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 founding on-camera instructor for at-home fitness brand Sole Fitness, a fitness coach for Australian-founded F45 Training, and an exercise specialist for investment banking company Goldman Sachs.

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