Racheal has been dancing since she was a young girl in Christchurch. Starting with years of Ballet and Modern Jazz, she discovered partner dancing on moving to Wellington for University and went on to establish Full Swing, one of Wellingtons largest adult dance schools. While travelling in 2012 Racheal found Xtend Barre and AntiGravity Fitness and loved them! After attending training in Melbourne later that same year, she was absolutely delighted to become New Zealand’s first Xtend Barre instructor and bring the comprehensive programme home to her clients, quickly followed by Pilates and AntiGravity. Her greatest enjoyment has been seeing complete beginners gain a sense of body awareness, strength and control all whilst shaping their bodies. “Dancing is one of the greatest joys of life, a freedom in connecting body, mind and soul that is accessible to everyone. Why would you chose to exercise any other way?”
