Rachel Potter

My name is Rachel Potter, a San Francisco, California native I now live in Tulsa, OK and teach group exercise. Growing up I struggled with my weight, and although I was a high school athlete (Cheerleading and Basketball), I was never able to perform to my full potential due to poor dietary choices of a typical teenager. When I was 20, fitness began to consume me and became such a top priority. I decided to make it a career. After studying Kinesiology at San Jose State in CA, I decided to move to Oklahoma to finish my degree at Oklahoma State Universit. It was here my passion for teaching grew. I’ve been teaching spin for 4 years and since I’ve been in Tulsa, I have added BodyPump®, BodyCombat® and water aerobics as well as bootcamp and mutiple freestyle formats to my resume. I have also been a personal fitness trainer since 2007. I finished my degree by interning at the National Institute for Fitnesss and Sport in Indianapolis, IN. the internship was a valuable experience that showed me the many different styles of group exercise as well as the different populations and facets of the industry. In my free time I love to travel, play sports, scuba dive and spend time with friends and family. Having my degree in Exercise Science, I continually strive to constantly widen my knowledge about fitness as well as nutrition.
