ONYXstrong!

I would recommend Racheal Blankenship as a trainer to anyone and everyone. She genuinely cares to see improvement in me and in all of her clients. She always has a positive attitude. Her upbeat personality motivates beyond measure. Her enthusiasm pushes me and her clients to work hard and challenge themselves. Her own weight-loss and fitness achievements help us to believe her, trust her, and use her as a role model. She readily answers exercise-related questions and gives workout ideas for working with specific muscle groups and/or full-body techniques. If she thinks we can safely handle more weight or another ten reps, she urges us to go for it. She continually checks up on our progress and gives constructive criticism along with supportive and motivating words. She is FUN! She is full of vim and vigor which is what most people are looking for when it comes to a trainer. Racheal is an asset to anyone she trains.

So, Miss Racheal is awesome as a trainer and a person. As far as training, it’s always something different and challenging. And if you think you need more of a push, just ask and she is on it. Other than the physical training, I think she is so encouraging, always checking to see how we are doing. Fun-loving, full of life girl.   LOVE HER❤️❤️❤️

Racheal is a positive upbeat motivating trainer. She pushed me out of my comfort zones to hit my goals every time. She is the best!!

Having been training with Miss Racheal for the last three months. I appreciate her knowledge and the unique way she customizes workout specialties to each individual. She trains her clients using her knowledge of nutrition, stretching, strength and is able to motivate her clients. I highly recommend her and will continue to train with her in the future.

I have been training with Racheal for 2 1/2 years. At first I was skeptical about paying extra for personal training because it is very expensive. However, after my first trial session, I knew it was what I needed at this point in my life. Racheal has held me accountable with my exercise regimen AND my food intake. She always mixes up the training sessions and truly cares about all of her clients. She is a very positive person. She is willing to help her clients and will go the extra mile for them!

I’ve suffered from lower back pain for 5 years. I had been diagnosed with a compressed disk and a pinched nerve. I’d been to a chiropractor, physical therapy, massage therapy, and even had epidural injections. Nothing was getting me any lasting relief. Throughout all of this I’d tried training on my own, swimming, elliptical, weight lifting, walking, but everything I tried only ended up irritating my back more. In July of 2019 I decided to try personal training at Onyx as a last resort before giving in to what seemed like enviable lower back surgery. I started working with Racheal in hopes of rehabbing and straightening my back and maybe relieving some of my pain. Racheal designed a workout plan for me that would do exactly that. Within just a few weeks my back pain was gone, and I felt stronger than I’d felt in 20 years. Thank you Racheal for giving me a new lease on life!

I had Gastric bypass surgery 1/16/19 I was 240lbs. My journey hasn’t been easy. I’ve had a few complications in the very beginning but they were fixed.  I’m so incredibly blessed that I have a second chance at life. I’ve started going back to the gym and I love it. I love everything about it. I have the most amazing trainer, Jose Castillo, who pushes me and helps me to keep myself accountable and when you walk in you automatically feel like family.  These people that I’ve met along my journey have literally saved my life and I can’t thank them enough.

I signed up today. I’ve followed Jose Castillo on IG for some time now. His story and his work ethic is what has drawn me to join this club. I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to working out!!! He has welcomed me with open arms and what’s to help me achieve my weight loss goals. I’m very excited for this journey with him and the Onyx family!!!!! I highly recommend him to everyone who is seeking accountability and health wellness!!!

I’ve been with Nate for years! He is so amazing and sweet and genuinely cares about his people. Everyone is very nice and helpful.

Nate is amazing, he is a motivator and the change in my physique is amazing.
