Meet Thunderbolt Coach Rachel  You’ll find her coaching Olympic Weightlifting in our Barbell Club, as well as coaching early morning CrossFit classes.

Rachel has been doing CrossFit for 11 years and coaching for 6.5 years. She has done several CrossFit comps, she ran the 2014 Northface Endurance Challenge (50 miler), and she’s currently training for Masters Nationals in March.

Outside the gym, you’ll find Rachel hanging out with Thunderbolt Coach John (her husband), and their rescue dogs Fireball, Tullamore, and Watson. She gives the warmest hugs and is the type of friend who’s down for crazy adventures. And last but definitely not least: her favorite comic book character is Venom!
