Summary
Sarah works hybrid (3 days in office, 2 remote) with frequent client calls across time zones. She's ambitious and enjoys her career but struggles with work-life integration. Her days typically start at 6:30 AM and end around 8 PM after family dinner and bedtime routines. She needs something that adapts to her reality rather than requiring her to adapt to it - intelligent enough to suggest a 15-minute workout when her calendar is packed, but robust enough to offer a full routine when she has a rare free Saturday morning.
Goals & Motivations:
Primary: Have energy to keep up with kids and demanding job
Secondary: Fit back into pre-pregnancy clothes, feel confident in professional settings
Long-term: Model healthy habits for children, prevent health issues she sees in older relatives
Current Solutions:
Fitness: Sporadically uses free YouTube workout videos (Fitness Blender, Yoga with Adriene) but struggles to find age-appropriate content for her fitness level
Nutrition: Uses MyFitnessPal inconsistently for calorie tracking, mostly relies on "common sense" eating
Health Tracking: Apple Watch for basic step counting and heart rate, but doesn't leverage most features
Planning: Keeps a family calendar in Google Calendar but fitness isn't integrated - treats it as separate "nice to have"
Fitness Background:
Previous Experience: Was fairly active in college (intramural sports, regular gym attendance)
Current Level: Beginner to intermediate - understands basic fitness principles but hasn't maintained consistency in years
Knowledge Gaps: Unsure about proper form for strength training, overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice online
Physical Limitations: Occasional lower back pain from desk work, generally healthy but feels "out of shape"
