“Since I have been training with Raquel, I have to say she’s the best personal and running trainer ever! She always push me and motivate me even when I don’t feel like exercising. She’s also one of the most sweetest and thoughtful person I have ever met and I feel lucky to know her."
Angelique
“It’s been an absolute pleasure training with Raquel for the past 3 years, every single session has been engaging, rewarding and fun! Raquel is extremely knowledgeable about fitness, but it’s her commitment to each individual person she trains that really sets her apart. Her motivation and encouragement is very powerful – Raquel helped me prepare for a marathon and I wouldn’t have been able to cross the finish line without all her coaching and support. I would 100% recommend training with Raquel. "
Ingrid
“Raquel’s is not only a great coach but is also inspiring. She irradiates positive energy in everything she does! You want someone that guides you on your fitness but also to show you how to do it and sweet next to you. And she will ! I have become a big fan of her running packages. When I started I could barely run 3km but after some running packages and track field sessions (specially designs to improve your running technique) I end it up running half a marathon! I couldn’t recommend her more!"
