Rachel McCollum

COACH

Bio

Rachel grew up playing multiple team sports through to high school graduation, and went on to play rugby in university. After spending her early career living a relatively sedentary lifestyle, she discovered CrossFit in 2015 and it changed her life in the best way. Walking into a new gym can be intimidating, but the community focus and programming scalability of CrossFit made an immense difference. CrossFit also introduced her to Olympic lifting, which she competed in for two years. She went on to complete her L1 coaching certificate in 2018 and her L2 in 2026.

Most importantly she learned that what happens inside the gym truly helps you thrive outside of it. Since discovering CrossFit, Rachel now spends her time outside the gym enjoying the outdoors as much as possible - mostly through hiking, camping, mountain biking, and snowboarding.

As a coach, Rachel focuses heavily on promoting proper technique and form and loves seeing the community have fun and progress while cheering each other on.
