Sabrina Parr is not your average coach. With a relentless focus on discipline, mental toughness, and accountability, she’s challenging the way her athletes train and think about their own potential. She has a no-nonsense approach to coaching and she pushes athletes beyond their limits to discover what they’re truly capable of. “Well, thank you for receiving it in the way that I was trying to present it because there were quite a few people who didn’t understand it. And I know that I’m not for everyone and everyone is not for me. So whoever gets it, gets it.” Sabrina is on a mission to separate the good from the great. Become a part of the Sprint Revolution !

That was like, you know, a dream.” Now, she’s on a mission to change that. Become a part of the Sprint Revolution ! Get access to our growing collection of workouts, seminars, and exclusive content.
