Hi, I’m Sarah Vandekar, a NESTA Certified Personal Trainer who’s passionate about helping you achieve your fitness goals and live a healthier, happier life. Originally from New York, I recently moved to sunny San Diego, where I’m excited to share my love for fitness with you.

Sarah's profile lists Nesta Certified and Nutrition coach.
Certifications show what a coach has been tested on. They do not replace a conversation, so use your free introduction to ask Sarah how that training shapes the way they coach.
Every coach at Legacy works independently inside the facility, which means you choose the coach, and the coach builds the program. No membership is required to train with a coach. Coaching is booked directly with the coach you choose.
Sarah's profile lists body recomposition and holistic & mindset as the main focus areas.
Skills and services the profile names: Bodybuilding, Weight Loss, HIIT, and Tabata.
Body recomposition is the goal of losing fat and building or keeping muscle at the same time, so the scale matters less than what the body is made of. It is slower to read on a bathroom scale and more durable than a crash diet, because the training signal that tells the body to keep muscle stays on while energy intake is managed.
Your coach records starting measurements, movement quality, training history and current eating habits, so progress is compared with your own numbers rather than a generic target.
Programs are built around progressive strength work for the major muscle groups, with the load, volume and rest chosen for your experience level and schedule.
Food guidance is practical: protein targets, meal timing that matches your day, and adjustments when progress stalls. Coaches work within their scope and refer out for medical nutrition needs.
Measurements, photos, training logs and how you feel are reviewed on a schedule, and the plan changes when the data says it should.
Every plan is built around the individual, so your coach will adjust this. As a general shape, the first four weeks of body recomposition coaching tend to run like this.
Measurements, photos, a movement screen and a look at how you eat and sleep. The first sessions teach the main lifts with moderate loads.
Training days settle into a pattern you can keep. Protein and meal structure get attention before anything fancy.
Weights and reps start to climb as technique holds. You begin to see which habits are helping and which are in the way.
Numbers are compared with week one, what worked is kept, and the plan for the next block is set.
Holistic and mindset coaching treats training as one part of a larger system that also includes sleep, stress, habits and the way you talk to yourself about progress. The aim is a routine you can keep up for years, not a six-week sprint that ends when motivation does.
Goals beyond the gym. The first conversation covers what you want your days to feel like, not only what you want your body to look like, and the program is built to serve both.
Habit design. Coaching focuses on small, repeatable actions with clear triggers, so showing up becomes the default instead of a daily negotiation.
The free introduction is your chance to see whether Sarah is the right fit. These are good questions to bring for body recomposition coaching, and any coach worth hiring will answer them plainly.

Sarah's profile centers on body recomposition coaching, and clients who seek it often include people who want to lose fat without losing the muscle they have, lifters who have plateaued and want a structured approach, and anyone who has dieted before and regained the weight. The best test is the free introduction: if the plan makes sense to you, you have your answer.
It is gradual by design. Most people see measurable changes in strength and measurements over several weeks, with visible change building over a few months, and the pace depends on training history, consistency, sleep and food. Your coach sets expectations from your own baseline at the free introduction.
Not always. Some people do well with counting for a while, others with portion habits and protein targets. Your coach picks the lightest method that still gets results for you.
Your first introduction and session are free. Tell us a little about your goals and we will set it up with Sarah Vandekar at San Diego.
