Welcome to Vibe & Thrive Fitness, where passion meets purpose, and wellness becomes a vibrant journey. Meet our founder, Sarah-Turan Jean, a born and raised Richmond, Virginia native with a unique story that weaves the worlds of acting and fitness into a dynamic tapestry. Sarah’s journey began at the renowned Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, where she first caught the acting bug and received her high school diploma in Theatre and Performing Arts. Eager to refine her craft, she crossed the Atlantic to study drama at the Birmingham School of Acting in the UK.

The bright lights of Los Angeles beckoned, and she completed her degree at Mount Saint Mary’s University, graduating Magna Cum Laude while pursuing her acting dreams. Amid the hustle of Hollywood, Sarah discovered a new love — fitness. Determined to blend her passions, she pursued and successfully obtained her NASM certification. Her journey led her to Show UP Fitness West Hollywood, where she interned and earned her Certified Personal Trainer certificate under the mentorship of Chris Hitchko, the founder of Show UP Fitness. With a year at Equinox West Hollywood and nearly two years at UCLA Sports Center, Sarah honed her skills and found her niche — helping individuals shed pounds and build strength, particularly those intimidated by the gym environment. She envisions a fitness space where everyone feels welcome and embraces their right to a healthy body and optimal health.

But Sarah’s journey doesn’t stop there. Balancing her dedication to fitness, she continues to pursue her acting career and is currently enrolled in Meisner Training. Her talents have graced a nationally streamed TV program, earning her SAG eligibility.

Driven by a desire to bring her unique energy to personal fitness journeys, Sarah founded Vibe & Thrive Fitness.

Here, she invites you to join her in celebrating strength, embracing wellness, and making each heartbeat resonate with the rhythm of a healthier, happier life.
