Rachel had to close her fitness business in lockdown and so decided to livestream weekly pilates classes on YouTube to keep people feeling motivated and fit. Rachel saw her channel surge from 3,000 to over 110,000 subscribers and she has now decided to harness this success for a good cause.

Rachel said: "I wanted to do something good with the positive change this has brought me and thought why not use the power of our new online connections to help our armed forces community when they need it most."

After the workout Rachel will stay online for a live Q & A where and she has invited people to share stories of friends and family, those who are with us and those who are gone who served their country in the Wars.

All the funds from this video will be donated to the Royal British Legion Charity Poppy Appeal 2021.
