Rachel Pendakur lives in San Diego, CA, and has been a coach on the ELT Method team since 2019. Rachel started strength training on a whim in high school and was immediately hooked, kicking off an ongoing love of getting stronger in the gym. Although her first experiences in the weight room were overwhelmingly positive, she noted substantial challenges through her college years and early 20s as she maneuvered diet culture messaging and her relationship with food and exercise. Her struggles ultimately reignited her love for strength training and prompted her to continue learning and teaching. Now, she is passionate about educating and partnering with individuals who want to reach and sustain their goals with a comprehensive view of health in mind, no matter their fitness level.
Rachel holds an M.A. in Psychological Science, and her research areas of interest have centered heavily on health psychology as well as behavior change and adherence to health-promotion behaviors. From both research and practice, Rachel knows that people most often need help with behavior change execution, whether they want to focus their coaching on a physique goal, performance goal, body image work, or simply on general health improvements and quality of life. She firmly believes that fitness should be a positive addition to your life; not an all-consuming endeavor.
Her coaching approach emphasizes client autonomy, and sustainable change supporting long-term benefits. In addition to hitting the gym in her free time, she also loves to try new San Diego restaurants, go on walks and hikes, or just relax with her dog and a good book. Certifications & Training: NSCA-CSCS, *D, CPCC, GGS-1, Binge Eating Essentials for Health Professionals (BBE), Behavior Change & MI (Stages of Change), B.A. Music, B.A. Psychology

“Keep the exercise momentum going with fun, flexible, realistic workouts that fit your life.”
“Back after several months off and want to say how much easier it is to jump right back in because of this program. Didn’t have to think, didn’t have to plan, just had to show up. It’s so great to have a program I can rely on that’s also enjoyable to show up for.”
“This is only my second month but I’m loving the workouts and how they fit into my life. I am glad there is a new workout each month because I am the type of person who gets bored easily with workouts. I’m just wondering, does anyone go back and redo the older workouts? Just thinking in a few months it might be fun to go back and see if I can do more than before.”
“I have had so much transition in my life over the last few months and l am posting to say how grateful I am for the 30 minute workouts. It has kept me consistent through my only child’s high school graduation, a move to a new city, new job, the sale of my home and living on my own in a new apartment until my husband can come join me in the fall and my son leaves for college. I don’t know what I would do without these workouts. I’m seeing great progress even with the limited time crunch 3x per week. I love it and this is brilliant planning by Sohee and her team.”
