training for the mountains,
not the mirror.
strength & conditioning to help you build life-long athleticism for every adventure you choose to take on.
Ready to re-discover your inner athlete?
Being an athlete has nothing to do with stepping onto a field or a start line.
Being an athlete means feeling strong, capable, skilled and confident in your movement.
It means moving without fear of pain or injury.
It means knowing how to use your body and your gym equipment—just like you do with your gear in the mountains.
It means understanding your training and how it translates to your life & sport - not just following random workouts.
It means adapting your training to ebb & flow with your life - not squeezing it into a rigid, cookie-cutter plan.
It means trusting not just your program, but yourself.
And that is some sh*t I want to help you build.
Hi! I’m Rachel.
Strength & run coach. Dog mom. Snack enthusiast. Mountain athlete.
Also? Not a gym rat.
For years, I proudly claimed that “trail running is my strength training,” which worked…until it didn’t. I was stuck on the ol’ overuse injury hamster wheel.
After years of nagging injuries, I finally discovered strength training - and it changed my life (and my whole career).
Now I help women train for adventure not aesthetics - in a way that actually fits their big, full lives.
Whether you're chasing finish lines, summits, or just want to feel better in your body, I’m here to help you build strength, skills and confidence to do what you love long-haul.
