Fitness Programme Creator, Rachel Holmes supports her Fitness community throughout lockdown
Rachel Holmes has been in fitness for over 30 years, creating programmes for Virgin Active, working with Nike and building multiple successful businesses including Choreographytogo Fitness Education.
Rachel is a UK-based fitness business coach and mentor who preaches positivity and inclusiveness. She creates bespoke exercise programs for her nearly 100,000 Facebook followers, while also providing educational webinars for aspiring fitness professionals.
“At age eight, I started a Girls After-School Club from my house — I have always loved building communities,” she said. “I started building my Online business as soon as the option came around. Online and social media has been part of my daily life since its early days; I still find it amazing the people you can reach and network with on the platform.”
When COVID-19 hit, Rachel knew she needed to support her community, so she began experimenting with new formats working with Facebook to engage fans during quarantine and promote a sense of solidarity. Rachel continues to serve her fans with online workouts, nutrition and motivational talks providing a positive focus in these uncertain times; as well as coaching her fitness business group in coming through the other side with a successful fitness business.
Rachel hosts daily Live workouts on Facebook, aimed at engaging viewers who are looking for ways to stay fit and active. Her schedule includes different exercise programs, such as Tabata training, yoga flow, total body HIIT, conditioning masterclasses, and cardio disco. She keeps consistent program time slots, which allows for easier scheduled viewing from her followers. Rachel also builds anticipation for her Lives by using Facebook and Instagram Stories, as well as her WhatsApp chats with supporters, to remind her followers of when to tune in.

“Since quarantine started, I am doubling down on everything,” Holmes said. “Instead of one Live per day, I’m streaming multiple times each day — I can be at home in Nottingham creating workouts in the morning, post about them to my Page, and then go Live and deliver all in a matter of hours!”
As a Mother and Entrepreneur Rachel works tirelessly at all hours of the day to serve her community and is a trail blazer for online fitness business.
