A random story on IG is what brought Sarah into my life!  I'll never forget her repost of one of my videos and her comment, "I want to be FireSQFitness when I grow up!" {FireSQFitness was my previous business name.}

I reached out, and we've been friends ever since.

Sarah Johnson is a firefighter, strength athlete, and strength coach in Winston-Salem.
Before becoming a firefighter, Sarah earned her degree in exercise physiology from East Carolina University. While at ECU, she interned with ECU’s strength and conditioning staff and at CrossFit Tier One. Shortly after graduation, she earned her CSCS and began coaching for Mash Elite Performance.

Sarah coached athletic performance, strength sports, and general populations with athletes worldwide while coaching for Mash Elite. Since joining the fire department in 2020, Sarah has continued to coach athletic performance and works primarily with athletes in a one-on-one setting.

Sarah has also competed and medaled multiple times nationally as a weightlifter and powerlifter. Recently she began training for strongman and plans to compete and train for that discipline for the foreseeable future.

Sarah believes that strength training and a focus on overall wellness have carried over to her work tremendously and allow her to perform her duties as a firefighter more efficiently.

So what, now what?

You can never be too strong in a job actively trying to kill you.  Sarah meshes weightlifting, powerlifting, and strongman training to become an absolute beast!
