RACHEL LEBLANC-BAZINET

Rachel has been an athlete from a very young age. Her sporting background is broad, from gymnastics to hockey, to soccer and even snowboarding, to then discovering CrossFit and finding her passion as a weightlifter. Rachel has been a member of the national team since 2016 and has taken part in 3 worlds championships, finishing 8th in 2019. Rachel came 3rd in the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and has also competed in 3 Pan-American championships finishing 5th in 2019. Rachel holds 2 national records in the 55kg weight division with a 91kg snatch and 201kg total. 

Rachel’s exposure to competitive sports from an early age has not only helped to shape a healthy lifestyle but has lead to a tremendous acquisition of knowledge in respect to nutrition, particularly in relation to performance. As an elite athlete a well-balanced, nutrient-dense diet has been essential in ensuring peak performance, support recovery and diminish the risk of injuries. Most recently, Rachel has indulged her curiosity in what works best for her by experimenting with different styles of eating. She understands that what works for one person, may not work for another and also that as our bodies evolve, it may be necessary to adjust the way we eat to help maintain that balance in our bodies. The knowledge Rachel has acquired through her studies, working with her gym members & conducting her own self-experimentation has given her an extensive skillset in supporting her clients and giving them a vast array of tools to succeed.
