About Me:  

Hi! My name is Rachel and I’m a 3 star diamond Beachbody coach, NASM certified personal trainer, lover of God, my hubby and my baby boy!

I’ve always been athletic and have had a love for health and fitness. I received a full scholarship to play volleyball for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and have also had the privilege of playing in China and Italy.

I saw the P90X infomercial one day while I was hanging out with my soon to be hubby. Have you seen one of them? The program looked TOUGH! I wanted to get in shape for my wedding so I ordered it and hoped it would help me look great in my dress! I started drinking Shakeology too…and noticed a huge difference in my energy levels! I would not shut up about P90X and Shakeology to anyone who would listen…I seriously had my friends feel my biceps because I couldn’t believe that they were stronger than when I was a collegiate athlete! Who knew these home workout programs actually WORKED?!

Fast forward a couple of months, I saw something about becoming a coach on teambeachbody.com and getting a 25% discount on all products, including Shakeology. Since I was OBSESSED with Shakeology, I figured, why not?! So I became a coach. I had NO IDEA how my life would change in the next few years because I just wanted to save some cash! 

I finished my Masters program from the Brown School of Social Work in St. Louis, Missouri, my hubby and I moved down to Florida, and I got pregnant!

Things got TOUGH. I couldn’t find a job and my hubby’s business was just starting. We had to sell our truck and ended up having to go on food stamps. I was so stressed about our finances I tried applying for jobs anywhere and everywhere. Even Starbucks. I heard they had good benefits which we NEEDED…especially with a baby coming.  How would we be able to make ends meet with a baby on the way if we could barely pay for our mortgage?? 

I started to really focus on my Beachbody business so I could stay home with our baby boy and we could actually buy our own food. I KNEW the business worked. I believed in my soul it would work. 

During my pregnancy I gained 65 pounds…eeek! I topped the scales at 250 pounds. I knew Beachbody programs could help me get my body back, so as soon as TJ was born, I got busy and lost 65 pounds in 5 months, and then an additional 15 pounds in the next 5 months using Brazil Butt Lift, Shakeology, P90X3, Turbo Fire and the 21 Day Fix. I ended up winning $500 in the Beachbody Challenge for submitting my results!

I was right…this business is amazing and it’s even MORE than I ever imagined. I’m so happy to say that I’m now able to stay home and raise our baby boy, and that I now earn more than triple the income that I would earn if I was actually hired in a Social Work job. I get to work from home, take sweet vacations courtesy of Beachbody, help others get fit and hang out with our baby boy. It’s basically a DREAM and I’d LOVE to show you how YOU can do it too.
