Rachel Bates
Rachel wears a few hats here at Creed Athens, serving as a coach, personal trainer and our social media director! She is a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and has always had a love for sports (particularly soccer), fitness and health. After graduating from the University of Georgia, she spent 2 years living in Thailand where she got plugged into a gym community similar to Creed that really pushed her in her own personal fitness journey and gave her the desire to help others in theirs.
Rachel is married to Austin and they moved back to the Classic City November 2021 to start Creed Athens with her brother, Adam! Her biggest fitness achievement is probably finishing the Ironman 70.3 in Memphis last fall but now she is enjoying focusing more on strength training and Creed workouts.
Her favorite part about coaching at Creed? “I love coaching at Creed because of the people I get to meet, the community here is just incredible! I also love getting to be a part of people working towards their goals and seeing improvements in their fitness and overall health!”
