"I’ve had the privilege to work alongside Sarah for years and her knowledge in movement and skill progression is elite. She prioritises the students and has a beautiful ability to make each athlete feel seen, heard and special. I’ve witnessed nothing but encouraging and positive behaviours from Sarah as a coach, mentor and program planner, and with her passion, experience and wealth of knowledge, your kids will have an incredible experience at Glad Movement."
My boys have been fortunate enough to be coached by Sarah only a handful of times a year for approximately five years,(regrettably due to living so far away).
From the first time they met Sarah, they couldn’t wait until the next session finally came around. Sarah has been an important part of their Ninja journey.
Sarah‘s bubbly energy is infectious. Partnered with her mentoring, experience and perspicacious knowledge. Sarah breaks down movements and almost instantaneously improves on the individual skills.
You can clearly see Sarah‘s passion as she empowers people, and gets the best out of those that she Coaches to help them achieve their goals.
How fortunate for the community to have this amazing human, who is now also fulfilling her dreams in opening her own Gym.
We wish you all the very best in your new venture - Glad Movement.
Hey Sarah
Just wanted to thank you for being amazing with my kids ❤️
With Leon being on spectrum we went through a lot of judgement in previous sports with coaches constantly trying to fit him in the same box as other kids which ended up with Leon absolutely hating going to trainings and never engaging,he couldn't follow instructions,we tried soccer ,kickboxing, swimming and ninja at other place and i needed to beg him to go to trainings.
Very similar situation with Nia, she is always talking and gets distracted very easily, she is very confident and usually previous trainers had trouble with getting her to follow any instructions so i would pay for trainings for her to walk all over the coaches.
Then we found you 😇
You truly understand that not every child operates the same way.
Leon and Nia respect you so much and would never do anything to disappoint you.You let Nia ask a million questions while you make her work hard too.And you get that Leon needs constant directions from you.
They want to train every single day, and one day, I missed the training they were mentioning it for 4 days straight (how dare I) lol
You created something truly amazing at the Glad movement, and its not just a business, your team is amazing!
I always recommend you guys because I want other kids that are like mine to also feel that they "fit in" and "belong"
Thank you so much 💓
Our 3 children aged 6,8 and 10 have been training with Glad Movement for the last 6 weeks and already all three have gained in confidence.

I wouldn’t hesitate to tell everyone to bring their children to Glad Movement, Sarah is dedicated to her coaching and will inspire and challenge any child to their best potential all whilst having fun.
