Boasting spot lights, wood-paneled dance floors, and bright walls, Fitness by Sarah is the new women’s fitness studio in town.
Founded by Crown Heights resident Sarah Schochet, an Exercise Scientist and Personal Trainer, the modern studio offers rooms for private personal training and group classes.
The studio aims to attract kick boxers, cardio fanatics, and yoga lovers alike, says Schochet. “Now, women no longer have to search outside Crown Heights for a place to work out,” she says.
Having trained women for six years in the cities of Chicago and Manhattan, Schochet opened her studio after getting married and relocating to Crown Heights over two years ago. With a dual degree in Exercise Science and Kinesiology, Sarah hopes to bring her motto, “Commit to be Fit” to the women of Crown Heights.
“There’s no reason why frum women should have to go out of their way to feel good and live a healthy, active lifestyle,” Schochet says. “I have seen so many fitness opportunities in other neighborhoods, why shouldn’t women of Crown Heights be privileged with the same convenience?”
Chanie H. from Crown Heights has been training with Sarah prior to the studio opening. “I’ve been working out with Sarah for the past two years, and doing so has changed my life. I now live a healthier lifestyle filled with exercise and healthy eating. Sarah has made me more aware of how I can infuse more exercise in my day-to-day life at a time when I couldn’t find the time (I.e. walking up steps in stead of using the elevator). Since working out with Sarah I’ve lost 50 pounds and maintained the weight loss. I went from a size 16 to a size 4. Sarah has been an amazing inspiration, motivator, and trainer to me and has helped me not only look good but feel good, too.”
Mushkie K. has been training with Sarah for the past year and a half. “I have to say that this is a great workout option. Sarah is an amazing trainer! She provides positive motivation and is sincere about safety and fitness,” she says.
Centrally located on Kingston Avenue above Kahan’s Superette, Fitness by Sarah offers personal training and classes five days a week, Monday through Friday.

The human brain is a muscle. If you don’t exercise it, it becomes feeble and the owner becomes weak mind. It follows that anyone against exercise is ignorant and stupid,
Clearly you have not heard of the Rambam and his opinion on exercise.
“Shamor Es Nafshoseichem.”
Time to take care of your physical body in order that your spiritual one should remain healthy. It won’t hurt you to use the legs HaShem blessed you with and actually MOVE.
I like the pics – looks really nice. I am signing up!!
I think if #19 is serious, then the writer is being ridiculous.
Haha! Very funny. What’s SO bad about being healthy? I’ll tell you: Nothing is bad about being healthy. It’s the right way to live. It’s a good thing!
Men, this is terrible! If the women start getting into shape, the next thing you know, they will be shlepping us on power walks down Eastern Parkway. And that’s not all! They will start changing the menues in the kitchen and they will put us on a #@$% (excuse me for using a four letter word and if any children are reading this – please shut your eyes…I am going to write the “D” word) a DIET, chas v’sholem! Oy vay! Soon at kiddushim they will serve whole wheat cakes made from spelt flour! The world is coming to an… Read more »
In chassidic literature it states: The soul fills the body.
Therefore: If you have a bigger body, you have a bigger soul.
As such: Exercise decreases the body which decreases the soul.
In other holy books it says: Making the body work hard and strengthening the body weakesn the soul.
Draw your own conclusions!
After the workout I do my shopping in Kahan’s Superette underneath. Guess what? I choose healthier foods for myself and my family! You see, after a workout with Sarah Schochet, I simply can’t buy the tub of ice cream or those cookies.
Besides a great workout that shrinks my waistline, it also shrinks my grocery bills!l
for those of us who are not on facebook, please…
Sarah, we’re so proud of you! The best of everything! 😃😃😃😃😃
Did you read before you commented.

Worked out with Sarah for the last 6 months, I went down 4 sizes! My husband bought me a 10 package deal and I haven’t stopped going.I go to both the private one on ones and the classes. I am really glad there is finally a good option in Crown Heights.
I just started working out with Sarah, private training and classes, and i can feel and see the difference already!! She delivers a solid (and fun) workout, pushes u to ur max and gives great post-workout advice!!
Congrats Sarah!!!!
i think the guys need a kosher gym too; i go to yeled v’yaldo in Boro Park, but would prefer if there was a place in CH, with similar pricing, a full gym, nice showers, sauna, and about $700 per year – this is yeled v’yalda
I took a bunch of classes in Sarah’s previous location in CH and LOVED IT!!! I lost a bunch of weight and developed much healthier habits.
Every woman should do this!
This is great.
