Rachelle Thériault
Personal Trainer
Motivating others to be active and stay fit has been my passion since I was a teenager and after 20+ years of coaching fitness I still love it! It is so awesome to help others become stronger and more empowered. My athletic background includes a huge array of both individual and team sports, including competitive mountain biking and endurance running races, which have provided me with the experience to understand the athletic challenges and injuries in my clients. I currently focus on long distance running and coaching youth basketball/soccer.
Combining my professional fitness experience with my own sports journey, I have learned that having a strong core is a key component for my clients to reduce their risk of injury and develop stronger, more precise movements that lead to better overall athletic performance. I have also learned along the way that obstacles/life events usually appear that challenge your fitness goals. I find that helping individuals retain focus, reduce injury risk and, if necessary, discover alternative pathways to reach their fitness goals, is incredibly rewarding. Sometimes we all need help “getting back on that horse” and adopting my mantra: “you can do this”!
