Fitness & bikini model Sarah Lin Brockner is more than meets the eye. She may look sweet and while she generally is there is an underlying toughness that is ingrained in her. She was raised by two “no nonsense” parents who themselves had been dealt many hard knocks. She wasn’t raised to feel sorry for herself or dwell on the negative and that has allowed her to accomplish everything she sets out to do.
Her father was a former college athlete and coach who encouraged his children to participate in a variety of sports from a young age. Sarah has a background in gymnastics, ballet, field hockey, basketball, track & field, and softball. She grew up playing on competitive sports teams in both high school and college. After obtaining her Bachelor’s degree in Health & Wellness she went through a patch where she wasn’t as involved in sports and athletics. She was snapped back into the reality that life is too short by a brush with death that came after being robbed at gunpoint. She said she felt reborn after the incident and decided she wasn’t going to let life pass her by without going after everything she wanted. She quickly developed a mentality that she would never be the victim again and being strong took on an even deeper meaning to her after that point.
Fueled by this encounter she started training competitively for bikini fitness competitions and pageants. She used her athletic background & schooling to train herself. She placed second in her very first bikini fitness pageant where she took home her first win the following year in the same competition. She also started competing in Hawaiian Tropics bikini pageants around the same time and was a New York State finalist. She later went on to work on several modeling projects as a Hawaiian Tropics spokesmodel. Throughout her competition career she has placed first in several bikini & fitness competitions but has recently decided to take a break from competing to focus on modeling instead. She still continues to train hard and keep her strength because as a personal trainer she wants to be a positive role model to other woman that strength is powerful.
Sarah has built quite an extensive modeling background. She has walked in several fashion shows including working multiple times for Suite by Jennifer Diederich who is a former Project Runway contestant. Her forte is in bikini and fitness modeling however as she says her look tends to get her the most work in that arena. She has been published and featured in many magazines including most notably Physique Magazine, Hard Tales Biker Magazine, Fast Lane Biker Magazine, Muscle Sport Magazine, Natural Bodybuilding and Fitness, and Modelz View Magazine.
Her fun personality and girl next door good looks has allowed her to also make quite a name for herself as a promotional model and spokesmodel too. She has been the face of many liquor and beer companies as a promotional model for brands such as Fireball, Absolut, Coors, Malibu, Stoli, and Russian Standard. She has also represented Xyience energy drink at MMA events and Axe body spray hosting events in several different states.
She spokesmodeled for Live Sports Video where she was a web girl who appeared as a talking icon to guide people through the website. She attended sporting events to meet and greet athletes and website users of Live Sports Video. Another one of her favorite spokesmodeling gigs was with Lean and Mean Protein Ice Cream where she promoted the healthy treat at local sports based events and stores. She also really enjoyed working with Long Island based Ignition Nation for many years as a spokesmodel who attended events all over New York particularly clubs and motorcycle events sometimes in collaboration with NYC Choppers. She also blogged for the Ignition Nation website and appeared in their print ads and calendar.
Speaking of calendars Sarah is quite the calendar girl. She has appeared in ten calendars so far. She has done everything from charity calendars for the military to raise awareness for PTSD to her own personal calendar featuring Peach Buns Bikinis that she shot in Whitehouse Jamaica with Zuch Photography last year. She loves to travel, meet new people, and is never one to pass up adventure which she says is the one of the best things about modeling.
It is safe to say that Sarah is a force to be reckoned with and that her strength and tenacity will continue to propel her towards success in the future. In addition to all her modeling pursuits she is also writing a unique cookbook which she admits is surprisingly harder than she expected. She has a Personal Fitness Chef Certification and an advanced nutrition background but her sometimes perfectionist attitude has made creating the perfect heathier recipes to add to the cookbook challenging. One thing we can bet on for sure is that it won’t be anything less than her best because if the above is any indication she never does things unless she is going to do them all out.
Sarah currently resides in Florida where she works as a mostly online personal trainer at the moment although she plans on opening up her own boutique mini gym in the next couple years.
