My Services
Strength Training
Strength Training is a discipline building physical and mental resilience through overcoming resistance. You will be challenged in a controlled environment so you’re better prepared for the unpredicted demands of everyday life. Through progressive overload we will work on stress management for your body so that you can move your body with confidence. This process also improves movement efficiency, reduces injury risk, and enhances overall physical capacity so you can perform daily tasks with greater ease.
Pre and Post Natal
You don’t have to feel like a passenger in your own body during pregnancy. Through learning breathing mechanics, pelvic floor function, and how to perform everyday movements with the integrity of exercises at the gym, we create a foundation that supports mother and baby through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the physical demands of motherhood. This approach also helps reduce discomfort, improve functional strength, and support a more confident return to movement after birth.
Olympic Weightlifting
Olympic Weightlifting is a sport centered around two explosive movements: the snatch and the clean and jerk. To perform successfully requires speed, timing, mobility, coordination, and strength. They are both total body movements that improve your ability to generate force efficiently and secure each catch with aggression and precision. It is both an art and a science, where patience and consistency lead to progress. In other words, you must drop your ego to lift these weights. It also develops power, athleticism, and body awareness that carries over into other strength and performance based activities.
Rewiring
Rewiring your movement patterns so that the body is prepared and confident to take on load moving forward. I am looking to re-establish flexibility with the body and confidence to challenge it. This process can be done in conjunction with any of the other modalities. This work also supports injury prevention and rehabilitation by improving coordination, joint control, and overall movement efficiency so the body can express strength more safely and effectively. Over time, it builds a more resilient foundation that supports both performance goals and the demands of everyday movement.
Ways to Train
1:1 Training
1:1 Training with me offers a more hands, individualized experience. I will support you with real-time coaching, cueing, and any modifications you may need for that workout. Training can be done in person or virtually.
Programming
Programming delivers structured, pre-written workouts that you can complete at any gym on your own time. We will tailor the number of days to fit your lifestyle. Send videos of your exercises, and I will provide individualized feedback and modifications within 24 hours.
Where we train
Train at a Gym
If you enjoy training in a gym environment, we can meet at one of several locations throughout Manhattan, including Solace New York (32nd Street), The LIV Method (45th Street), Independent Training Spot (28th Street), or Fitness Lounge (1st Avenue). If these locations are not convenient, I am happy to explore gyms closer to you that accommodate independent trainers. Together, we'll find a space that allows you to train consistently and comfortably.
I Come to You
If you have access to a gym in your building or residential community that permits outside trainers, I may be able to travel to your location depending on distance and availability. This option allows you to receive personalized coaching in a familiar environment while eliminating the need for additional travel.
Virtual Coaching
No matter where you are located, live virtual coaching allows us to work together in real time. Whether you're training from a commercial gym, your home, or while traveling, you'll receive the same personalized guidance, accountability, and support. Flexible scheduling across time zones makes this option accessible wherever life takes you.
Online Programming
For those who enjoy training independently but want expert direction, online programming provides a personalized roadmap tailored to your goals, experience, and lifestyle. You'll receive a structured training plan along with ongoing support and exercise feedback when needed, giving you the confidence to train with purpose while maintaining the flexibility to work at your own pace.
I train globally!
Wherever your travels may take you, or a major move, I can meet you there virtually for training! I’ve worked with people living in France, Thailand, Dubai, China, and a few more for people who want to keep up training on vacation.
“Rachel is more than a trainer to me at this point, she’s a friend. Her training has helped me hit goals that I wouldn’t have thought were possible. I’ve never been stronger, and she’s been my support every step of the way, helping me overcome every obstacle.”
