You’re looking for a qualified coach to give you ongoing personalized guidance.

A word from happy clients…

Having you as my coach to prescribe me macros and exercise plans to follow really helps me stay on track and keeps me motivated! Best investment I’ve made.

Nuvi P.

I am very pleased with the mental and physical progress I’m making. I was hesitant about what I could expect from working with a coach/trainer but it has really been an enlightening and rewarding process to go through. I enjoy the strength gains, but I like the mental gains even better! The mental progress I’ve made is priceless and so liberating.

Sara R.

The flexibility has been fantastic and my stress in regards to my nutrition has been so manageable.

Rachel Pendakur

MA, CSCS, CPPC

Rachel Pendakur grew up near Portland, Oregon, but has lived in San Diego since 2010. She holds a B.A. in Psychology as well as a B.A. in Music, and has her M.A. in Psychological Science. Rachel came to love strength training during her high school years. During her college years, she neglected proper training until an injury prompted her to seek out professional help with rehabilitation. The process of recovering from an injury, as well as improving form to prevent future problems, reignited her love of training and prompted her to continue learning. Since her Masters program began, her research areas of interest have centered heavily on health psychology as well as habit formation and methods of increasing adherence. She is passionate about educating and partnering with individuals who want to reach and sustain their goals. Rachel jumped at the chance to work with Sohee as an in-person training client in the Spring of 2018, and has since consistently enjoyed the style of training that is integral to the ELT Method. She not only has greatly benefitted from Sohee’s mentorship, but has also seen a huge amount of training progress using an approach focused on moderation and sustainability. She is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA-CSCS). During her free time, she runs a private piano studio where she uses her classical performance background to train children and adults of all ages. She also loves to try new San Diego restaurants, go on walks and hikes, or just relax with her dog and a good book. Get to know her better on Instagram: @rpendakur

Natalie Fay

MS, CSCS, CPPC

Natalie Fay was born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she still calls home today with her husband and three children. She has her Master of Science (M.S.) in Exercise Science, with a concentration in health and wellness. While attending the University of South Florida in 2019, Natalie had the opportunity to be involved in research and focused on the scientific evidence surrounding fat loss, body composition, and the psychological aspects of exercise. It was in 2014, five years prior, that she started traditional strength training after decades of a tumultuous relationship with her body and exercise. Throughout her younger life, Natalie was heavily involved in dance, ballet, running, yoga, and kickboxing. After struggling with body image and confidence issues, it was strength training that changed her life and she decided it was her purpose to help change the lives of others. Natalie initially competed in NPC bikini bodybuilding division, but quickly realized the dangers of this approach and way of life. Now she approaches training and nutrition in a sustainable manner, just as she does with her clients. In 2022, Natalie became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA-CSCS) after becoming a certified personal trainer through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) in 2019. Through real-life experience and education, Natalie is committed to being an integral part of a person’s journey toward sustainable change. As a busy mom of 3 herself, she very much understands how fitness should be practical and flexible. In addition to getting stronger, training has played an important role in her hypothyroidism and PCOS management. In her spare time, Natalie enjoys traveling and spending time with her family, two pups, and crazy cat. Get to know her better on Instagram: @natalie_fay__
