With me traveling a lot for work it was important for me to find someone with a flexible schedule and online. I am so happy I found you! You've kept me accountable and I love your no-nonsense approach. I'm feeling more in control of my own life now than ever! Thank you!

I went to Rachelle's Zumba class 6 years ago, kicking and screaming because I didn't think I could do it. I was hooked from the first class and never miss a class if I can help it. Rachelle is a beautiful person, inside and out. She makes people feel comfortable and she truly cares about everyone. I've seen her blossom over the years as she expanded her services to include nutrition and wellness. She issues periodic challenges to help keep us inspired and motivated. We've become more than a class; we're a family and we love to welcome new people. I'm 70 years old and if I can do it, you can too. More...

Great local gym with very friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Their prices are on the website, but they offer month to month memberships with classes and equipment access or just equipment use only.
No major frills, but the machines are in good working order and they have all make muscle groups. They also have a free-weight squat press and bench, a rack of dumbbells, and some cardio equipment.
Overall a great local gym, especially if you live near Mt. Lookout square.

I've been working out with Rachelle as my personal trainer since January of this year and I think she is the BEST! Â She is so encouraging and knows just how much to increase the intensity as my body gets stronger. Â She tracks my measurements and I have been very pleased to see positive changes in my body and health. I plan to continue working out with her as long as she will let me! More...

Zumba is a fun way of working out and with instructor Rachelle it's even more fun! She has a unique way of making her classes challenging yet not too complicated. I've been to few other zumba classes around but I stuck with RJ for the last year. For one thing, she's very friendly and makes you feel comfortable even when you first start and you think you're not doing as good as the rest of the class. She keeps sending those positive vibes throughout the class that encourage you to keep working.Her music choices are great, mostly a mix of Latin music but she also adds a little from the new hits and some international like belly dance and Bollywood.Rachelle has different classes like zumba toning which is my favorite now you easily burn out tons of calories and get your muscles toned at the same time. she also has zumba gold and she's been promoting for her body-sculpt bootcamp for a while now. I've never tried her bootcamp but will probably give it a try some time soon especially with the offers she has on it. and speaking of offers, follow her on facebook to keep an eye on the deals, punch card giveaways and free public classes she offers every now and then. her classes take place in different locations but I usually go to the Oakley community center since it's closer to where I live. my only complaint is that since her classes are becoming more popular, it gets packed at some peak times so she really needs to open more classes especially for the zumba toning class!RJ fitness zumba is totally recommended it's fun, healthy and you get to meet a lot of cheerful and happy ladies there :-) More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
After an initial deep dive consultation, I assist my clients in achieving their weight loss goals by implementing a well rounded plan of action or strategy. This means my approach is multi-dimensional. Not only do I focus on nutrition or fitness but also include other pillars of life such as sleep and mindset as part of my clients package.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
The secret to getting the body of your dreams is consistency!
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is being able to witness actual transformations take place. These transformations come in the form of weight loss, muscle definition, increased confidence, energy, and a new found zest for life.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Inspiration to start my own business came thru a series of things that compelled me to give up my career. Having the ability to shape my company into something that I was proud of and that would impact other peoples lives in a very positive life changing way was most inspiring.
Why should our clients choose you?
I should be your personal trainer if you are looking to partner with someone that has the knowledge, understanding, and skills to help you reach your fitness goals and gain results!
I have trained and coached dozens and dozens of satisfied professional women, stay at home moms, working moms, and top level executives who have experienced awesome transformations! I have witnessed first hand the fabulous success my clients have also had with weight loss, increased self esteem, energy, and confidence that has been life changing.

I do know that one-size-does-not-fit-all when it comes to fitness & nutrition and a persons journey to better health. I've also learned that while the healthiest way to eat and exercise may have some things in common, in all actuality there is no one RIGHT way.
With this in mind I have made it my mission to focus my attention and specialize in coaching, training, and empowering maturing women to achieving and maintaining a healthier lifestyle thru good nutrition and fitness. It works!
