Personal training that meets you at your comfort level and grows from there. At Motivera in Elkhorn, in your living room, or over video from anywhere.
No matter where you're starting from, you are already on the right path by looking for a healthier lifestyle. The mission isn't to look like a supermodel or a bodybuilder at five percent body fat. You do deserve to like the way you look and feel in your own body, and getting there is absolutely achievable.
We start with a conversation about your history, your goals, what you expect, and what your week actually looks like. Then we build a plan around that, not the other way around.
We complete workouts together while you develop solid technique and real knowledge of each exercise. New to the gym? I'll teach you the equipment safely and follow your progression closely.
The hour together is the easy part. I help you carry healthy habits into the rest of your day, and I'm available for feedback and accountability between sessions.
I've heard it all. We can train at Motivera, at home, in the park, or virtually from absolutely anywhere.
Four ways to work together. Every plan starts with a free conversation so we can get acquainted and walk through your history, goals, expectations, and scheduling.
Great if you already know your way around your gym. I write the workouts, you execute them in your weekly regimen, and I'm always available for feedback and to hold you accountable for completing them. After six to ten weeks on a regimen we reevaluate how to progress you.
New to the gym, or to keeping a routine? Need a little extra motivation and direction? We work together in person so I can teach you new exercises safely, introduce you to new equipment, and closely follow your progression.
You don't need to live near your favorite trainer to work with them. We connect live over video for your sessions so form and technique stay the priority. Works best if you train from home or a private space.
Ideal if you already have a friend or two you want to train with. Groups of two to four. Even at different fitness levels, we work together and I modify for each participant as needed.
Not sure which fits? Tell me where you are and where you'd like to be. I'll suggest a starting point, and we can change it as you go.
Ask Rachel which plan fitsThree options. Pick the one that removes your excuse.
Sessions happen at Motivera, the gym I'm based out of and where I also teach adult strength classes. It's a smaller gym with top-of-the-line Hammer Strength equipment, rarely a crowd, and rarely a meathead. You are not required to hold a membership to train with me there.
If you prefer the comfort of your own space, we build workouts around the room and equipment you have, or the lack of it. Minimal gear? We focus on bodyweight work and my trusty TRX system, which travels with me everywhere.
The sky is the limit here. It keeps you on track when children or work keep you on your toes, or when you're traveling out of town. We connect over Zoom, Skype, or whatever works best for you for sessions, coaching, and questions.
"It is terrific therapy, whether I am angry, stressed, depressed, or bouncing off the walls."
Learning my way around a gym became a habit when I was about 19, in college, while studying theatrical design. I found that I enjoyed testing my body's strength and mastering different exercises, and that working physically made me feel better mentally. I graduated in 2009 with a B.A. in Theatre and Performance Studies, and all these years since, it remains that way. I believe it works like that for a lot of people, and I hope everyone gets to explore it for themselves.
I'm originally from Atlanta, and I've lived around the country from California to Florida. After years of building my own workouts, habitual yoga classes, and more than three years in a CrossFit gym, I earned my CPT from NASM in 2019 so I could officially put my passion for fitness to work for other people. I've been with Motivera in Elkhorn since then, working with young athletes, adult strength classes, and one-on-one clients. I want my clients to start from whatever fitness level they're at.
Everyone deserves to love the way they look and feel, and the journey to get there makes us even stronger.
