Rachel is an experienced Personal Trainer with Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications in Personal Training, Nutrition, Exercise Therapy and Long Term Conditions.

“I’ve always been into fitness and leading a healthy lifestyle. I’m a massive cheerleader for everyone to adopt a healthier lifestyle and include activity in their lives, regardless of their abilities. I will always find a way to adapt activities to suit the person I work with.

In addition to running my own business I currently work for NHS Highland delivering their Living Well programme. This is an exercise referral programme for people living with long-term conditions  who need significant support to exercise. Through this programme I have worked with a variety of conditions and watched people flourish and grow in confidence as they realise they can do more than they thought possible.

I am currently studying:

  • Diploma in intrinsic biomechanics coaching
  • Level 4 sports massage
  • Level 4 PT
  • Menopause and women’s health

As a Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer in Lochgilphead and member of the National Register, Rachel has access to training and resources that can help you manage your Parkinson’s, slow progression, improve symptoms and feel better.
 

About the National Register of Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainers

 
The Register is run by 4D Life in partnership with Parkinson’s UK and supported by CIMSPA, Fitpro and Cure Parkinson’s. We connect with the Parkinson’s community through local NHS Neuro Rehab teams, Parkinson’s UK local representatives, local charities and online advertising. Our goal is to make it possible for anyone diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the UK to work with a fully qualified and experienced, Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer should they wish to. Exercise is still the only method of slowing the progression of Parkinson’s. There is as yet no medication that can do this. The right exercise, nutrition and lifestyle can significantly improve your journey living with Parkinson’s, slowing progression, improving symptoms and making you feel better.
