Sarah Shortt

Sarah has been in the fitness industry for over 15 years.

She began her career working in television drama in her home country of England. While working in the script department on 'Coronation Street', she began teaching group fitness as a hobby and realized she wanted to make fitness her career.

Known as the "smiling assassin" for her friendly - yet effective - style of motivation, Sarah is an empathetic coach. She lives by her mother's words, "Never stop moving", and firmly believes that exercise should be fun!

Outside of training, Sarah has worked for Les Mills International since 2013, involved in fitness research, writing fitness articles, and developing education for instructors around the globe. She is obsessed with the "why" around movements, and is dedicated to helping people move with great technique.

When she's not on the gym floor, you can find her teaching CEREMONY, LES MILLS GRIT, BODYPUMP or BODYATTACK, working on her novel, or curled up with a coffee and a book!
