Biography

Sarah’s Early Life

Sarah Godfrey’s life has been based in Dublin, Ireland ever since she was born in February 1993. Throughout her childhood, taking part in sports was something that Sarah was never really interested in.

However, hockey became a sport that she frequently played during her high school years. Despite this, Sarah failed to show potential in the sport. As a result, she eventually decided to give hockey up for good.

Instead, Sarah turned her attention to working out in the gym. However, Sarah was lacking in fitness knowledge. Because of this, she had no idea what she was doing and struggled to find a training routine that worked for her.

But then one day, matters were made far worse. It was at this point, Sarah’s dad unfortunately passed away. This was a devastating blow to Sarah, and from then on, her life commenced on a downward spiral.

Coping With Her Loss

As a way to cope with the loss of her father, Sarah began to eat unhealthy foods on a regular basis, paying little to no attention to her fitness and overall well-being. Consequently, she began to gain weight – causing her self-confidence to fall to an all time low. Until one day, that all began to change.

It was at this point, Sarah realized that she needed to do something to overcome her low self-esteem. From then on, she became determined to live her life in a positive way, while in the process, build a great physique.

From this moment onward, Sarah found herself a job in a gym, and started to move on with her life. Soon after this, she began to workout with a personal trainer – ensuring that she followed the right path to reach her fitness goals.
