Sandra's Story
She has lost over 80lbs!
"I’ve been a member of Inner Fit since 2011 and I can definitely say you will not find another fitness studio like this anywhere. All the coaches have been amazing and the community is so supportive and friendly. The online program has been a savior for me during the closures both mentally and physically, plus it has helped me to drop over 80+ pounds since January 2021. I’m so grateful that I found Rachel, her studio, and her community as it has changed my life and love for fitness."
The Road Map Workshop
Your Personalized Path to Success!
At the core of our 16-week challenge is the Road Map Workshop, designed to set you up for success right from the start. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure of where to begin, or stuck in a cycle of starting and stopping, this workshop is the solution. This workshop will be online for everyone to join in!
Inner Fit's Big Move!
Your Registration is Making a Big Difference
Wow, can you believe Inner Fit has been going strong since 2007? And as a community we have accomplished so much together. We have raised over $200,000 for local charities. We have moved a few times. We survived 4 long years of a uncertainty during the pandemic including 6 government mandated shut downs. And we learned to pivot and come together in challenging times.
And here we are again, facing what we hope will be our last big pivot due to a real estate market out of control. In March of this year, we have one more big change coming and that is moving studios. As the owner of Inner Fit, I decided staying at a place and having our rates double didn't make sense.
With a move comes even more expenses, and as a small business, it can be the difference between closing down, or choosing to keeping going.
I have decided to take a big leap of faith in the Inner Fit community and the community of Richmond and trust this process that we were meant to move and with your help, we can make this happen.
But, true to form, I also want to keep us active and focused on our fitness goals too, so the challenge registration fee will go towards the renovations. This help us all stay focused on our goals, healthy, and active in the next 16 weeks.
You not only get to be part of helping keep the Inner Fit doors open and going strong, but you also get accountability, focus, and a fun challenge too!
Let's Make this an EPIC 16 Weeks full of fitness, fun, memories, with a new studio to call home thanks to you!

Richard's Story
Lost 25 lbs & A Changed Outlook with the Inner Fit Challenge
"A change in behaviour is the manifestation of a change in mindset. Sometimes these changes come internally, but usually we need an external motivator - something to push us, to hold us accountable, and to provide a community to support the hard work that we know, deep down, is needed. An InnerFit Challenge provides all of these in the best way possible. I have recently completed the 75 Day Challenge and noticed significant changes to my physical appearance, self-perception, mental health, and outlook on food. I dropped 25 pounds but more importantly have changed my outlook. It's been life changing and I feel deep gratitude to the InnerFit community, the other challenge participants, and Rachel for providing this opportunity. I would wholeheartedly recommend a challenge to anyone who wants to improve their fitness, feel healthier, reevaluate their relationship with food, become more intentional with their lifestyle, and maybe drop a few pounds in the process." - Richard E
Aaron's Goal Story
A Sense of Pride & 22 Lbs Lost with the Inner Fit Challenge
"I set out to make some big some changes in 2024, so I turned to Rachel and the coaches at Innerfit to help me with my fitness goals.
A whole year can be a daunting to plan so Rachel suggested splitting my year into quarters and join Innerfit’s January Challenge.
"With Rachel’s weekly guidance, nutrition advice and the variety of classes offered at the studio, I was able exceed my 1st quarter goal of a 10% reduction in body weight. I’m down a total of 22 pounds in 75 days! Super happy and primed for quarter 2 and the 12-week challenge."

Testimonials from Rachel's Clients
Louesa
When I first joined Inner Fit I was nervous and unsure, afraid that I was too out of shape to even begin working out. That changed the moment I met Rachel, her outgoing and warm personality scooped me in and she gave me all the confidence I lacked. As I joined my first class Rachel introduced me to the other members, helping me to quickly become part of the community. I joined and saw great results, thanks to the motivation and supports created by Rachel. Each week Rachel encouraged me to check in with my "why", my reason for joining the program and goals I had set for myself. Rachel helped me to set achievable but challenging goals for myself, and her encouragement helped me believe that it was actually possible. I started seeing results within the first two weeks and could feel my strength increasing with each workout. Even though a virtual platform, Rachel was able to offer encouraging feedback, making sure my form was correct and ensuring that I was moving safely and getting the most out of each exercise. Throughout the program, Rachel helped me to lose 25 lbs and develop habits for healthy living, which I have continued to maintain, long after the 16-week program began. If you need a coach who is skilled, energetic, supportive and kind, Rachel is the one for you.
