Testimonials
I have been personal training with Rachel for 5 months. With no previous experience with a personal trainer there was a bit of trepidation starting this at 50+. Rachel has been excellent, working me through the various exercises and different pieces of equipment to make sure that my technique is correct. She is constantly checking to make sure the muscles are being worked in the correct way and adjusting my form where required. I like that she gives me a push to go a bit heavier at times but without going too far. I really like the stretching at the end of each session. The quality and range of equipment is very good as in the cleanliness of the gym. The current expansion of the gym will make it even better and is a credit to her hard work and dedication. Rachel herself is very personable and approachable. She has a huge amount of knowledge and experience and I trust her completely. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any other locals considering a personal trainer.
I’ve been training with Rachel Scott at her home-based gym in Dunsandel for the past few months and can’t recommend her highly enough. Rachel is an excellent PT who places a huge emphasis on getting technique right, which makes a big difference in both safety and results. She has a great range of equipment and weights available, and it’s clear she’s continuing to invest in and expand the gym. I do a mix of one-on-one and shared sessions, which works really well. Even after only a few months I’m already feeling noticeably stronger. I’ve also come into training with a few injuries, and Rachel has been fantastic at adapting exercises and stretches so that I can keep progressing without aggravating them. She’s friendly, personable, and creates a really supportive environment. Most importantly, I trust her knowledge and approach, and I feel genuinely supported in working toward my health and fitness goals. If you’re looking for a PT in the Selwyn area, Rachel is definitely worth checking out.
Training with Rach is awesome. Workouts are always varied, challenging and enjoyable. Rach explains things well and is adaptable. Training has built my strength and taken away niggles, preventing reoccurring back pain. I would recommend Rachel to anyone!
I can’t recommend my PT trainer, Rachel Scott, enough. From the very beginning she has been supportive, motivating, and genuinely invested in helping me reach my goals. Rachel has such a kind and approachable nature, which makes every session feel comfortable and encouraging. She takes the time to adjust my workouts each week to suit my situation, and every session is well planned, challenging, and motivating. She also makes sure my posture and technique are correct so I can get the most out of every exercise we do. Rachel pushes me outside of my comfort zone in the best way, while still making me feel supported and capable. I’ve already seen improvements in my strength, fitness, and overall confidence. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress and wellbeing, Rachel is the one.
I first connected with Rachel after seeing an ad for her personal training on our local community page. I was honestly quite nervous about starting, as it had been over 10 years since I’d last stepped into a gym. Back then I was training 5–6 days a week and focused heavily on weights, so returning after such a long break felt pretty intimidating. From the very first session, Rachel made me feel completely at ease. She’s incredibly welcoming and supportive, and her initial consultation was thorough and thoughtful. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted to achieve and understand my goals. What I love most is how personalised every session is. Rachel tailors each workout specifically to the client and adapts things on the spot depending on how the session is going. If I tell her I want to be pushed, she absolutely delivers! Even though I’ve spent a lot of time in gyms in the past, Rachel never assumes I know everything. She’s always coaching, guiding, and correcting my technique to make sure I’m getting the most out of every exercise and doing it safely. I would recommend Rachel again and again to anyone looking for a personal trainer. She works with all fitness levels and creates such a positive, encouraging environment that makes you want to keep coming back.
Training with Rachel has been one of the best investments I’ve made in the last 12 months. She focuses on the fundamentals while keeping every session varied and challenging, and I’ve seen real progress because of it. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Rachel through mutual friends, and I'm thrilled to have discovered her personal training services. She's been an absolute rock for me throughout my weight loss journey and mental health, providing a safe and supportive environment. From the very first session, Rachel has been warm, inviting, and dedicated to understanding my unique needs and goals. I highly recommend her!
