New York Client Spotlight

This month, we are excited to celebrate Danielle Vitucci Raniolo as our Client Spotlight for the month of June! Danielle has crushed over 100 classes (yes, 100!), and her dedication to Fierce45 never goes unnoticed. Her consistency, focus, and drive in every class are so inspiring. We love the energy she brings into the studio — it’s contagious in the best way! Not only does Danielle challenge herself and works hard to perfect her form, but she does it all with a kind heart and a positive attitude that lifts up our entire community. We’re especially inspired by how Danielle embraced the journey of rebuilding both physical strength and mental resilience after having her little ones. She has faced every challenge with grace and determination, and we’re honored to be part of your continued growth.

1. How long have you coming to Fierce45? I have been coming to Fierce45 since they opened in early October! 
2. Favorite move on the machine? My favorite move on the machine is Sprinter and Tabletop Crunch 
3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life? Becoming part of the Fierce fam has been one of the best decisions I made. Although being a mom has been a dream, it can be hard to find time for yourself. I quickly learned that in order for me to take better care of my family, I need to take care of myself too and I’m so grateful that I found such an amazing community to help me feel like myself again and that I am able to set an example of self-care and self-respect for my little ones. 
4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout? Fierce has made me feel stronger than I have in a very long time and I love how every class is a challenge. It’s truly “me time” where I can focus on myself, with no distractions or else!! 
5. Tell us a fun fact about you! Before becoming a full time mom, I worked in Music and Entertainment PR – most recently at iHeartRadio and also as a publicist to some of the artists featured on our class playlists. I love hearing old clients during class because it brings me back to a fun time in my life where I got to do some pretty cool things and work with some pretty cool people like Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers, Dev and more.

This month, we are thrilled to celebrate Melissa Modelson as our Client Spotlight! Melissa is an absolute joy to have in class. Since her very first session, her strength and form have improved tremendously thanks to her hard work, consistency, and perseverance. Even though 6:30 AM isn’t her favorite class time, she still shows up for herself—and for us—which we appreciate more than she knows! Melissa always stays fully engaged, listens closely to coaching cues, and brings a great attitude to every workout. Plus, she’s always ready to laugh at Coach Nat’s jokes (even when they’re a little questionable 🤭😂). We are so grateful to have Melissa as part of our community!

1. How long have you coming to Fierce45? I joined in late October, and I started coming regularly in December.
2. Favorite move on the machine? Any of the arm movements since I feel like my arms are my weakest part (except for the underhand ones off the back – those are painful!)
3. How has Fierce made a positive impact on your life? I feel stronger than I ever have before, and it’s the part of my day that I most look forward to.  It’s a peaceful (and painful) 45 minutes where I don’t worry about anything else but balancing and holding on.  And it’s somehow made me into a morning person with the 6:30 classes! 
4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout? It’s a full body workout that I can get done and dusted (as Nat says) within 45 minutes.  I’ve always loved doing Pilates and when I heard about Fierece45, it was described as “Pilates on steroids” which just sounded right up my alley.  And the environment has been so friendly and welcoming! 
5. Tell us a fun fact about you! I have a face full of metal due to double jaw surgery!
