On behalf of the entire management team, we would love to feature Ainsley Ellington as our Client Spotlight for July! 🎉 Ainsley is a true Pilates Princess with the best workout style and aside from the fact that she always looks flawless pre-8 am, she is ✨SO STRONG✨ and has amazing form!! Ainsley is so warm and kind to everyone she runs into, and our Wash Park community would not be the same without her. We know how challenging owning a small business is (shoutout to The Contour Collection), and we love how dedicated she has been to taking classes regularly over the last 3 years. Thank you for choosing Fierce, Ainsley! 💛💛💛

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce?

   3 years and 2 months!

2. Favorite move on the machine?

   Back curtsy lunge or skater! Give me all the (side) booty work.

3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life?

   Besides meeting amazing people and making wonderful new friends, the transformation in my body has been incredible! I’ve always been passionate about fitness, but Fierce has toned and shaped my body in ways I never thought possible. I feel stronger and energetically fulfilled every time I get off the machine.

4. Why do you choose Fierce over other workouts?

   Because of the shakes! Half kidding, but I truly love Fierce because as the saying goes, it’s hard every single time. Plus, the adaptability is everything – you can modify the workout to fit exactly what your body needs at that moment, no matter what you’re going through physically or mentally.

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

   Oh boy, this one is tough. Before I started Contour Collection, I spent most of my time creating content for my dog, who somehow became an influencer! 😂 Sadly, I no longer have the time to manage his accounts, but it was a fun (and very random) journey while it lasted!

We are thrilled to be featuring Jane Pasciolco as our client of the month in June! Coaches love having her in class and clients adore working out next to her. Jane is so sweet to everyone and she truly brings the sunshine to every class she takes. Jane is a true representation of our core value of positivity and all of our coaches have loved getting to know her over the past year plus.

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45? 

   A year and almost 3 months! 

2. Favorite move on the machine? 

   I LOVE upper body and have been really into serving bicep extension and chest fly combo!

3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life? 

   I’ve learned that we are stronger than we always think! Also, taking 45 or 55 mins out of your day to take a step back and reset has definitely made me become a better person whether it’s through work or social settings.

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout? 

   Fierce always challenges me no matter how many times I’ve done a specific move. I’ve seen my body transform in a way I never thought was possible lol — I can actually see progression on getting abs one day! haha

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

   I love playing beach volleyball, checking out speakeasies and having a solid cocktail (or mocktail depending on the mood), traveling and trying new things!

On behalf of the Fierce management team, we would love to feature our resident Hilltop baddie Maggie as our Client Spotlight for May! Maggie, you truly embody a model Fierce client, you are constantly up-leveling challenging moves, and you create such a fun environment for everyone in class. We often have to refocus the class from laughing at your stories and jokes. You show up ready to kick ass every day with fire transitions and form. We are so lucky to have Maggie as a client; she makes life more fun! 

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45?

   This month, May, will be my 2 year anniversary with Fierce.  

2. Favorite move on the machine? 

   I have a list of favorites (and unfavorites😆); pretty much any move that has planking in it I enjoy. 

3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life?

   Prior to joining Fierce, I did not take time for my health and well-being. Fierce has helped me be accountable to myself and I make sure to take 45 minutes out of my day for class. My husband, kids, boss, and colleagues know not to bother me over lunch!! 

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

   I love the health benefits of Pilates for the mind and body. I have tried other Pilates classes and found them to be boring. At Fierce, the energy is high, the music is loud and the coaches push you to do your best. 

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

   My first job was working retail at Contempo Casuals…IYKYK!

On behalf of the entire management team, we would love to feature Andri as our Client Spotlight for April! 🎉  We love that Andri made the leap from 8x/month to the year unlimited this year and has pushed herself! She is only a couple of classes away from hitting her 100th class – so exciting! Andri always comes into the studio with the warmest smile and friendliest attitude. Truly, she may be the only person in history ever seen smiling in a back carriage lunge. 🫠

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45?

   Since last April

2. What is your favorite move on the machine?

   Carriage lunge or Sprinter — legs for days!

3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life?

   Fierce is a space that helps me decompress from a busy work day and allows me to feel my best mentally and physically. 

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

   I love that it’s a low-impact, full-body workout that I can feel strengthening while still protecting my body.

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

   I have extremely small feet and can fit into kids’ shoes. 🙂

On behalf of the entire management team, we would love to feature Erin Antesberger as our Client Spotlight for March! 🥳 Erin makes every room she enters a brighter, more joyful space – her energy, humor, and ability to lift others up is incredible. We love that she has made Fierce friends and brought the entire early am community a little closer together ♥️ We are so grateful to have Erin as a client!!

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45?

   Almost 2 years!! June will be 2 years.

2. Favorite move on the machine?

   This is a tough one but I think it’s hover crunch or plank to pike (I like pain;))

3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life?

   I have experienced a lot of physical pain from years of running and while I still run, I have found that this routine has made my body stronger. The friendships I have made are the icing on the cake. I look forward to getting up in the dark to see the amazing instructors and the “regulars.” Erin H has become a very close friend and we literally met going to Fierce!

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

   The results are unmatched. I am stronger and FEEL good…plus my clothes fit better!

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

   A fun fact…I am 50% Guyanese! My dad is from South America with ancestors from India. Other than that, Joy and I met teaching at Bar Method in 2008 so I always love that one! Finding friends through fitness is the BEST!

Josalyn is an absolute force to be reckoned with at Fierce and we are truly obsessed. She always shows up for herself, her fellow clients, and coaches in the most real and supportive way possible (her shout-outs to coaches and clients in class are everything)! We LOVE that she is constantly bringing friends to work out, and her firey spirit is adored by all. If you see her in-studio, make sure to congratulate her on hitting 100 classes this past month, too!

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45?

   Since June 2023?!? 

2. Favorite move on the machine?

   Pike!!! Any core work!

3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life?

   Not only has Fierce transformed my body to be in tip-top bikini-ready shape but the coaches and staff make me feel like I am home.  Everyone is always so welcoming and encouraging. I come in 45 minutes every day and it resets not just my body but my mind. I walk out of Fierce ready to conquer anything life throws at me! 

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

   The reformer is such a force to be reckoned with! Just when you think you got the moves (or at least the correct foot 🤪), the coaches throw in a challenge and you go back to the struggle. The struggle is so real—> but so INCREDIBLY satisfying. 

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

   I have a giant baby bear, Akita named Kodiak. He’s a floof and has the best personality! 

For January, we are thrilled to spotlight a loyal Hilltop client of over six years who we love having in class, Mandy Moscatelli! Mandy is truly a badass on and off the machine.🤩 Not only is her form amazing but she is always quick to transition and stay in challenging moves. We are so so so thankful for her willingness to help in chaos but still get back on the reformer and kick ass! 💛

1. How long have you coming to Fierce45?

   My first class at Fierce was Feb 3, 2017. I have been coming consistently since day one! 

2. Favorite move on the machine?

   Plank to Pike is my favorite move, I like feeling the core work and hamstring stretch all at once.

3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life?
   Following a car accident, I have had to deal with neck and back pain. Incorporating Fierce45 into my routine has been transformative for my health. I feel strong and capable of enjoying activities such as skiing with confidence.

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

   Fierce45 stands out among other workouts for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a full-body workout that targets multiple muscle groups. The tangible and visible results I experience make it a standout choice. It easily fits into my hectic schedule with the quick 45-minute sessions. The instructors contribute significantly to the experience, offering expertise and motivation. Lastly, the consistent challenge, it is hard every time!
