1:1 COACHING

You’re done playing small.

Build life-long athleticism to fuel your big adventurous life, on & off the mountain.

confidence in the gym.

joy in the mountains.

training that fits your real life.

Build a resilient, mountain-ready body so you feel strong, capable and confident in every adventure you take on - and the skills to keep it going for a lifetime.

Walk into the gym with the same confidence you have sending that ski line, slogging up that hiking trail, or lacing up your trail shoes:

Have you ever felt…

  • Frustrated with the “injury-rehab” hamster wheel - you want to spend more days on the mountain, and less in your PT’s office

  • Overwhelmed by all the things the internet tells you “you should be doing” in the gym.

  • Tired of hopping between different programs that just don’t seem to stick.

  • Unsure of how to “balance” it all - strength, cardio, outdoor rec, …and life.

  • Holding yourself back from saying YES to shit you want to do - out of fear you’ll piss off an old injury, or just not feeling “ready”

If you just raised your hand - WELCOME. I’ve been there, and so have all of my clients.

say hello to summit strength & conditioning

Through 6-12 months of high-touch, custom, collaborative coaching you’ll gain…

  • Strength. Gains in strength, capacity and endurance that let you go further

  • Clarity. You’ll walk into the gym knowing exactly what you’re going to do, and how to do it well.

  • Self-Trust. There’s no more “on and off the wagon” - you know how to navigate training when life get life-y.

  • Confidence. You’re the first to text HELL YES COUNT ME IN when the next big adventure idea hits the group chat.

  • Resilience. After a long day on the trails, you’re crushing pizza and a crisp hazy IPA rather than urgently searching for a physical therapy or massage appointment from going harder than your body can handle.

Hi! I’m Rachel.

Strength coach, running coach, dog-mom, regular-mom, year-round mountain athlete. A lover of Trader Joe’s snacks, fresh baguettes, coffee, silly sitcoms and seltzer water.

I found outdoor sports in my 20’s and fell in love HARD - especially with trail running. Which led to YEARS of battling every over-use injury under the sun until I discovered strength training and it changed EVERYTHING.

Sure, I could go further, faster, and feel better than I’d ever imagined.

But I also felt strong. Athletic. Powerful. Capable. Confident. Connected to my body.

And, as a survivor of 90s/00s diet culture - that changed my life - in and out of the gym. So much so that in 2020, I changed careers and went back for a master’s degree in Physical Activity & Wellness Science and founded my coaching company.

I’m here to help outdoorsy women connect to their inner athlete and train in a way that supports their big, adventurous lives.

SUMMIT 1:1 COACHING

Purposeful, personalized programming meets deep, on-going coaching support.

Over the next 6-12 months, you’re not only going to get strong AF - you’re going to build a training lifestyle and the skills to keep doing the shit you love for decades.

Here’s how:

  • No more stuffing your life into a cookie-cutter plan. By combining collaborative long-term planning and regular check-ins, I’ll deliver sustainable training that supports your season of sport & life.

  • Lower the barrier of “WTF do I do in the gym”. Outsource it to me. I literally LOVE this shit. I’ll integrate everything you need into a custom training plan, accessible via a wildly user-friendly app. So you just open your phone and get to work.

  • No more second-guessing if you’re doing it right. Using video analysis, personalized cues/feedback and educational resources, over the next year you will…

    • dial your set-up for all major movements

    • know where you “should” feel each exercise

    • understand basic troubleshooting and “red flags”

    • build a toolkit of strategies to progress & challenge yourself

  • Get your PT off speed-dial Overuse injuries are not inevitable - they happen when our training load exceeds our body’s tolerance. And, that shit stops today.

    You’re not only going to building strong, resilient muscles, bones, & tendons - you’re going to learn how to adapt training to fit your real life - so you finally train CONSISTENTLY.

  • Play for keeps. No offense but I don’t want to work with you forever. My goal is to build your skills so you can confidently transition to a templated program or DIY’it for the long-haul.

Once you become a 1:1 client you get…

  • Build Your Strength Blue Print

    1 hour collaborative call where we map out your next 12 months of training. We’re gonna get clear AF on your big goal, your seasonal priorities and give you a road map to get there.

    Includes 3 month access to the call replay, downloadable PDF, and my mini-guide on strength goals for your season of sport/life.

  • Initial Movement Audit

    App-delivered mobility and range of motion screenings - plus a full lift analysis of your starting point squat, hinge, push, pull, and core movements.

    Includes a downloaded PDF with personalized cues and drills for an immediate glow-up.

  • Custom Programming

    2-5 workouts per week delivered via a wildly user-friendly app - including demo videos, sets/reps/rest, and personalized cues.

    No more worrying about what you “should” be doing - I’ll put it all here for you.

