She’s a former PR girl turned fitness guru. Meet Claudette, the high-five you can count on in class and the coach you can rely on to make sure you’re not breaking form.

A Nashville expat, Claudette brings a touch of Southern hospitality and refreshing candor to New York City’s fitness scene. She’s somehow become best friends with the regulars in class and can be down for a 6am workout the same way she’d be down for a few rounds at happy hour.

Originally brought to the city in 2016 by the allure of flashing lights, and intoxicating promise of bylines and partnerships, Claudette pursued an eight-year career in wellness and lifestyle public relations. In doing so, she’s built a growing community of like-minded people and brands—those obsessed with having fun while making health-conscious decisions.

Fast forward to 2023, and Claudette has locked in her fitness certifications to deliver top-notch workout programs and nutrition guidance to her clients, both in-person and online. She currently serves as a full-time instructor and personal trainer for Life Time, and an exercise specialist for Hearst Tower.

When asked about what she has planned for the future? Well, we’ll let you ask her yourself. :)
