Nobody has motivated me so much during a workout. Made a total different in how I treat my body or approach exercising. Thank you.

[goonie]

So long since I’ve felt like myself. Struggling to get back to feeling strong. Thank you for this workout to help me get there!

[gamecock]

Loved Rachel's energy and understanding of how to motivate without resorting to talking about a bikini body or the shape of our butts. the workout is genuinely challenging and the leadership of a fitness instructor like Rachel showing us that fitness can be about more than just trying to wrestle our bodies into a specific shape is really refreshing.

I was feeling so out of it after losing my beloved grandfather yesterday and just wanted to move… so excited when I saw a new Rachel workout because she is my fave. Feeling sweaty, moved and at peace now.

This was incredible! I'm a beginner but like to be challenged and this was such a good balance - I could follow the entire routine and feel so great and accomplished! Sending back lots of positive vibes from Bombay, Rachel!

Thank you for this workout session girls! It's a pleasure to see real people on the screen :) I like the music choice 😀

I'm always really excited to see a new video from Rachel! She really keeps such a good flow to the workout that keeps me moving even when I start running out of steam ❤

[sarahattias]

AMAZING workout. Great for endo girlies like me who can no longer jump or do high impact without tons of pain. Being super athletic and then having to scale it back was hard. So nice to get an actually solid workout while keeping it safe. <3