  • Coaching Support

    Train on your own time…with the SUPPORT of a coach. You get direct DM access to me for unlimited questions (48 hr response, M-F), unlimited video form checks (reviewed weekly), and weekly/monthly check-in forms with asynchronous feedback (text/video).

  • Habit Tracking

    Because the small daily ways you show up for yourself matter too - and ticking a box feels damn good.

    Optional tracking for habits that support your goals (protein, 10 min walks, putting your “phone to bed”, etc).

  • On-Demand Resources

    Educational resources and supplemental training (think: extra mobility, travel/no-equipment workouts, etc) available at your finger tips.

    Long haul habits demand flexibility and adaptability - so you’ll find that “baked in” to my program.

  • I’d struggled to balance strength and running on my own - I'd either overdo it... or not do it at all. Your coaching has been the perfect balance for me to accomplish my goals.

    Nora J.

  • I loved the remote coaching experience - it’s been 6 months, I’m feeling stronger and have more energy. I loved seeing my weights progress over the weeks and above all, I was able to develop a consistent routine.

    - Katrina B.

  • Every step of the way Rachel met me exactly where I need to be. I have felt stronger and better in my body than I have in years.

    - Katie H.

  • In the past, I struggled with how appearance-oriented the fitness industry was. I’m grateful that you create an authentic, inclusive space for pursuing fitness & being your best self no matter what that looks like

    - Kyla S.

  • After a year of consistent strength training with Rachel, I feel SO MUCH STRONGER. The difference is remarkable, as an endurance athlete, strength training is paramount to avoiding injury and setting myself up for success on the racecourse

    - Ashley E.

  • I feel MUCH stronger and more confident in my running! I have not only hit my goals but exceeded my own expectations in performance - going from a 50k PR, to my first 50 miler and finishing STRONG.

    - Nora J.

  • I always thought lifting "wasn't for me" - but after a year of remote coaching, my form feels SO much more solid. It's been a gamechanger.

    - Chris A.

FAQs

  • 1:1 coaching is fully customized - so I’ll work with what you’ve got.

    But since you’re INVESTING in my coaching expertise - the more you have access to, the MORE we can work with. I would highly recommend buying some equipment OR a gym membership during our time together.

    I would love LOVE for you to leave this coaching container feeling like you can walk into any gym feeling so confident that you don’t even flinch as you set up your rack, load on the plates, grab some kettlebells, set-up for a pull-up…etc - but to practice that we need access to the things!

    I’m happy to make specific equipment suggestions during our consult call, but at a minimum I would recommend:

    • Light, medium, and heavy weights (dumbbell or kettlebells)

    • Resistance bands (mini bands and “long loop” bands)

    • A sturdy box/bench (coffee table or chair can work)

    • A pull-up bar (door mounted is fine)

  • YES. Videos are required for every movement during our first 2 months together. Simply put, I cannot coach you without seeing how you move. Without video I’m just over here guessing at what’s going on - so I cannot troubleshoot or know when and how to progress without getting my eyeballs on it.

    I know this can feel awkward at first (especially in public) but..

    I promise you it is worth it. You are paying for my coaching eye - use it!

    I promise no one cares or is judging - 99% of folks at the gym are wrapped up in their own workouts or sitting there scrolling through their phones

    If anyone did notice/say something… all you need to say is “i’m taking a video for my coach”.

    Don’t stress about perfection in your videos - I am not judging you

    After that, video is optional but included in your package - I’ll 100% watch & provide feedback for every video you submit - so I’d highly recommend using it!

  • Technically, no. You’ll have access to ALL of your past workouts for a full month following termination of your contract - after that point, you’ll lose access to the app unless you choose to continue in 1:1 or one of my templated programs.

    But…

    You are welcome (and encouraged) to WRITE DOWN or screen shot your program/workouts as you go. This a great way to keep your program for life at a cost of $0.00 to you 🙂

  • You’ve got OPTIONS:

    • You can renew for another 6- or 12-month 1:1 coaching term

    • You can hop into one of my templated programs

    • You can choose to follow another coach’s templated or group program

    • You can DIY it or repeat your program if you’ve written it down.

  • No! Running is by no means required.

    I’ve worked with: runners, gravel bikers, mountain bikers, through-hikers, adventure racers, rock/ice climbing guides, skiers, snowboarders, do-all-the-things’ers.

    If you’re not a runner (or interested in becoming one) - I’m not gonna ask you to run. If we integrate conditioning into your program DO ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE.

    If you are a runner, I’m happy to integrate running into your conditioning plan at no additional cost - including event/race specific prep.

  • Nope! You do your workouts on your own time. It’s honestly THE BEST blend of support, structure and flexibility to train when it fits your life on a given week.

    PLUS…you get REPS IN making time to train and figuring out where it fits best into your routine.
