Meet Rachel Huncke, Certified Personal Trainer

“The burn won’t kill you.”

Rachel’s Story

As I navigate my own recovery from addiction, self-harm, severe burns, domestic violence, single-motherhood, neurodivergence, and more, strength training has been THE MOST valuable tool I have acquired. I struggled for many years to feel safe and powerful in my own body, and working out has gifted me the ability to maintain physical, emotional, and mental health through life’s ups and downs.

My life has been a beautiful and heartbreaking story of profound experiences, immense joy and gratitude, and many many tear-soaked trials and errors. I have been through events that have pulled me away from my fitness journey, so I understand how it feels to be a beginner and to start again. Absolutely nothing brings me more joy than to do what I love and offer support, knowledge, and understanding to other women.

Your body is your forever home and belongs only to you! My job is to help you build and maintain a strong foundation so that you can live a life that feels good in the way you truly deserve.

It can be hard, it will be fun, and the burn won’t kill you.
