An influencer famous for her inspiring fitness posts has died, leaving behind five children.<\/p>\n

Bodybuilder and fitness coach Raechelle Chase, who had 1.4 million followers of her health and fitness content on Facebook, passed away earlier this month. Her cause of death has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

The fitness influencer competed in a number of fitness events, including being the first New Zealand woman to compete in a figure Olympia bodybuilding event in 2011. She also appeared on 14 magazine covers and worked as a fitness coach and mentor to others.<\/p>\n

Raechelle\u2019s death sparked an outpouring of tributes from family and friends, including her eldest daughter Anna Chase.<\/p>\n

'She was supportive, kind-hearted and always had the best advice for us. She was a wildly driven woman with ambition and has inspired millions of people around the world', she wrote, according toStuff. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She added \u201cI miss her immensely and that love won't ever fade\u201d. Friend Keith O'Connell described her death as \u201cso sudden, so unexpected\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot going to lie, very few things in my life hit me as hard as your passing… You had so much left to live. So much love to give,\u201d he wrote earlier this month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were, still are, and always will be one of the kindest beautiful souls I will ever have experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post shared shortly before her death, Raechelle wrote about overcoming setbacks in life, writing; \u201cGrowth can be painful, change can be painful but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don\u2019t belong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raechelle leaves behind five children, who she had been raising as a single mother following a split from her husband following fourteen years together in 2015.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In an article about leaving a "toxic relationship", she wrote : \u201cI am now raising my children alone, even though in hindsight I was all along anyway. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd honestly, even though I'm nearly nine months pregnant with soon to be two babies and a total of five children, I feel the most confident and empowered I have felt in a very long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy confidence is slowly coming back and I am now able to start making positive goals and plans for myself and my children's future. My kids are also the most happy they have been and maybe the most important point is the example I have set.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
