My name is Sabine Branch. I am originally from Germany and I moved to the United States about six years ago. I’ve been living in the SouthBay since moving to the States. Before moving here I was a licensed physical therapist for ten years. Over the past five years, I have been completing college- level coursework in health, physiology, and exercise science courses.
In 2002 I completed the requirements necessary for the American Council for Exercise (ACE) certification as ‘Certified Personal Trainer’. In 2005, I also earned another certification with ACE, as a Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant. I am currently working with clients in West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills and clients from the SouthBay.
I have always loved sports. While growing up in Germany, I swam competitively for about four years, competing in the West German Championships. I only gave up swimming to take on the new challenge of gymnastics.
I sat for the instructor/ training exam and started to work with young adults and kids. I also earned a certification as an in-line skating (rollerblade) instructor. I was also active in paragliding. After moving to the States, I played collegiate Badminton at El Camino College in Torrance (2004). I competed in both Singles and Doubles and I qualified for the Northern State Championships in Doubles.
