Testimonials

“After seeing clips on Rahel’s instagram, I always thought about how much fun everyone was having, how strong they were, and that I would never be able to do what they did. Fastforward a year, and I was finally brave enough to attend one of Rahel’s calisthenics workshops.

From having no upper body strength, I joined with only with a “I’m just going to have fun” attitude. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.

Since joining in late 2023, I’ve attended almost all the workshops in London, and have also been on two of her retreats abroad (which were HEAVEN!!!). I have recently also started having PT sessions with Rahel to excel further and I am progressing so much!!

Rahel is great to be around, funny and also super knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, female health etc and also shares honestly her own raw experiences regarding her fitness journey. I’m lucky enough to have made so many friends through the fantastic cali community she has built.

I became an instant addict and my journey with Rahel isn’t over yet. I can’t shout loudly enough about her, SHE IS AWESOME!!! Don’t hesitate. Book that session/retreat/those PT sessions – you won’t regret it.”

“Rahel was my trainer for almost a year and half and I have to echo all of the other incredible reviews! Rahel’s expansive physical and nutritional knowledge, training technique, infectious attitude, and her own incredible work of art (her body!) all lend itself to instilling confidence and inspiration for your own training. Rahel and I had early morning outdoor sessions and we honestly had the best time. What an incredibly positive start to the day! Rahel respected my motivations for wanting to train (not weight loss) and through her emphasis on strength training and lifting I got stronger and happier 🙂 Rahel is generous, warm, ridiculously skilled and I would highly recommend her to anyone committed to a fantastic regime. Thank you Rahel 🥰”

“Over the past year, I developed a keen curiosity for calisthenics. With limited access to social media platforms, it took me a bit longer to find a safe place and suitable trainer to start my calisthenics journey. What piqued my interest were Rahel’s candid and unapologetic blogs about her own calisthenics journey. She passionately conveyed that there’s an equal place for women in the calisthenics world, just as much as for men, and that was it – decision made – I reached out to Rahel ASAP and signed up to 10 sessions. Sessions with her were not only incredibly informative, but also an absolute blast! To my surprise, I made faster progress than I had ever imagined, thanks to Rahel’s expert guidance and humanistic approach.

Her patience and measured encouragement were pivotal in helping me develop new skills. Rahel is not just an immensely knowledgeable trainer; her infectious enthusiasm and awesome sense of humour made every session a delight. Together, we tackled some deep-rooted fears that emerged during my training, particularly in regard to inversions. Rahel, thank you for your unwavering support and for providing a safe space for me to confront discomfort, which is where I discovered true personal growth. I wholeheartedly recommend Rahel as a personal trainer. She’s a remarkable guide on the path to fitness and self-discovery.”

“Rahel is a unique professional as she combines the knowledge of both a personal trainer and nutrition coach.

I have been an on and off gym goer for years and used to lack motivation and knowledge, so when finally decided to up my game and do things properly, I felt very lucky to find Rahel’s Instagram page.
From day 1 she was very supportive, enthusiastic and super easy to talk to, tailored our training sessions and kept them varied and fun.

I never thought I’d fall in love with resistance training and be able to maintain a regular exercise schedule (3x a week) while eating healthy!

Thanks so much Rahel for your guidance and help!”

“I contacted Rahel via Instagram as I gained a bit of weight during lockdown and I needed someone to motivate me with healthy eating while teaching me about nutrition.

She’s been amazing since day 1 and during these first four weeks I didn’t even feel like I was on a diet! She gave me so much valuable knowledge on intuitive eating and on the best foods for fat loss – and on top of that I lost more than 2 kg in four weeks!Rahel, thank you for your help, I’m looking forward to working with you again soon :)”

“Now in my 80’s, I began weekly training sessions with Rahel in 2019 – with the idea of building up and maintaining muscle strength well into old age.

Rahel is a warm, kind, patient human being, who is committed to helping and tailors her approach to the individual client. Constantly adding new exercises to a basic regime which targets all areas of the body, she makes the sessions fun as well as challenging.

She knowledgeably and interestingly explains the reasons behind the movements; is strict but understanding; and is punctual, reliable, and conscientious to a fault.

Thank you Rahel. Long may it last!!”

“Attending the Calisthenics classes this summer has been one of the best decisions I made. I was a bit hesitant to join at first but after meeting Rahel and the amazing group of ladies, I was so glad I went ahead with it.

