Get to know Coach Rachel

About Me:

Hi! My names Rachel and I'm a 28 year old personal trainer and strength coach. I left my corporate job working for the Washington Capitals in Ticket Sales in 2023 to pursue a passion for fitness and coaching. Since then, I have worked in group fitness, physical therapy, personal training, senior fitness, speed and agility training, and more. On top of strength training, I also have a background playing field hockey in multiple different positions all the way through our Club team at the University of South Carolina. I am so excited to be able to bring these passions to you and help you achieve the goals you have!

How I can help you improve your game:

Your game is your game, and the amount you want to improve is ultimately up to you. If you want to work hard, I'll push you to get there. If you're comfortable where you are, I won't force anything you aren't comfortable with. I will never be a coach that ruins a sport for an athlete. I will show you what you are capable of while making sure to still keep the love for the game in tact!

What a typical training session looks like with me:

To me, theres no such thing as a typical training session. Every individual athlete has their own goals and thats where I start. We would create a plan from the beginning and go from there.

Career summary and accomplishments:

Inside Sales with Detroit Red Wings (2020), Manager Group Sales with Washington Capitals (2021-2023)

Certified Personal Trainer - F45 Group Fitness Instructor (2023-2024), Onelife Fitness Personal Trainer (2024-2025), Westminster Canterbury Senior Fitness Instructor (2025-2026)

Best coach I ever had:

The best coach I ever had was a firecracker of a women named Nicole who was my allstar cheerleading coach for probably 10 years. I was a competitive cheerleader from the age of 7 to 18 years old. This women Nicole was the assigned coach to just about every single team I was placed on. She was probably about 5 feet tall and the absolute toughest women I have ever met, in the best way possible. She made an effort to know all of the girls on her teams enough to understand our limits, goals, work ethic, and most importantly, what we were capable of. She taught me how to read a situation and understand the best way to react. Wether its with compassion and understanding, or if it is your job as a coach to push through and know when an athlete can work harder.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

You should know that I am extremely excited to get to work with you and your family!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.

Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.

Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!

We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.

Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.

Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.

  • Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.

  • Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.

  • Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.

  • Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.

Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.

AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.


At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
