My Mission

I worked in finance for 3 years. One day, I realized that I had a skill set and knack for helping people. I had noticed that my coworkers were gaining weight, losing energy and focus at work, and gradually experiencing pain. Having sat in their shoes, I understood their issues and knew how to help them. Improving the health of our workforce will allow for a more productive and energetic office with people experiencing more success and a faster rate of achievement/innovation. This same improvement in health also provides for a better life at home-more energy to play with the kids, enjoy extracurricular activities, and a general improvement in overall life satisfaction. This is something that I believe everyone deserves and it is my mission to help people reach new heights through a well-balanced approach to improving their health and wellness, and maintaining it throughout the duration of their life.

Small incremental improvements move mountains.

Why Train With Me

I provide an individualized approach based on an assessment and the clients goals/needs. From there we execute the program consistently and adjust as we go so that my clients continue to make steady progress over time. My track record with my approach is excellent, as I was able to keep a lot of my clients (20-30 hours/week) for over 3-4 years and rarely needed new business as a result of this.

My go-to workout

I like to keep things simple. Total body circuit training helps me get stronger and burn body fat.

Healthy food I love

A healthy day looks like: Greek Yogurt with honey, cucumber tomato feta salad, & beef with broccoli.

Healthy food I hate

Brussels Sprouts. Tofu. Otherwise I'm pretty equal opportunity and will eat anything if its tasty.

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!"
