Sarah Howell

Owner / Coach, Former Professional MMA Fighter, Personal Trainer, Wife & Mom

Hello, my name is Sarah Howell and I am a wife and mother of 2 amazing children and 3 crazy furbabies! My daughter, Paisley is 12 years old and my son Preston is 9. Paisley adores looking after babies and kids sp much so that her favorite day of the week is Sunday because she gets to volunteer in the toddler room at church. She loves baking, and is quite the little artist. Preston has a love for old muscle cars; an obsession both him and his daddy share together. He loves playing outside with the boys in the neighborhood and his favorite sport is basketball. Both are smart, funny, kind, athletic and perfect little humans created in the likeness of Christ, and I am just doing my best to raise them in a way that continues to support their walk with Jesus. I have been an athlete all my life playing a variety of sports in high school and college. After college I became a personal trainer and started my MMA career in 2008. Majority of my career as a personal trainer and gym owner, I was also fighting and working towards my dreams of becoming a professional MMA fighter. My MMA record is 12-4 overall. During my amateur career, I went 10-2 losing only my first fight and last fight. 8 of my 10 wins came by TKO. I made my pro debut in kickboxing 1 marriage, 2 kids and 7 years after my last amateur fight on the largest stage I had ever competed on, Bellator MMA. I was nowhere ready for this fight, I didn't have a coach or a team and I actually just opened my brick and mortar kickboxing studio, Wolfpack Fitness. My opponent is a world champion kickboxer, her husband is in the UFC hall-of-fame and trains in California with some of the biggest UFC names. I lost this fight in a 3 round decision. I went on to go 2-2 as a pro and was a runner up on the reality TV series The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) in 2018. Over the last 15 years, my passion for personal training and fighting has evolved into inspiring others to continually fight for their health and fitness. It is a grind that never ends and it is worth the fight every time. I have realized first hand that the real fight we are training for is not in a cage, but against life itself. My husband and I firmly believe that the next 18 months are going to be very trying. One of these seasons we are going to look back and ask ourselves how we got through. This is why it is more important now than ever to be prepared for anything. 2AF provides basic training that will not only help you get in shape and lose weight realizing your fitness goals, but it will prepare you mentally and physically to be able to protect yourself and your family if God-forbid that situation should ever arise. 2AF combines 15 minute training intervals including boxing or kickboxing sessions, HIIT strength training sessions and laser target shooting. Working these specific drills consistently, while dedicating yourself to proper nutrition will produce the ability to fight for yourself and your family daily; fight to become the best version of yourself, fight to become stronger and more fit, to be familiar and proficient with your weapon for self defense and capable of hand to hand combat if necessary.
