If you or someone you know wants to coach with us, go to sarahpowers.com/movement-coach-position for more info.
