My Mission

I believe in challenging the status quo in the fitness world! I fervently believe the fitness industry is experiencing a revolution in the representation of ALL bodies! I think more people would exercise if gyms/personal trainers made workouts more functional and fun and fostered a welcoming environment! My mission is to provide a supportive, dedicated, innovative and trustworthy community for working moms, working professionals or deconditioned athletes who desire to lose weight, tone muscle, build stamina and/or build strength! I believe in a hand-UP and not a hand-OUT! I live by the mantra, "Look inward, think upward" and aspire to inspire others to accept the silent power,untapped potential and resolution that lives in all of us!

"Look inward, think upward"-Jakobie Howard

Why Train With Me

Unlike most trainers, I'm relatable! I've experienced both sides of the body spectrum. I know what it feels like to be fit and confident as well as know what it is like to be fluffy and unsure! However, with an "I CAN" attitude I've consistently and successfully kept 40 plus pounds off!

My go-to workout

The power and glory are in LEG day! I love a loaded leg circuit workout!

Healthy food I love

I love and have an infinity for Jamaican cuisine! I love that the food is made with integrity!

Healthy food I hate

I just don't understand the hype behind grapefruit!

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"

Peyton

"Working with Kickoff is awesome! It has helped me learn so much about what it takes to transform your body. I have lost 23 pounds and 5% body fat since working with Rachel and I've never felt better!"

Augie H.

Florida

"I have loved every single week of Kickoff. As a busy, working mom, I don't like leaving my home & family to go to the gym. My trainer Jen designs workout plans for me that work with what I have at home. She levels me up in strength when I'm ready & adjusts when I'm not feeling my best. Kickoff is realistic, sustainable & supportive. That's why it's been so successful for me!"

Miriam C.

"I lost 70 pounds of fat (265 to 195) and am keeping it off with Kickoff! I’m now adding muscle and getting stronger! My coach makes it fun and straightforward to stick to an awesome exercise and nutrition program that really works."

Giancarlo R.

Georgia

"I’ve lost 25 lbs with Kickoff and have gained a tremendous amount of strength and confidence. Thanks to Kickoff, I was able to tweak my nutrition & really see a noticeable difference all around including my energy levels. I am finally feeling like myself again!"

Brooke H.

California

"My body fat decreased by 5.3% & is now 17.8%. I lost about half an inch in my waist, hips, and thighs. It's easier for me to get in the gym and complete a workout when I don't have to stress about actually planning the workouts. I love how supportive and flexible my coach has been. Kickoff has become a welcome constant amongst the chaos of everyday life."

Ashley B.

Alabama

"As a mom of 4, Kickoff has been such a blessing to me! Not only has it has helped me learn to eat and how to focus on different areas of my body, but it has also helped me gain more self confidence! My trainer is able to base my workouts off of what equipment I have at home, and I don't have to be a part of a gym!"

Nicole H.

Tennessee

"I'm loving the accountability piece that comes with Kickoff. My clothes fit much better. My coach has been great in helping me figure out macros/nutrition, and the workouts have been great. I'm impressed with how my strength has improved over the past weeks - it means the world. Fitness was a big part of my earlier years, and it's been huge to get back in shape! Thank you Kickoff!"
