Few new faces here, so I wanted to introduce myself! I'm Rachel and I'm a fitness coach in the Austin area. I am obsessed with nail art and cheese. I have 4 cats, and I foster cats/kittens from our local shelter. My coaching style has been described as the intensive care bear, and I enjoy helping people step outside of their comfort zone. by @hardingainz

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT ✨.I literally teared up putting this transformation together yesterday for my client Jayme. We have been working together now for over 6 months, and her transformation and journey have been incredible. We are now down 28lbs (and counting) - but this journey has been so much more than just the number on the scale. We have transformed stress management, daily habits, food relationships, body image, and self love..I have been so lucky to be your coach during this journey. I truly believe that some paths are meant to cross, and I'm thankful to have you as a client. 💞 by @hardingainz

CLIENT TRANSFORMATION ✨I want to shout out my client who has been absolutely crushing her protocols. We’re officially 30+ lbs down and have built a sustainable foundation for her long-term wellness. She has been showing up, staying consistent, and doing the work. Proud is truly an understatement 🥹Over the past year, she’s stayed committed to her workouts (even with a busy schedule), and the gains speak for themself. She’s learned how to fuel her body and enjoy life, making room for events while still honoring her goals.Watching her commitment and growth over this past year has been incredible.#FitFam #LiftHeavy #GymLife #TransformationJourney by @hardingainz

I’ve been taking a lot of pictures lately 💟 So hard to keep this account equal parts of coach Rachel and just Rachel. Both are such a huge part of me. But outside of the gym, I’m usually walking around with my Mamiya camera. First two pictures of me were taken by my man on 35mm. Rest are the shots I was taking on 120mm. by @hardingainz

Did you know that grip strength is directly tied to your mortality rate? 🧐Grip strength is the physical ability to hold onto and maintain control of an external object in your hands for an extended period of time.A strong grip not only improves your physical performance but your overall wellness as well. It makes everyday activities easier and also increases your overall functionality. Did you know grip strength is associated to your cardiovascular health? In a large scale study — 140,000 individuals were monitored with their health over a four-year period. Each 11-pound decrease in grip strength had the following effects:- 17% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality- 7% greater risk of having a heart attack- 9% higher risk of strokeAll this to say: keep training your grip strength. Incorporate holding/lifting all types of weights (kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells, bumper plates, etc). It will not only help with your performance, but could help prevent a future injury or help to prolong your life. #FitFam #LiftHeavyShit #TrainForLongevity by @hardingainz

Save this back workout for your next pull day. Don’t forget to fully extend your arms at the bottom of your cable movements and keep your chest proud. Should be a real burner :)#liftheavyshit #fitfam by @hardingainz

Don’t forget to allow yourself time to play. We work so hard. We’re burdened with so many responsibilities. We’re required to be so serious. We do the same routines day in and out. We live in constant stress. What we can and cannot do. So here’s your reminder to allow time and space to be free and silly. Time to create. Time to be lazy. A space where you’re allowed to fail. Let yourself exhale ❇️ by @hardingainz
