What people say?

I was really worried about signing up to the 'Stronger for longer membership' as I haven’t exercised in years. I am newly retired, over weight and didn’t want people to see me exercising. I love how the movements we learn can easily be integrated into your day. I now love getting out of bed every morning to try my balance challenge whilst brushing my teeth.

I have been attending Rachel's Outdoor classes now for almost a year and I absolutely love them. As a cyclist and runner I know the importance of strength training but don't like typical gym based strength classes. What has been most noticeable is I used to have a shoulder injury and since doing these classes my injury has now completely gone and my running and cycling is improving. Thank you Rachel.

FAQ's

It depends on what type of class  or session you are looking at.  I offer a broad range of activities which caters for the complete beginner up to more experienced and fitter individuals.  All classes and activities will be given a level type it’s suitable for, but if you’re not sure then please get in touch. 

I have a range of cycling programmes on offer from the complete beginner to those who would like to take on a 100km bike ride.  For my zero to cycling hero programme it doesn’t matter what type of bike you have, in fact we would love it if you’ve just dusted off your bike and haven’t ridden it for years.  For the Sportdivas course you will need a hybrid with road tyres or a road bike. 

All of my guided walks are graded, as well as information about the distance.  My guided walks will vary from Easy to Moderate and Challenging or Strenuous. 

Our community is about supporting women together to enjoy walking together, so therefore we never leave anyone behind and will always walk at the pace of the slowest walker.  

If you’re not sure if the walk is the right level for you, then please get in touch, I’m always happy to chat on the phone.  

You don’t need any specialist equipment.  I never want equipment to be a barrier for you enjoying moving.  

In fact I would always encourage you to use things that you would most likely have at home.  

For any specialist workshops introducing you to a new piece of equipment then these will be included in the cost of the class.  

The face to face activities will vary in venue, especially the guided walks and the cycling programmes, as these tend to move around each week/month.  I often use Norton Parish Hall and my studio which is based in Malvern.  All activities will give you details about the venue location first.

Yes absolutely.  Most of my clients come to my studio but the beauty of personal coaching is it’s tailored for you and that includes the venue, so if you’d like 1:1 coaching at your home then please get in touch.  

That’s fine, let’s chat first.  All of my clients are screened before you take part in an activity, this is so I can get some more information about any injuries or previous medical history so that I can advise you accordingly and offer you the right support.

As with equipment, I never want kit or clothing to be a barrier for you.  In fact you can come join any of my online classes in your PJs if that suits.  

My guided walks take place all year round, so I will always advise you on a kit list on what to bring for each walk.  If there is anything you need and you’re not sure of, then charity shops, Facebook Marketplace or Vinted are a great place to search for these things.  

For my cycling programmes you just need to be in something your comfortable in.  I always want to help you find ways to normalise cycling, so that it’s not about the kit.
