Hi, I'm Rachel. I moved to Beaufort in 2006. I have worked as a radiation therapist at Carteret Health Care since 2013. My passion has always been fitness and wellness, not only for myself but for others. I opened my own gym in 2019 and quickly attracted 30+ clients.

Hello!  I'm Jane, and I am a retired special education teacher from Virginia.  My husband and I just moved to Beaufort.  We couldn't have chosen a better place to live. 

I have always been focused on my fitness and believe daily workouts are good for the MIND, BODY and SOUL...and my marriage!!  During the pandemic, I decided to become a Certified Personal Trainer.  I am certified through NASM.  In Richmond, I worked as a trainer at Burn Boot Camp and Rock Steady Boxing (an amazing gym for patients with Parkinsons).

My biggest advice is to believe in yourself because you can do hard things.  Be YOU and let's GROW together!