The classes have been such a great experience, so informative yet fun and I have learnt so many new exercises such as Dragon flag, Skin the Cat and progressed onto learning the Human flag. (I also went from not being able to lift myself off the ground to now doing 5 pushups unassisted!!) Not only have I learnt these skills but also beneficial lessons that I can apply in other aspects of my life.

Rahel is a true inspiration for me; she has pushed me to my personal level and given me the confidence I needed. It’s honestly impressive how much I’ve improved within 2 months and I cannot wait to be back for the outdoor classes next year!”

“Rahel has changed my life. It wasn’t just a case of getting in shape for me, it was turning my health around. I set a target to lose 2st in 3 months and was determined to do it. With her incredible knowledge of both nutrition and PT, Rahel made a tailor made programme that balanced total lifestyle change with achievability.

Rahel is unique in that she does both nutrition AND training, so any programme is of course more effective. Oh, and she’s damn good fun too!

I would HIGHLY recommend Rahel for any fitness or health plan you’re embarking on. In 3 months I got into better shape than I’d been since I was 18!”

“Rahel has been training me twice a week on my sitting room floor for three years. I can honestly say I have never been stronger and fitter in my whole life – and I am 65. I hate gyms and had lacked any motivation to exercise before, but now I am proud and rather amazed by what she has helped me achieve. Training with Rahel is always a varied sequence of different exercises which keep every session interesting. Legs, arms, abs, cardio – boxing, weights, ball balancing. She’s always coming up with new combinations. Twinges in specific muscles are expertly managed. I had a troublesome elbow which has disappeared. She is more knowledgeable than many a physio and has taught me a lot about how my muscular system works. That understanding is very empowering.
She is a wise friend, an inspirational teacher and a great motivator. A few days ago, little old granny – me – was in the Ionian Sea, hauling in the anchor of a 50 foot ketch. The electric windlass had cut out. (Sailors will know how much strength that needs.). In my bikini. I couldn’t possibly have done either without Rahel’s skills.”

“Rahel is an amazing personal trainer! She is ambitious, incredibly knowledgeable in nutrition and sport and a great person to be around, funny and very positive. She is patient but will push you to your limits so your limits will expand – and fast! I am beyond delighted to have chosen Rahel to work with!

I spent 10 weeks in London and trained 3x a week. Now getting so many compliments from colleagues on my slimmer figure and toned physique.

Thanks for putting up with me Rahel! It was a true pleasure to meet you and train with you!”

“Rahel has a great attitude, lots of knowledge and tons of energy! I have been training with her for 6 months plus and have got fantastic results and hit several goals. Highly recommended.”

“I have had the pleasure of attending the workshops run by Rahel and buying products.

Firstly-products are of such high quality and you also get great comms and fast postage. The parallettes are really helping me achieve my goals and are soooo strong to hold me!

The workshops I attended last summer were so inspiring – Rahel believes in you, pushes you and makes you smile! I couldn’t believe what I could achieve with her support and having her there to catch me if I couldn’t quite make it!!”

“Rahel is truly the sweetest soul I’ve met in a long time. She takes the time to pay attention to everyone and has an incredible understanding of how the body works, adjusting things to suit each individual. The environment she creates is extremely empowering, with everyone cheering each other’s wins and pushing one another to do better. Rahel explains everything so well, and it’s inspiring to see such a strong and dedicated individual in action. Many girls from my course have taken her classes and retreats, which look unreal. I highly recommend Rahel for anyone looking to get into calisthenics—this definitely won’t be the last time she sees me! If only I could give 6 stars!”

“Rahel has been training me for 8 years and I hope she will continue to do so for the next 8, and more.  She is an essential part of my life and my most important investment. I am fitter and stronger than I have ever been.  In the last six months, Rahel has excelled in two special objectives for me.  The first was my 70th birthday, when she created a specific diet and exercise regime that meant I stepped on to the dance floor in a fabulously fitting dress, and boogied the night away, occasionally being flung through the air by my reckless son.  Not only that, Rahel came shopping with me, and when I tried on the dress, a man sitting on the pouffes for bored partners outside the dressing rooms exclaimed, ‘That’s the one!’ And applauded.  Result!

The second plan was a skiing holiday, only booked a month in advance.  Rahel’s sessions focussed on leg exercises, as a result of which I skied at a pretty good pace for long runs without stopping or tiring and had absolutely no muscular problems.  I was frankly surprised to realise that I had more stamina on the pistes than I had when I was ten years younger.

Rahel, you are brilliant.  And I am incredibly grateful for everything you’ve done for me. Long may we go on training together!”

