Stacie’s Testimonial
Coming from a competitive runner’s/triathlete’s background, I was used to having and seeking the best information and coaching I could find. So, when I decided to pursue a deeper focus on my weight training back in the early 1990’s, I discovered Sandra Blackie at Gold’s Gym in Pacific Beach, where I found to have the best fitness and weight training athletes and their trainers in my area.
Sandra helped to create a strong foundation with my form and safety, as well as body part sequence/mix to weight training schedule, which I was able to carryout though my 30years of health and fitness planning.
Fast forward to 2025, in a conversation with a few kids at my current gym in North County, San Diego, I suggested they seek guidance from a knowledgeable expert in weight training, so they could create a safe and productive foundation. I even brought up Sandra Blackie’s name, which led me to the realization that I could use some refreshing myself.
After a quick search for Sandra, how excited I was to hear her familiar voice! That was a few month’s ago and here I am, as if time never passed! Sandra has only grown stronger and wiser in her coaching.
Thank you, Sandra, for loving fitness as much as you do. Your passion definitely follows your Freedom of Fitness mission! “It’s a lifestyle, not a life sentence!”
