Rachel Cieslewicz

Training coach

Founder & Premier Coach

Hello, I’m Rachel Cieslewicz. I strive to educate myself on true and natural ways of living a vibrant healthy life, as a conscious path, aspiring towards my own human and athletic potential. My mission is to creatively apply and share knowledge to all seeking their own truth about who they truly are, and the heights they are capable of attaining as a unique individual.

A long time ago promised myself I would touch as many people as possible to help all I can to reach into their own dreams, and learn to live their utmost human potential. The full spectrum of my vast life experiences are expressed on this site, as well as in a forth coming book, as my dedication to the infinite beauty and possibility that is ultimately human potential via athletics and mindfulness.

Who I am

I am passionate about helping others become their absolute best, and to inspire and assist them in their journey to finding their own true potential within the mind/body/spirit ~ sport complex. I love helping all awaken to their incredibly unique abilities, and to realize that they are capable, powerful, amazing, and infinitely beautiful.

What I offer

I continuously nurture a lifetime of experiences racing as an elite and professional athlete in the running and cycling disciplines, practicing yoga, meditation (mindfulness practice), teaching Pilates, and giving massages. My enjoyment of running mountains, deserts and the road, as well as racing bicycles completes my soul. Evolution within my own passions assists me to help many ensure that their human and athletic dreams come true.

What sets me apart from other coaches

I have the ability to create personalized training programs that fit within your busy lifestyle. With over 20 years in the industry, I know what works because I understand the science behind training plans, and I personally have the same challenge of fitting my training in a time constrained work-day. I integrate mindfulness practice as part of your program experience. The tools I teach you will enhance your sport, your work and your family life.
