meet rachael
I was so delighted to have a Siwicki Fitness meetup this past weekend! I find it so interesting how we are all so different yet so much alike. I want you to know that no matter what phase of life you are in, you are welcome here. I want you to feel encouraged and inspired by one another. This week I am featuring Rachael D., who is a mother of SIX (yes, I said SIX). She is a total boss and CRUSHES every workout. I am absolutely blown away by her tenacity and effort shown in every single class. Get to know more about Rachel below!

How many days of the week do you workout:
3-4 Siwicki Fitness classes per week, I try to fit in a couple of walks or runs with friends or my husband as my crazy schedule permits.
Favorite Siwicki Fitness Class:
Tabata is my favorite class and starts my week off with a heart pumping total body workout. However, I love all o the live classes and try to take a mix of them so I never get bored and my body is challenged in new ways ways each week.
Motivating factor for working out:
Working out makes me better at everything else i need to do in a day. I am happier, I sleep[ better., I perform better at my job, i hav more energy, and i am more patient with my family. Additionally, i see Siwicki Fitness members in class who are 20 years older than me who are strong and agile and look amazing. I want to keep getting stronger and modeling health and fitness for my kids for decades to come!
Hobbies:
Driving my kids to their practices and swim meets, soccer matches, field hockey games, track meets or cross country races and cheering for them from the sidelines as they compete. I love seeing them challenge themselves and develop their own love of fitness and a healthy lifestyle.
“One year of working out with Siwicki fitness has made me physically and mentally stronger than I have ever been. As a mom of six kids and owner of a home staging business, my free time is extremely limited. My day is filled communicating with clients, hauling furniture, driving kids to activities, and managing our busy household. However, I am a better mom and worker when I make time to take four of Jacob’s classes each week. It’s four hours out of every week that I don’t have to think or plan, I just follow Jacob’s lead.
Although I occasionally take a recorded Siwicki fitness class, I find my workouts are much more effective when I take a live class. When I am not pushing myself, Jacob tells me “Rachael, you can go faster” or “Rachael, you can get lower”. If my form breaks down, Jacob corrects my technique so I get the most out of every workout. I thought I would miss the gym community while working out at home. However, the Siwicki Fitness community is a great group that pushes and encourages each other. Jacob makes every participant feel welcomed and challenged in every class, regardless of their fitness level. I recommend Siwicki fitness for anyone who wants to get stronger and healthier this year!”
