GET TO KNOW SARA ZAMBROTTI.
I’m Sara Zambrotti, a 27-year-old personal trainer, entrepreneur, and proud Bay Area resident. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I moved to California in 2005 and have called it home ever since.
My fitness journey began in 2011, thanks to my dad. At the time, he was nearly 300 pounds, battling depression, and struggling with his health. But through sheer determination and the power of movement—especially CrossFit—he transformed his life. He invited me to join him. I wasn’t an athlete growing up and honestly dreaded those first workouts, but I soon began to appreciate the time we spent together. That’s when I started falling in love with fitness.
After earning a BA in Liberal Studies with a minor in Cinema in 2020, I found myself at a crossroads. Friends and family had often suggested I consider personal training, but I hadn’t seriously considered it—until I discovered Show Up Fitness on YouTube. Their knowledge, passion, and success stories lit a spark in me. What started with training friends and family in the park soon grew into something much bigger. Today, I run my own full-time fitness business, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Helping people build strength—physically and mentally—has become my life’s purpose.
