Meet Rachele
Hi! I’m Rachele (pronounced like Rachel, not Rachelle), the owner of Obstacle Fitness. I started this business to bring the energy and excitement of obstacle course challenges to everyday events—so more people can experience that “I can’t believe I just did that!” moment.
In 2018, after being laid off from my corporate job, I finally had the space to explore something I’d been thinking about for years—starting my own business.
A visit to an obstacle course gym sparked the idea, and with a lot of support (and a little leap of faith), Obstacle Fitness was born.
When I’m not running Obstacle Fitness, I’m usually with my family—my husband Aaron, our two daughters, and our very energetic crew of pets. I also love puzzles, reality TV, and anything that helps me unwind after a busy day.
That same love of fun, challenge, and connection is what I bring into every program I create.
Obstacle Fitness’ Evolution
Obstacle Fitness officially launched in 2019, but it’s evolved a lot since then. What started as adult-focused events quickly expanded as I saw how powerful movement-based experiences could be for kids, schools, and communities.
When COVID hit, large events disappeared overnight—but the need for movement didn’t. I pivoted to smaller, outdoor programs for kids, and that shift helped shape the business into what it is today.
Today, Obstacle Fitness offers flexible, high-energy programming for schools, camps, parties, and events. I’m always exploring new ideas and audiences—so if you’ve got something in mind, I’d love to hear it.
My Programming Approach
Obstacle Fitness is about more than just fun—it’s about helping people surprise themselves. Whether it’s a kid, a teen, or an adult, I design experiences that build confidence through movement and challenge.
I focus less on competition and more on effort, discovery, and that moment when someone realizes they can do something they didn’t think they could. That feeling lasts longer than any score or stopwatch.
Along with an MBA, I hold a Master’s in Health Communication, where I focused on behavior change. That perspective shapes how I design programs—meeting people where they are and helping them grow from there.