Nicole
I first started taking Rachel’s classes when I was 16 years old and knew nothing about weightlifting. Rachel made the classes more than enjoyable, and I quickly became comfortable in the gym thanks to her experienced guidance. Rachel really made me feel welcomed and confident despite any lack of experience! Whether you are looking to get comfortable and confident in the gym, or are looking for an energetic and challenging workout, I would really recommend trying one of Rachel’s programs. She brings great energy to each and every workout and puts together programs that will leave you feeling awesome! Her abundant knowledge of and experience within the fitness industry is clearly implemented in what she does. I have learned a ton from her! All in all, Rachel is a great coach and I’m certain anyone who has taken her class would say so!
Amanda Fu
Rachel Seay is an amazing coach. She is engaging, uplifting and inspiring. Her classes are fun and she is full of energy. Lucky to have her as a coach!!!
Stephanie
Ever since lifting weights, as part of a regular exercise routine with Rachel, I feel stronger, more confident and have fewer aches and pain. Rachel guides you through lifting weights in a strategic way that brings strength and mobility to your life and well-being. She is always keeping in mind your form and technique to ensure your safety. She is so easy and comfortable to work with and so motivating you will definitely be engaged in working out in a stronger way using weights.
Melanie
Who would have guessed when I walked into Inner Fit 10 years ago that I’d be in it for the long haul? But here I am today, still going strong. I joined the 16 Week Weight Loss Boot Camp hoping to lose weight and get into shape. Inner Fit has certainly lived up to my hopes and then some. Rachel has created a program where everyone feels welcome, is pushed to their own limits, and is cheered on by all. She provides upbeat workouts that continually change, push us in different ways, and keeps coming back for more. What started as a short-term goal has turned into a life-long change, as I can’t even imagine a week without attending several Inner Fit workouts. Even during this time of COVID, Inner Fit has been an ongoing lifeline of normalcy. Rachel has altered her programs so we can all attend from afar through live or recorded online classes. I can’t imagine not having had fitness during this pandemic. Rachel has created a supportive, energetic, welcoming, dynamic, life-changing fitness center, and community where people encourage each other. If you’re wondering if I should join, stop wondering and try it out. You’ll be glad you did!
Denise
Denise's Story is a bit different. She came to us after she lost her weight and used the program to keep the weight off and has done so for over 10 years and still going strong. Here is what Denise had to say. "I have lost and kept off 90 pounds through the weight loss boot camps, fitness challenges, and support of the community. I can honestly say that this community has met and exceeded every expectation I had and some that I didn’t know I had! Rachel and her coaches are encouraging, supportive, and above all, knowledgeable. Rachel has a wealth of knowledge that she willingly shares, and the classes are easily adapted to meet you at your fitness level I also discovered that I have a genuine love of fitness and strength training and have tried things I never would have had I not joined this community. I can honestly say that I owe this newfound active lifestyle to the coaches and the community of Inner Fit Studios."
Verena
Coach Rachel makes strength training accessible, simple, and fun! She has the best energy and always ensures each "move" has options for every person, no matter their ability.
Jeremy
After working all day, even with my best intentions, I was never able to stick to a workout plan. After joining the Inner Fit Studios, I found I looked forward to working out with energetic instructors and the fun people in my classes. Being in the program with other people who became friends, helped make the classes something I looked forward to instead of the lonely dread of the gyms. I would highly recommend any Inner Fit program for anyone who is looking to lose weight in a fun environment with lots of encouragement and laughter.
Larrie H
It's wonderful to meet someone who has the ability to strengthen your mind, body and confidence all in one. Rachel delivers her classes in the most candid and professional way. Her words are always powerful yet kind, direct yet gentle - exactly what everyone needs to motivate themselves to be better. It takes more than just a great program to keep going. It's also the sincerity of the person behind it. Rach has both.
