Sarah Rainey-Smithback

Dr. Sarah is the founder of The Movement. She came to fitness later in life, seeking relief from perimenopause and to manage mental health, but fell in love with strength training and cardio drumming.

​

Sarah is a Trauma-Informed (Hope Ignited) Certified Personal Trainer (NASM).  For group fitness, she is certified to teach cardio drumming and MOSSA Group Power.

​

Sarah's energy is welcoming, very nonjudgmental, curious, and optimistic.  She loves working with everyone, but as a person with multiple disabilities she is especially passionate about empowering other "crips."  She is obsessed with music and loves finding music for clients that get them in their workout zone.

​

Dr. Sarah also holds a Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD in Women's Studies, and has taught for over 20 years.  She is an accomplished author and lecturer on topics related sexuality, disability, and gender.
