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 ten years, Rachel has pursued her passions by teaching group fitness classes, and serving as a personal fitness instructor in local communities throughout Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo.
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 exclusively offers virtual services with hopes of returning to some in-person experiences when it is safe to do so. Although she misses the real life connections, she feels she is still able to connect through the screen to her community that is now all across the world.
“When you pour your heart and soul into what you love, remarkable things happen. I sometimes think my clients give me more in return than I can ever teach them. I am inspired to continue to grow and learn not only as a coach but as a person each and every day.”
About The Community
mission: to foster a community of women by generating awareness for positive fitness habits, self-care rituals, and confidence for everyday life.
vision: to lead women on a path of self-discovery through fitness.
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.
The best part of Discover You is that there is a community to help you reach your goals. Everyone has the opportunity to learn from one another, confide in each other, and find a tribe that pushes you to new heights. My hope is that Discover You is that place for you to come to work on improving your life holistically while building a stronger relationship with yourself and those around you.