“Amazing trainer. Whether 1 on 1 or in a group, Rahel’s knowledge, enthusiasm and skills are vast and infectious! She helps everyone find their confidence and see that they can do what they never thought possible. Such positive and uplifting sessions. You’re building strength and skills too! Highly recommend.”

“Having put on a few pounds during lockdown I looked into ways to feel a little more body positive. A friend recommended Rahel for her knowledge and experience in Nutrition Coaching.

After an hour introduction chat where we discussed goals and a little background on each other I signed up to a 13 week course. We set up calorie targets against my goals, tracked everything in an app and did weekly coaching calls to run through how the previous week had been, discussed progress and made changes along the way.

Working with Rahel has been a pleasure, she has so much knowledge to share on diet and nutrition and is always full of energy and life. I’ve been educated on food and found a balanced diet in which I eat more but managed to lose weight at a faster pace than I had hoped for. I feel healthier, I’m much slimmer and my skin has improved.

In 13 weeks working with Rahel I’ve dropped 7.8kg and currently at a weight I’ve not been at for 25 years.

I am extremely happy with the results we’ve achieved. I’d highly recommend Rahel to anyone who might be interested in the Nutrition Coaching.”

“I love being part of Rahel’s classes and working out with her and in a really supportive group, which she seemed to attract and cultivated well! She is a fountain of knowledge about bodywork and calisthenics and promotes good technique, which is a number one for me.

Rahel is very energised, committed and focused and will have you working hard and upside down before you know it 🙂 but in a fully supportive and safe environment. I would say to anyone looking for calisthenics- try this and go with an open heart and have fun developing your superpowers!”

“I started Rahel’s cali classes this summer outdoors and found them and her to be incredible. I have learned so much about calisthenics and myself during these sessions. Rahel is inspiring, incredibly supportive and knows exactly how and when to push a student to go the extra mile. I and the group have been able to achieve way beyond our expectations through the belief and encouragement of this excellent teacher. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“I have been training with Rahel since April, when I was watching her calisthenics moves I never thought I would be able to do any of these movements, but after only few months I can do so many of moves, being able to be upside down, doing skin the cat which is my favourite. She is not only train us perfectly but also give us all the small tips and tricks. After my baby was born my abs was not as strong as before, lock down made me very down, but this class was just fun with learning new skills, having stronger upper body, stronger abs and me as a woman I am more confident that the gender in callisthenics does not matter. I highly recommend Rahel to whoever are looking for someone knowledgeable and professional to help them to have a fun, productive and smooth callisthenics and body transformation journey.
Thanks for helping me to overcome my fear Rahel xx”

“I have been training with Rahel for a number of years and the results are amazing. She has an amazing amount of knowledge and enthusiasm. I have had a number of challenging knee operations but each time she has adapted our training sessions to deal with them and now I am in great physical shape. I could not recommend her more highly.”

“Rahel has been a brilliant trainer for over a year now. She always brings energy and enthusiasm to the gym and so keeps training varied, interesting (she brings a load of nutritional knowledge with her too) and, most importantly, enjoyable. After deciding upon a new regime just over 6 months ago, I’ve been able to maintain a regular exercise schedule, a much better diet and have lost close on 10 kilos as a result and so, naturally, feel healthier, fitter, stronger and happier than ever. Rahel has played a huge part in that and showed me that diets and training don’t need to be boring to get the best results. I can only recommend her as a trainer.”

“Rahel has helped me so much the past 6 months. She has helped me to overhaul not only my diet but the diet of my children, without using that dreaded word “diet”. She has given me great advice and really knows her stuff. I would highly recommend you use her.”

“My partner and I worked closely with Rahel and our lives have changed so much!! She helped us to understand food and understand our bodies – we lost weight and put on muscle and feel great. All of the recipes were AMAZING and very tasty!! We couldn’t recommend her more. Whenever we needed a question answered, we would get a reply almost instantly – Thank you so much Rahel x”

“I have been working with Rahel for 2.5 years now and she is amazing. As my training regime goes through rough patches, the one constant is my weekly sessions with Rahel. She has made me infinitely stronger and always keeps it interesting, when I’m struggling she knows how to keep me going. We switch between conditioning and strength training and she knows my body and what I need. She is great whatever your needs are, whether it’s weight loss, rehab, fitness or strength-she can honestly do it all.”

“Rahel has a great attitude, lots of knowledge and tons of energy! I have been training with her for 6 months plus and have got fantastic results and hit several goals. Highly recommended.”
