What Clients Have to Say...

  • "Rachel has been my personal trainer at Equinox in Berkeley. When I joined the gym I was very intimidated by all the machines and did not know where to start. Rachel helped me feel confident and comfortable on the floor; she helped me establish a routine and kept me motivated. I always looked forward to my weekly training session with her, she is very knowledgeable, encouraging, and she ensured that my technique was always correct to avoid any injuries."

    Monica P.

  • “Rachel seriously changed my life! She is very attentive to her clients’ needs and individual situations, and she worked closely with me to make sure our training program was helping me achieve my personal goals. I have a demanding work schedule that would sometimes disrupt our training plans, but Rachel was always super flexible, incredibly organized, and very professional in accommodating my circumstances. And most importantly, her joy and positivity during our early morning workouts made training fun, and I always looked forward to our sessions!

  • "Rachel is an absolute game changer. I’ve been working out consistently in the gym for a while, but she showed me techniques that changed the way I view my lifts. She’s consistent with checking in and makes sure she answers any questions you may have. I felt comfortable to ask absolutely anything. I’d recommend Rachel to anyone starting off as a beginner or even advanced in the gym. "

    Simrah A.

  • “Rachel is hands down the best trainer I’ve ever had. She has not only helped me achieve my pole fitness goals but has also transformed my relationship with my body, making me appreciate it more every day. I’ve never felt stronger or healthier in my life. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trainer who is intuitive and tailors her approach to fit your unique body type. She’s a perfect 10!

Hi, I’m Rachel Taylor

I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada where I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by high level athletes, friends, and family. My number 1 sport was track & field in which I still compete at the semi-professional level. I also swam competitively, golfed, played and coached tennis and played every other sport you can imagine in my youth and adolescence. If you can’t find me on the track or in the gym, I’m either reading, watching reality dating shows, or outdoors with my boyfriend.  
I received my Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Sciences from Arizona State University. Originally pre-med, I studied and took the MCAT and worked as a cancer Research Associate at Genentech, Inc. in South San Francisco during my gap year. Before going to medical school, I wanted to understand the day-to-day of working in a medical office or hospital, so I left research to become a medical assistant. Although the job was incredibly rewarding in regards to patient care, a majority of the problems presented felt preventable. 
I began looking into careers where I could be on the other end of healthcare. In essence - how can I stop these problems from happening in the first place? In all the articles I read, they all shared one common solution: exercise.  I studied and received my Personal Training Certificate through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and began training in corporate environments at both Equinox and LifeTime Athletic. During this time I acquired more than 1,000+ hours working 1:1 with clients to help them achieve their goals. Additionally, I had the opportunity to continually learn from coaches of the highest level in regards to training, biomechanics, nutrition, communication, psychology, and business by attending weekend seminars and reading countless books and articles. 
However, beside the certifications I have attained, the most influential resource I’ve learned from is YOU, the client. I’ve had the opportunity of working a multitude of incredible people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and I want to be able to share this with you. My goal as a health practitioner is to help utilize elements of everything I’ve learned in order to optimize the proper program to help you move better, get stronger, and gain confidence in your body so that you can be present in your daily life.
