Hi, I’m Raquel! I’m a NASM-certified personal trainer with a background in biology and experience in caregiving and clinical support. I’m passionate about helping people build confidence, energy, and strength through personalized coaching. Whether you're new to fitness or ready to level up, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build sustainable habits for the long run. My goal is to be your cheerleader and your coach—both inside and outside the gym!

I grew up in Lakewood, Colorado, and joined the Marine Corps right after high school. After my service, I discovered my passion for fitness while exploring new ways to train and become stronger-despite never having played sports growing up. That curiosity led me to earn a Bachelors in Sport and Exercise Science: Human Performance from UNC. I am passionate about fitness because I’ve seen how it transforms lives-including my own. I am always happy to help people take the next step in their fitness journey.

Being a Colorado native has inspired my love for being active and being outdoors. For the past 15 years, I have worked in the medical field. I have enjoyed helping people when they feel their worst, but I am excited to help people maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, so they can feel their best!

Born and raised in Fort Collins, I've always been a sports enthusiast growing up playing most sports and racing motocross. After college, I developed a passion for working out and have been a gym advocate ever since. After spending several years in the medical field helping people, my goal has transitioned to helping people on their fitness journey!
