TRAINERS.....

Rachel Batista aka Pnut

I live and breathe Crossfit... and as a Crossfit trainer, I am committed to helping my clients excel and become unquestionably fit - with their own unique path in becoming capable of handling whatever life throws them.

After two children, I was overweight and very unhappy. So I started training for a fitness competition. Through Hardcore Fitness and the guidance & motivation of Adriana, and using competing as my goal, I lost over 100lbs.  I won 1st place in 2 out 3 fitness competitions and qualified for the NPC National Fitness Competition. I became strong and learned respect for the weight-loss process.  During my journey I found my real passion; motivating and teaching others to save their own life, the same way I was taught how to do it for myself.
