Meet Coach Sarah (she/her)!

Other than Irish dancing as a kid, Sarah didn’t have an extensive fitness background before starting CrossFit in 2019. After two years doing pandemic-era fitness in San Francisco, she moved to Seattle and found Polaris. Attracted by our reputation as the friendliest gym in Seattle, she quickly realized we were the place for her! Inspired by our coaching staff, she found herself wanting to learn more about CrossFit’s methodology, and transitioned to a coaching role to give back to our community.

Sarah’s professional career outside the gym is as a web developer and solutions engineer. Inside the gym, she is all about developing your physical solutions!

My ideal workout would include cleans and wall balls. Outside the gym, you can find me thinking about when I’ll be in the gym next, sleeping, or hanging out with our members’ dogs.

A really cool experience I’ve had is when a sitting US president bought me BBQ when I lived in Austin.

Certifications:
• CrossFit Level 2 Trainer
• Crossfit Aerobic Capacity
• Power Monkey Weightlifting
• Power Monkey Gymnastics
• NASM Personal Trainer Certificate

✨Member Spotlight ✨
For this week in our member series, say hello to the one and only Anne Marie! Here’s a little bit about her in her own words:

💪Describe yourself in one sentence.
Born and raised east coaster who is guaranteed to cheer for folks whether you’re working out or not.

💪How long have you been a member of Polaris / TPH?
I first joined TPH in 2021; I remember wearing masks to class!

💪If you could go back and tell yourself on day-one, what would it be?
It’s never fair to compare yourself to anyone else - whether they’ve been doing CrossFit for 1 month or 5 years. You never know what state people are coming into the gym with (good days, bad days, peak condition, not properly fueled, coming off a good rest break, etc.) so focus on impressing yourself, not the leaderboard.

Also, you’re never going to believe this, but you’re going to meet your future wife here.

💪What’s your favorite thing to eat in Seattle?
This is really hard! I love all the asian influences out here so any dumplings/noodles/sushi is always a sure bet.

💪What cool things have you used your fitness for outside the gym?
I got really into endurance biking, some mountain biking, and snowboarding. I also have done some Tough Mudder-esque events where my strength has really shined. I also did a sprint triathlon with a few TPH members!

💪If you could design your favorite workout what movements would it include?
Hang power cleans, alt DB sn**ch, and bench press. If bicep curls were a thing in CF, I would add bicep curls.

⚡️New Cycle Alert: Fall Forward⚡️

This six week cycle focuses on shoulder press and back squat strength, power clean and power sn**ch technique, and toes to bar development.

We’ll test shoulder press and back squat in Week 1, build through progressive loading, and retest in Week 6. Tuesday weightlifting sessions feature power clean and front squat complexes, while Fridays focus on power sn**ches. Wednesday skill sessions develop core strength and toes to bar coordination, with progression options for every level.

Benchmark workouts this cycle include Acid Bath, Open 18.2, Nancy, Partner Chad, and member programmed workouts Goofy Pizza by Seth and Killer Tofu by Bee.

Don’t forget: our FREE learn to life and row workshop is this Sunday!

Do you know someone who would be interested in learning how to deadlift and row? Or have a friend who has been curious about trying Polaris?

Join us for a free Learn to Lift & Row Workshop + Bring a Friend Day on Sunday, October 4 at 10:00AM!

This event is open to Polaris members and their friends, and no previous strength training or CrossFit experience is needed. Our coaches will break down the basics of the deadlift and rowing technique in a fun, approachable setting, with plenty of time to practice and get individual coaching.

We’ll start the morning with coffee and time to hang out and meet everyone before moving into a group warm-up and two coach-led skill sessions:

Deadlift: Learn how to safely and effectively pick weight up from the floor, including setup, positioning, and technique.

Rowing: Learn the fundamentals of using the rowing machine, including proper technique and how to row more efficiently.

We’ll finish with a short, beginner-friendly partner workout to practice the new skills learned. All movements and weights will be adjustable for different experience and fitness levels.

This will be a social event first and a workout second. Come learn something new, get a workout in, meet some great people, and see what Polaris is all about.

Date: Sunday, October 4
Time: 10:00–11:30AM
Where: Polaris Strength & Conditioning
Cost: Free

Meet Coach Carmi (he/him)! Here’s a little bit about him in his own words:

I am coach Carmi, I grew up in the middle of Iowa in a college-town called Ames. I started my coaching career at the local pool as a swim coach for the Red Cross and later a competitive swim school.

10 years ago I was running out of motivation to show up to my local gym and decided to try Crossfit. I was instantly hooked on the supportive and competitive community setting and have been doing it ever since.

I became a Crossfit coach because it fulfills me to lead others through a challenge. Health and fitness are a life long journey and I like when I can help people make significant progress.

When I look at a WOD I am hoping to see pistols and hand-stand walks because I put a lot of work in being able to do both. I enjoy the Crossfit Open because of the global competition, so many people doing the same workout.

Outside the gym you can find me outside with my wife, Orlie. We recently went to Carkeek park and saw chum salmon swimming up Pipers Creek, it was incredible.

Certifications: CrossFit Level 1 Trainer

⚡️New Cycle Alert: Golden Hour⚡️

This is an in-between cycle designed to keep things engaging over the next two weeks before we roll into the next cycle. The priority is fun, variety, and staying consistent.

Expect some longer metcons and more aerobic work than usual. Strength work will focus on pressing and squatting. We’ll have two metcon only days each week. Our benchmark workout this cycle will be “Angie” and the individual version of “Written in Stein.”
