Sarai D. Jones
Founder and Owner of the "Booty Boot Camp"
"I believe that most "women's only" workouts play down what we as women are truly capable of doing. It is my mission to show you just how awesome you can be…if you let me push you!"
Sarai Jones is fast becoming one of the leading health and wellness experts in the Elk Grove, Natomas and Livermore areas.
As a motivator and role model, Sarai has a unique connection with her clients that stems from her own personal journey toward wellness. Before she began her career as a fitness professional, Sarai struggled with her own weight. She was determined to reach her goals – and through dedication and hard work, she did.
Books, DVDs, meal programs – Sarai plans to have them all covered. She is currently working on her first book which she hopes will be released in 2010. She is also collaborating with a registered dietitian to create a meal plan that will offer a truly unique way for women to plan their nutritional weeks.
Each week, Sarai not only coaches the Elk Grove Booty Boot Camp, but she also volunteers at a local assisted living center to help the elderly stay fit. She does numerous public speaking engagements each month and also hosts her very own live web show for the ladies of Booty Boot Camp. In addition, she supervises and runs the Livermore branch of her company with the help of her trainers.
Sarai is set to begin her second year in business this February (although she has been a trainer for over 10 years), and will also be teaming up with a top Orlando fitness professional to launch her very own national boot camp challenge.
Sarai has a strong view on the turn women's fitness has taken in the last several years. “I believe that most "women only" workouts play down what we as women are truly capable of doing. It is my mission to show you just how awesome you can be…if you let me push you!". Sarai firmly believes that fitness is a whole-life approach. She stresses to her clients the need to embrace the mental and physical side of getting fit. Sarai says “You can get results by focusing just on the workouts and diet alone, but you won’t keep them. It’s never just about the food, it’s never just about being lazy. You have to get your mind in the game”.
By combining a unique combination of a tough no-babying approach to workouts with a supportive empowering environment, Sarai motivates the ladies she works with to clearly define their personal goals both physically and beyond.
The company's motto is, "When Average Is Not Enough!" It is inspired by Sarai’s own belief that women do not have to settle for being the "average" mom, wife, 30-something, 40-something, etc.. Additionally, Sarai believes that women have grown tired of the lies that are pumped out daily by supplement companies and infomercials that promise results overnight only to leave countless women discouraged in the end. “When women are tired of the average workouts they are getting from their local gym trainer or out of a fluff filled magazine, they come to me”.
Sarai was born in Livermore California and raised in Dublin. She now lives in Sacramento with her husband of 12 years –Darrell, her 2 cats – P.J and Lucy and her 2 dogs – Freddie and George. She loves having some of her family close by although half of her family is in the bay area. When she can get away she enjoys traveling and loves to entertain.
Tamar Solomon
Livermore Personal trainer and
coach of the Livermore Booty Boot Camps
“I can’t go home with you so pay attention to your nutrition and stay active. Why get your butt kicked in boot camp then go have pizza?!”
Tamar Solomon is the Livermore instructor for the Booty Boot Camps. She brings something special to the program as the “mommy” of the group. But that doesn't mean she'll go easy on you. Hard core is her favorite phrase!
Tamar is no stranger to weight loss struggles and the frustrations many new moms face in getting their pre-baby body back. “Being small is not in my genetics, there is no maintenance for me. I have to work hard to stay fit every day. Especially since having my son. Not only did I have to get off 40lbs of baby weight, but now being busier than ever, I have to make the time to keep it off and stay fit. If I sat back and did nothing I would weigh 300 hundred pounds!”
When asked what her favorite thing is about teaching Booty Boot Camp she states:”Every single woman comes into camp on the first day of class telling me what she can't do(like push-ups). I just listen and tell them, just wait, you will. And when that day comes I couldn't be more proud! I absolutely love the strength and fitness side of what I do. It gets me so excited when one of my campers starts knocking out 10 hard core “guy” push-ups like it's nothing. Of course I love it when they loose weight as well, but I truly believe that if you take your focus of off your weight especially in the beginning, and focus on your fitness goals instead, you will want to go to the max and weight loss is bound to follow”.
This Livermore personal trainer has always had an interest in fitness. She sometimes spent hours at the gym with her friends when she was a young child just to be around the atmosphere of fitness. As an adult and fitness professional she is constantly looking to learn new things that she can apply not only in her own fitness routines but also in those of her clients. She counts boxing as one of her all time favorite ways to get in a great workout and plans to add the Southeast Asian martial art of Muay Thai to the mix this year.
Tamar was born in Fremont California and has lived in Livermore since the age of 5. Her top priority is spending time with her husband and son. “My Son has been around fitness and training since day one. He squats, does push-ups and even has his own dumbbells!” Tamar also loves to be outside and especially enjoys walking and hiking. She loves to cook and loves to burn it off with dancing!
