Episode 35: "Talking to Yourself" w/ Rachel Mariotti

Rachel started her career as a coach working in the fitness industry. She quit her New York City advertising job and switched to personal training and group fitness at a large and highly touted gym, Equinox. Not long after her move to Equinox, she became a top trainer receiving the Fusion Award for being most prolific in personal training and group fitness.

Rachel also has her Masters Degree in Psychology at New York University with a focus in mental health counseling. Her philosophy is that we can only be so well if we take the best care of our body, but forget about our mind. After finishing graduate school, she worked at a psychoanalytic clinic to begin her therapy practice while also continuing private training. She believes that mental health should be approached like an athlete, having discipline, adaptability, and skill.

Rachel has been featured on Good Morning America as a fitness expert, has been named most influential trainer by Womens Health, and is a Mental Health Guide with Athleta’s community brand AthleteWell. She now operates her business doing private personal training and mental health therapy.
