Rachel Pendakur Training

Introduction: Rachel holds an M.A. in Psychological Science, and her research areas of interest have centered heavily on health psychology as well as behavior change and adherence to health-promotion behaviors. From both research and practice, Rachel knows that people most often need help with behavior change execution, whether they want to focus their coaching on a physique goal, performance goal, body image work, or simply on general health improvements and quality of life. She firmly believes that fitness should be a positive addition to your life; not an all-consuming endeavor. Her coaching approach emphasizes client autonomy, and sustainable change supporting long-term benefits. In addition to hitting the gym in her free time, she also loves to try new San Diego restaurants, go on walks and hikes, or just relax with her dog and a good book.
