About Sawyer
​
After 10 years of intensive vegetable farming, and several knee and back injuries, I knew changes in the way I take care of my body had to be made. As a health and wellness minded person I dove into my old high school weightlifting routine and brought out yoga and stretching poses that I kept in my pack pocket for the last 15 years. Both of which only seemed to scratch the surface of what I really needed and wanted. So, I completed the NASM personal training certification to become my own best coach, and maybe someday coach others. The course came up short when cueing form and correcting mechanical compensations, or working with people (myself included) that experienced pain with certain movements. I was on a mission to find the answers and solve movement related pain and increase athletic performance. Finally, during the recovery of my second knee surgery I came across The Ready State who was shedding light on all of my questions. After much study, course work, and zoom meetings with coaches later... I became a The Ready State Movement and Mobility Coach. I was finally able to put the pieces together of movement related pain, que great form for performance and have much more control in taking care of the body's tissues. Now I am ready to offer these services to you!

I started Sawyer's Functional Fitness to help people train with intention and purpose. That means stacking functions into our work outs. Building muscle and expanding range of motion, increasing cardio capacity and developing skills of power, strength, balance, and agility which are all vital to staying strong and injury-free for the long haul.
It’s time to use it or lose it, as the adage goes.
I believe functional training - using movements that reflect the activities of daily life in workouts, is a great approach for building a body to be durable and resilient to whatever you love to throw at it!
