Sara McLaughlin joins the team as a CF Level 1 Trainer (CF-L1), Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer (AIT), and Physical Therapist (MSPT) with over 20 years of experience working with individuals of all ages and limitations, including children with limb loss and limb difference, and has a background in orthopedics and neuro PT.

Sara coaches at Daybreak CrossFit in Wayland, provides skilled PT in a Skilled Nursing Facility, and works as a certified Massage Therapist. On top of all of this amazing background and experience, as the mother of a child with a congenital limb difference/amputee, Sara has a personal connection to adaptive training.

From Sara herself about why FtF and adaptive training: “The confidence and independence that can be gained through fitness can be life changing. I appreciate that FtF is filling a gap for people between ending therapy and being able to maximize their potential and reaching their goals for fitness, recreation and life, not what insurance companies have declared to be enough.”

Fallon joins the team with a background ready to train, with her BS in Exercise Physiology from Florida State University and her Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from MGH Institute of Health Professions. She is a dedicated physical therapist at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, specializing in the treatment of both neurological and orthopedic disorders.

Fallon has a background as a competitive swimmer and has over six years of CrossFit experience. Fallon also has spent time working with adaptive athletes, both in wheelchair basketball and rugby, as well as the Special Olympics. She integrates her passion for fitness and training as an Adaptive & Inclusive trainer (AIT) into her rehabilitation approach, and her physical therapy background into her training in the gym, empowering athletes to achieve their goals. Outside of work, Fallon enjoys hiking, baking, and spending quality time with family and friends.
