Rachel Burnham, from Marietta, OH, grew up as a tap dancer, always drawn to rhythm. When she discovered how POUND combines fitness with rhythm and music, she knew it was the perfect fit for her. After becoming a POUND Pro in March 2015, Rachel fell in love with teaching and became a certified group exercise instructor through ACE and AFAA. Passionate about POUND, she joined the ICON team in 2020, deepening her involvement. As the owner of Rockstar Wellness LLC, a group exercise studio, Rachel creates unforgettable fitness experiences, often featuring a live drummer at special events and always bringing a smile to class. She loves leading POUND Pro Trainings, sharing the excitement and inspiration she felt during her own journey, and empowering new instructors to rock the group fitness world.
What’s the one thing you always tell your class before starting?
My favorite line to leave my class with before the first beat drops in class is “There are no mistakes, only drum solos!”
What’s your go-to music genre?
POUND has really helped expand my musical taste, but I am always a fan of Rock, especially in class!
What is your first POUND memory?
My first POUND memory is my training day. I had never taken a POUND class before. It was love at first strike!
