"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 her coaching compared to what would take me a year or more at CrossFit. She has 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. Her 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 her/them and through that process not only have I been able to improve technique and PR’s but also she/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
