Rachael Babcock
Hi! I'm Rachael, a certified personal trainer and owner of Evolve Personal Performance. My journey in the realm of personal training began with a certification from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) from 2017 through 2020. I took a break to start a family and then certified through the American Council on Exercise (ACE) as a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) in early 2024. And Evolve Personal Performance came to life shortly after! My primary goal is to create a welcoming and supportive space where everyone feels empowered, safe and confident in their fitness and wellness journey.
Formerly active in high school sports, I delved into long distance running and completed a marathon and several half marathons in my early 20s. I transitioned to weightlifting in 2016 due to knee issues related to arthritis that made running difficult. My new found love of weightlifting and transforming my health and body, led to a few bodybuilding competitions where I competed in both figure and physique.
My battle with ongoing severe knee arthritis has brought a unique understanding of physical limitations and the vital role of weight training in overcoming challenges. I also faced several pregnancy complications, but guided by my OBGYN, I returned to the weight room, affirming the transformative power of exercise during pivotal life stages. Amid post-partum struggles, I realized the significance of exercise for mental well-being as well. Fitness became crucial for my overall health and aiding in recovery from post-partum depression and anxiety.
When I'm not coaching, you'll often find me enjoying moments outdoors with my two little adventurers, aged 3 and 5, and my supportive husband. Whether we're exploring scenic trails, enjoying playgrounds at local parks, or simply playing in our backyard, these moments outdoors are truly cherished. Beyond our outdoor adventures, a considerable part of my time is devoted to supporting my little ones in their exciting endeavors in gymnastics and various sporting activities. Witnessing their determination, enthusiasm, and growth in these activities fills me with immense pride and joy.
One of my greatest aspirations is to instill in my little ones the profound significance of physical and mental health, movement, and strength. As a parent and a dedicated fitness enthusiast, I strive to be a role model for my kids, demonstrating the incredible benefits that an active and healthy lifestyle can offer.
I'm excited to be a part of your journey toward confidence, strength, and well-being. Let's work together to achieve your fitness goals and unlock your full potential!
