New York Client Spotlight

  • 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! 

  • This month we are excited to feature our first client of the month in New York – Isabel Fairbanks!. We are always excited to see her name in class and she always comes to the studio with a big smile on her face! Isabel is always up for any challenge in class.  Thank you for being such an amazing, positive part of our Fierce community! 

    1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45?

      Since they opened in September. 

    2. Favorite move on the machine?

       Back flying corkscrew

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

      I love Fierce! The teachers are amazing and I always feel energized after every class.

    4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

      Because it is so fun and there is always room for improvement in form and strength. It takes a few classes to get the hang of each position and it is definitely physically challenging, but thinking about form and pace moves my focus away from the physical difficulty.

    5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

      I have a sheepadoodle named Plink!
