My Mission

My mission is to ensure my clients that, no matter what stands in the way, together we will find a formula that will ensure their success with their health and fitness goals. And, while progress is not always perfectly linear, and there are bound to be speed bumps along the way, those obstacles are often what make us stronger in the end, and therefore, more likely to reach those goals!

Never mistake activity for achievement. - Tom Coughlin

Why Train With Me

If a client is a good fit for me, the reason why they should train with me rather than with someone else is because, not only do I have a very strong ability to break down the information I give them in a way that they can understand it, but I can also relate to people who are trying to improve their health and fitness, as I was not always as healthy and fit as I currently am. I played college football as a 260-pound offensive lineman, and lost over fifty pounds after my playing career was over to find more sustainable body composition for long-term health. This will allow me to relate to my clients on a very personal level, even when they are struggling to see results.

My go-to workout

Chest day (weight training), playing pickup basketball (cardiovascular training).

Healthy food I love

Boneless skinless chicken breast, salmon, eggs, spinach, broccoli, sweet potatoes, bananas.

Healthy food I hate

Peas, watermelon, lentils, quinoa.

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

Texas

"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.

Oregon

"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!"
