Rachel D'Amour (Testimonial)

I have been training with Rachel for over three years, and I can honestly say she is the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. Until meeting Rachel, I always found it difficult to stick with a trainer for any period of time - the workouts would become stale and repetitive, or the trainer would flake out at the last moment and cancel, and I'd get off track. Rachel has made all of those things a distant memory. My workouts are always varied, fun and challenging. She is constantly going to fitness conferences and workshops to learn new techniques and trends which she then builds into my workouts. I always feel that I am working at the edge of my ability - she pushes me to work really hard but always with a careful eye on my own physical limits and abilities. She somehow manages to do this without a hint of "drill sergeant" - she has a friendly, positive and upbeat approach that keeps me motivated and looking forward to my next session. Rachel is always professional, punctual and flexible, and her passion for her work, and helping me to achieve my fitness goals, are always apparent. She is creative and extremely knowledgeable about exercise physiology and many different kinds of body work and approaches to fitness. She has also patiently and safely helped me rebound from several injuries incurred during other activities over the years. Say good-bye to boring, stale workouts and so-so results and get ready to enjoy both the process of getting in shape and the great results you are certain to achieve with Rachel! Jen G.

I am really delighted with the results I have made since starting my training. Rachel is a careful and patient trainer, who creates imaginative programs and is always supportive, never judgmental. - Gideon L.

Rachel Kobey D'Amour (Testimonial)

I chose to use a personal trainer for the first time in an attempt to reverse my terrible track record of starting a workout routine and then dropping it at the first excuse. Rachel has allowed me to fulfill that goal, carefully designing a routine and schedule for me that I have maintained for a year and a half. She has done more than that. Rachel has shown me that effective workouts are not just about the number of weights lifted or the time spent in the gym, but about understanding the how and why. She is always patient, respectful of your limits but also attentive to your personal goals, and creative in striking the balance between them. As someone who has always dreaded the gym, I never thought I would have a personal trainer, and never ever thought I could say that I even enjoy the gym. - Matthew P.

Rachel Kobey D'Amour (Testimonial)

Rachel is the consummate professional, but that doesn't begin to describe the degree to which she will go for any of her clients. From the moment I made contact with Rachel as her personal training client, to the present day, she has taken a genuine interest, not only in my physical well-being, but also who I am as a person. Her passion and vitality come through in everything she does - Rachel once commented about how I rarely missed a day of training, little did she know that my week would suffer, not just for missing a workout with her, but for all the immeasurable pieces she gave to me, and gives her clients, every day. Rachel would never scoff at a new idea or a question about something I may have heard, but rather she would listen intently, and even investigate it on her own - she is a shining example of how everyone should attach the knowledge-base of their industry and career. Her drive to absorb knowledge and continuously grow and develop in her field is something we should all strive to do in our chosen endeavors. I can honestly say that without Rachel, not only would I probably be dealing with the repercussions of major back surgery, but I also wouldn't have the confidence I have in myself today. She has helped me to create a foundation of fitness and to love my body for what it is, what it can do, and not some ideal that someone else creates for me. Andrea Duchesneau

Thank you for everything you have done for me over the past two years. My attitude towards exercise has changed forever. I now view myself as an athlete, after 40+ years of carrying around a much different mindset. You have helped create a healthier person and someone who will never give up on exercising. I think that's probably the best thing I can say to a trainer as dedicated as you are. You are a wonderful person. Kirsten Nahas
