Hello, I’m Rachael! A lover of all things food, fitness & travel. A wanderluster. A keen runner. A sunshine worshipper. A self confessed coffee lover. But most of all, movement is my thing and that kind of energy is best shared.
A Personal Trainer, Pilates & Fitness Instructor as well as long haul cabin crew, I feel so lucky to be doing everything I love; taking my training around the world and sharing my passion for fitness with a growing community at 'home' in West Sussex.
As a dancer growing up, my passion for health & fitness has been heavily influenced by the foundations of my early training which gave me an understanding of how to move my body with good technique and correct form, through discipline and dedication. This is important for me; to build a strong body, you must first master the basics. This is a big reason I love to practice and teach Pilates. It's an amazing all-over workout that requires focus and control to build a strong body and strong mind. The reformer machine is an amazing piece of equipment that elevates the practice, using resistance to strengthen and lengthen.
My motivation comes from the reward. I love to feel good, who doesn’t? I love the buzz, the energy, the shift that comes from moving my body. Exercise is an opportunity and a privilege.
My core values:
Inclusivity: Every BODY is welcome in my classes. I love creating a nurturing and supportive space within in my classes, where everyone is welcome to feel empowered in mind and body, inspiring each other to grow stronger, fitter and healthier, together.
Live Authentically: Come as you are, be yourself and meet yourself where you are at. That’s when you will get the most out of your practice.
Keep it playful: Life’s too short so make it fun and enjoyable. I promise you’ll leave with a smile after my class.
Some words used to describe me by my friends and family… inspiring, uplifting, deeply passionate, vibrant, thoughtful, kind, caring, wholesome, warm-hearted.
What will I bring to Studio44? Fun uplifting classes, a wealth of experience within the fitness industry, and an inclusive environment where I hope to inspire and motivate through my passion for well-being.
I hope to see you on the machine! Rachael x
