about Personal Training with The Gym of Life

Rachel Sims Baker

Founder & Trainer

Personal Training may be for you if...

You have past injuries or exercise anxiety, and need someone who adapts to you

You’re tired of generic plans that don’t address your needs and want 1:1 guidance

You're overwhelmed by all the (mis)information and want to filter out the noise

You want fitness that lasts: strength for everyday living, both now and in the future

You prefer a private, welcoming space over loud, crowded gyms

You need structure, support, or a gentle push to stay consistent

How to Get Started

1. Request a free consultation

You will be prompted to fill out a brief intake form at the time of booking. Upon review, you will receive a confirmation of the appointment. If it isn't a good fit, I will try to refer you to another local professional.

2. Attend the consultation

The consultation is an opportunity for us to chat, ask questions, and determine if this is the right fit. No need to wear workout clothes as there will not be a workout component. Consultations last 30-60 minutes,

3. Make it official

We will follow up via email with next steps. You'll review and sign the Client Services Agreement and other digital paperwork. You will also set up your account in the training app, in which you can book your first session.

Client Testimonials

I love working with Rachel! Her space is perfect for me; it’s removing all intimidation of a traditional gym setting and I can just focus on getting stronger and learning new ways of moving my body. Rachel is kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable, everything I was hoping for in a trainer.

Alana M.

Rachel has been great to work with so far! She’s encouraging and will push you to push yourself, but is definitely not a drill instructor. Her program is tailored to your specific goals and is effective!

Lindsey F.

I started personal training with Rachel recently and so far it’s been a really positive experience! Rachel has taken the time to understand my goals and has built a program tailored to my needs. She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and functional fitness. Also, her [gym] setup is great!

Katelyn D.

Rachel is awesome! In my experience, she'll meet you wherever you're at. I didn't want to focus on/discuss weight loss, and she totally respected that. She's HAES-informed and LGBTQ+ friendly. We ended every session with gentle exercises to get me out of fight/flight mode. LOVE her!

Caitlin A.

Rachel is fantastic! I was never one to go to the gym because of how packed and icky it is but one day I came across Rachel’s page and booked my free consultation. I’ve seen real progress and she always brings great energy to the sessions. 100/10!

Gabriela A.

Rachel is a rock-star! Not only is she super motivating, but she tailors a workout program specifically for your individual goals. She monitors that you have perfect form, and changes the intensity as needed, during the current session. I would recommend her to anyone seriously wanting a healthier lifestyle.

Amy H.

Rachel helped me get motivated and back in shape after my first child. She wrote down a personalized workout and it gave me the courage and passion to get back into working out right after childbirth. She’s incredible, sweet, smart and realistic.

Kristen M.

Rachel has the perfect combination of different training methods. Her individualized and challenging exercise programs set a realistic foundation to achieve your goals. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to her work and her clients provide an ideal scenario for success.

Gabie K.

Rachel was fantastic to work with! She listened to my goals (from aesthetic goals to long-term health goals) and created a doable plan to meet my needs. She’s warm, friendly, and motivating—highly recommend working with her!

Nathaly P.

Rachel is beyond amazing. In just a short time period (going on a month) I am already seeing great results! She is encouraging, effective and super friendly. I am so glad I found her, I can honestly say she is changing my life; I actually enjoy my workouts now.

Ashley G.

I was looking to become more confident in my body and become stronger, both mentally and physically. Rachel made me feel so comfortable right off the bat; her presence and nonjudgmental energy/personality made me feel like I could share anything with her. She knew exactly how to slowly build the workouts, without pushing too hard (which is what I asked), but still helping me become stronger each workout. She takes into account all of my injuries and limitations, and listens to how my body feels each workout, adjusting when necessary. Working out with her is also super fun, and the time flies by (which I've never experienced with working out). I feel stronger than ever and feel so lucky to have a few hours of her time each week! If you're looking for someone who is really knowledgeable about fitness, understands her client's strengths and limitations, and cares about your progress, never judges, look no further!!

Daria G.

Rachel and I have been working together since the Spring of 2017. With her guidance, positive attitude and knowledge she has helped me achieve physical and mental successes I have never had on my own and did not know possible.

She has provided me with loads of accessible information about my physical capabilities, mindset/mental framing, and fitness equipment that has empowered me to get better each day. Her flexibility in training sessions, ability to program on the fly, and humor are just a few of the reasons she excels at her craft.

I still have a long journey ahead and I am looking forward to that with Rachel as my coach.
