Congratulations to Sara Hodson, Recipient of a 2020 Alumni Builder Award

Sara Hodson

BHK’02

Sara Hodson is the president of the Live Well Exercise Clinics. She is a celebrated professional in exercise health prescription and successful entrepreneur. Sara has served as a mentor to Kinesiology students, provided co-op opportunities, served as an esteemed keynote speaker, is a valued donor and served on the alumni UBC Advisory Council.

Sara graduated from the School of Kinesiology (formerly Human Kinetics) in 2002. With the chosen stream of Exercise Science, she quickly pursued a career in the final year of her undergrad with Fraser Health as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist in the Chronic Disease Management Programs. Holding this position for ten years until 2011, she then decided to make the courageous jump and open up her own clinic, Live Well Exercise Clinic.

In 2018, Sara was named by BIV (Business in Vancouver) as one of the top 40 under 40 winners. This award recognizes young entrepreneurs under 40 who have demonstrated excellence in business, judgment, leadership and community contribution. Add to this, her company was named as one of the Fastest Growing Companies in BC that year.

Created in 2017 as part of the 100th year of alumni UBC, the Alumni Builder Awards recognizes a cross-section of alumni representing all faculties who have significantly contributed to the University and enriched the lives of others, and in doing so, have supported alumni UBC’s mission of realizing the promise of a global community with a shared ambition for a better world and an exceptional UBC. We are proud to honour this year’s Alumni Builder Award recipients whose generous contributions have been recognized by their UBC faculty.
