"Working with you has been one of the best coaching experiences I’ve ever had. I appreciate so much your flexibility, attention to detail, and level of care and thought. I have never felt like a number with you - every piece of feedback feels important and relevant for my own unique experience. You have been able to pin point problem areas faster than any other coach I’ve worked with. I appreciate how receptive you are and how you operate from a trauma-informed perspective. I’ve never felt worried or like I’m in trouble (a disappointingly common experience with other coaches I’ve had) and it always feels like my health and well-being is the priority. Having a coach who understands and affirms my gender has been life changing. Thank you for everything you do. ❤️" - A
"Working with Rachel has been phenomenal, they are incredibly encourage and technical and each session I feel like I both learn from their pedagogy and also achieve something new in terms of form or strength. They give cues, offer guidance and feedback and strategize with you to develop a work plan to accomplish whatever goals you have in mind." - C
"Since working with them for the past 2 months, my technique is on point and my lifts are much more efficient. I have PR’d all my lifts within 2 months of their coaching compared to what would take me a year or more at CrossFit. They have the perfect balance and let’s be honest, pure attentiveness and passion, that meets me where I am at and encourages me to grow to best support me in my goals. Their coaching is truly personalized and this is a mutual relationship; this is nothing like the cookie cutter coaching that I have received in the past. I feel seen and heard. Most notably, I know where they stand with their beliefs and values and I know I have an ally in them. I have never felt weird or treated differently as a trans person. I have never felt like I have had to explain my body or identity to them. I also feel at ease knowing they don’t support or practice fatphobia that is absolutely rampant in this industry. I feel like I have won the lottery in Rachel as a coach. Thank you Rachel, you have absolutely changed my life for the better and I am looking forward to growing together 💪🏼" - E
"Working with Rachel has been such a treat. I didn't have much experience with lifting weights & frankly, was intimidated. Rachel's knowledge, enthusiasm, & emphasis on form has made space for my confidence to blossom. They're super encouraging & quick to adapt if my body has different limitations during a session. 10/10 recommend." - A
"Rachel is a veritable volcano of positivity and support. There’s always space to come as you are when you’re working with Rachel…. it’s been fabulous to work with them and through that process not only have I been able to improve technique and PR’s but also they worked into our sessions and training elements that they knew I’d need some extra emotional support with - such as weighted step ups and box jumps for balance as I prepared for an endurance event this summer" - K
"I came to Rachel with a lot of baggage, mostly guilt and resentment, in regards to working out, gym culture, and taking care of my body physically. Rachel is such a genuinely positive and enthusiastic person, they have made me appreciate all that my body is capable of. I actually look forward to working out, instead of dreading it. I realized that I didn’t hate working out, but I wasn’t doing it right. With Rachel’s guidance, I’m slowly creating a new relationship with my body— one based in appreciation and love…that is so much more than I could have thought possible when I first reached out to them." - S
"My experience training with Rachel has been amazing. I have been powerlifting for over 4 years and I feel more confident in the gym now than I ever have before. They are completely professional while also caring deeply for their clients. Rachel is an excellent communicator and very detail oriented." - H
