Gym Shorts 

“Gym Shorts is what you want every self-help book to be: concise, practical, relatable, and full of humor. Despite its title, Gym Shorts is not about enhancing your physical wellbeing, it’s a useful guide to navigating life with ease. Full of self-development exercises that inspire mindfulness and growth accompanied by Sarah’s optimistic and witty voice, this is the book to reach for each time life throws you a curveball.”
~ Danielle Kennedy, expert communication specialist

“Sarah Bernardi Carkner proves that a book of life lessons doesn’t have to come from a Nobel Laureate or a Fortune 500 CEO. Gym Shorts is a breezy, joyful read full of humor, wisdom, and inspiration—all from a gym down the street!”
~ David Aretha, award-winning author

“Gym Shorts is a concise, practical guide to living your best life, while also being a decent human to others. Many time, the two don’t go hand in hand, but Sarah’s insights and tips, all sprinkled with humor, allow readers to make mindful choices towards more meaningful relationships.”
~ Sheila Turner, author of Suit Up, Show Up, Shut Up and award-winning dance studio owner

“Gym Shorts is such a refreshing read! While I laughed at the gym stories, I was inspired by the life lessons shared. I recommend this book to everyone — even those who don’t go to the gym!”
~ Beth Carotenuto, Health Club General Manager and Sarah’s work hero

“Gym Shorts is extremely entertaining to read, but also very real. There were mentions of several things from my childhood that brought in nostalgia, but also assisted in making each life lesson stick. Every anecdote resonated. In today’s world these are lessons that everyone should learn to live by.”
~ Ginny Cataldi, athletic coach and Ironman winning badass

Working with Sarah was a tremendous help for me when I was in a dark place and looking for a helping hand. She is immensely warm and caring and has such a pleasant, optimistic attitude that I quickly found that I could not remain in my normal low mood while talking with her; her positive energy always buoyed my spirits. Helping me see and think about things in a different way, and teaching me many helpful techniques for changing negative thought habits and moving out of the catabolic energy hemisphere. Sarah really put into perspective where I was and where I could be, and led me onto a much brighter path.
