Rachel-Jennifer Joson is an entrepreneur of fitness, health and wellness and is based in Calgary, AB. She is a mother of three, and is well known for her work as a successful mind and body fitness transformation coach. She is a Certified Personal Trainer, a Nutrition and Weight Loss Specialist, a Certified Reiki Practitioner and is currently undergoing a Clinical Hypnotherapy Certification program.
After tragically becoming a widow and single mother at 28, this stay-at-home mom decided that she was going to rebuild her life to inspire her children and be the best role model that she could possibly be for them. With that being said she created goals for herself which started with committing to a fitness competition to get her mental and physical health back on track and to get her body to the best it had ever been.
Rachel’s ambition brought her to receiving top placings in her fitness competitions which eventually earned her a Pro Card in Montreal in 2013. Since then her career has taken off and she has gone to compete in World Pro competitions, she has been featured in multiple online websites and print magazines such as “most inspirational moms”, top 100 hottest fitness models in the world in both “Inside Fitness” Magazine and “Status Fitness” Magazine. Rachel’s most recent accomplishment was landing her very first cover in Australia’s “Women’s Health & Fitness” magazine last March of 2015.
With her new found happiness, and her passion for life to help others she started her own business with a partner in 2013. She created a private personal training studio where she could use her personal life experiences and successes to inspire other men and women to transform their lives. Her goal was not only to transform their bodies but also to help people gain their confidence back, promote self-love and happiness.
