Common Ground Fitness is excited to announce the addition of our newest personal trainer in training, Rachel Rondeau!
Youâll start seeing Rachel assisting with coaching in our StrongHER Small Group Training sessions as she works toward completing her ACE Personal Trainer certification. Once certified, Rachel will be a wonderful addition to our Common Ground coaching family, offering 1:1 personal training and helping us add more sessions to our growing StrongHER program.
Hereâs a little more about Rachel, in her own words:
Iâm a full-time automotive damage appraiser and auto body shop manager, a proud mom of a recent high school graduate, and a dog mom of two/doodle lover.
I found and fell in love with running about 15 years ago. Shortly after, I learned that strength training was the best stress-management tool for me. I learned that the progress I made running and the gains from strength training empowered me and made me feel strong, both physically and mentally.
I was a personal training client for three years, learning about proper form, how to modify for injuriesâŠand really, learning more about what I was capable of. I had continually expressed interest in getting certified and helping others the way Nadya helped me.
I decided to start small by creating a family bootcamp. I started coaching nine of my family members, from ages 14â75, learning along the way. The positive reaction from my family helped push me to sign up for the ACE Certified Personal Trainer course.
I plan to be certified by January 2027!
Weâre so excited to have Rachel taking this next step with us and to watch her grow from a longtime personal training client into a coach herself. Her own experience discovering how much stronger and more capable she was than she realized is exactly what we hope to help others discover through StrongHER and personal training at Common Ground. Please help us welcome Rachel to the coaching team!
