Ready to kick your fitness into a higher gear?
Summer can be a great time to push yourself: the days are long, energy is high, and if we are lucky, we may even have some extra free time on our hands.
I am challenging you (yes, YOU! 🫵🏻) to commit to three strength-training sessions per week for the summer. To encourage this, I am offering special deals on Personal Training packages or weekly memberships.
But that’s not all! By popular request, I will be holding weekly small-group training sessions in the park. These “sweat sessions” will be focused on cardio/conditioning and will complement strength training to boost your overall fitness. Limit 5 people per class; only open to current Personal Training clients.
Summer Specials are only available July 7-August 31, 2025 and spots are very limited.
You’re ready for this! 💪🏻

Ready to crush your fitness goals? Here are The Gym of Life's current business hours!
10/08/2024
Hello! 👋🏻 I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself — I’m Rachel Sims Baker, Trainer/Coach & Founder of The Gym of Life.
I have been training and coaching since 2015: first in Austin, TX and now in Astoria, NY. Specializing in strength and conditioning training with a dash of mindfulness, I have a knack for making exercise fun, accessible, and effective. I am a firm believer in fitness for everyBODY. As a coach, it is my job to meet my clients where they are, while also encouraging them to tap into their full potential.
Of course, life is much more than just fitness: I am a project manager (by day) and a mom (24/7). In my free time, I enjoy exploring New York City, paddle boarding, hiking, and live music. I am proudly part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I speak openly about mental health and always try to keep it real.
Let’s get to know each other! What’s your favorite lift?
