About The Founder

 

Rachel Fackoury

Rachel is a vibrant and energetic trainer, whose vision is to lead women on a path of self-discovery through fitness.

Her passion for personal fitness, health and wellness is rooted in a love of sport, which ultimately led her to pursue an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and play on their varsity field hockey team.

In the past twelve years, Rachel has pursued her passions by teaching group fitness classes, and serving as a personal fitness instructor in local communities throughout Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto.

From a young age, Rachel was involved in a variety of sports. Dance, gymnastics, cross country and track, soccer, volleyball and field hockey - you name it, she played it.

When it came time to select a field of study, kinesiology was an obvious choice. Originally having her sights set on becoming a dentist, fitness instructing and personal training began only as a summer job. 

As Rachel developed and grew her own fitness classes, she quickly realized that she not only saw remarkable improvements in people’s physical strength, but their mental health and well-being too!

Having a career that allowed her to be involved in igniting positive change in another person’s life is something she never knew could have existed.

From then on, Rachel has been devoted to helping people lead their best lives and become their best self.

Rachel now offers both in-person and virtual services, reaching not only her local community, but clients across the country and world.

 

 

About The Community 

Discover You was created from my own personal experience through movement.  Throughout high school and university I struggled with anxiety.  Exercise was my medicine. Through movement, I was able to leave my worries at the door, train, and then approach whatever problems I was having with a clear mind.  During the last few years I have really understood how impactful a well-rounded, healthy life can be.  It is not only one component but all aspects of our lives that lead us to being the best version of ourselves we can be.

Discover You Fitness Philosophies

  • If you have a body, you are an athlete - in sport, or in life

  • Make the movement work for you, not the other way around

  • Find JOY in movement and choose to move your body in ways that excite you

  • Movement is for all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels

  • Choose movement based on how it makes you feel rather than what you think it will make you look like

  • Your body is the least important thing about you
