Emily Bach

As a certified health coach in Richmond, VA, Emily brings a background in health, fitness, and exercise science.

She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor of Science in physical education and exercise science and is an ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist and ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor. 

Her passion for helping others and building meaningful connections led her to health coaching at PartnerMD, where she establishes a supportive environment for patients to build sustainable habits and work towards their goals.

Emily takes a proactive approach with her patients, starting with the knowledge and strengths they already have and building from there. 

Whether a patient is on a weight loss journey or looking to improve their exercise routine, Emily takes the time to understand their individual needs and determine what will work best for them. 

"I want to expand on what they already know and what they're already good at, while also giving them my knowledge and background to help them be even more successful," she says. "It's that added little spark that maybe they didn't get somewhere else."

Fitness is also an important part of her life outside of health coaching. She teaches group cycling and Pilates classes and enjoys challenging herself in her own fitness routine.

One of Emily's favorite parts of working with patients is seeing them make progress and reach milestones they once thought they couldn't. To her, that is the true definition of strength. 

"My biggest thing is focusing on where you started and came from. Sometimes we get lost in the day-to-day, but pulling the lens back a bit can help you see where you began and create even more motivation."
