While playing tennis in Alabama, Rachel learned how important it is to stay conditioned and weight train, not only to stay competing at a high level, but also to prevent injury. Since competing, weight training has always been a huge part of her life, where she found a new love in that industry. Rachel's passion for helping others has led her to getting certified in personal training. She is certified through a national accredited program, NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine).
