Meet our Personal Trainers

Sara Beckert, M.S.

Sara became involved in the fitness and health profession as a result of healing from a Rugby accident. She broke her arm in three places and dislocated her shoulder. Two surgeries later, she was informed by her doctor that she had to keep exercising to maintain the integrity of the muscles and joints. Rehab introduced Sara to Exercise Science.

Sara was a patient of Dr. Mike’s about 8 years ago. He helped her through some of the rehab after breaking her arm. She was able to complete triathlons, centuries and other active events. Sara met up with Dr. Mike after wanting to leave the hospital environment and try something new. Currently Sara is the Fitness Manager and Community Wellness Program Manager for Physical Synergy.  Here at Physical Synergy, she leads the wellness program for the Westport Fire Department, she sits on the board for the Fairfield Fitness Council; Sara is an adjunct professor for Norwalk Community College in the Exercise Science Department.  She helps with managing the gym and all of our members.
