FierceMovement™

This month, we are beyond excited to celebrate Daniela as our Client Spotlight for April! 🌟  From the very beginning, she has been an integral part of the community, joining on October 7, 2025, as one of the founding members at the Mt. Kisco studio. Her commitment has been evident since day one, consistently showing up with focus, strong form, and an uplifting, positive energy that enhances every class. Over the past several months, her dedication has been especially inspiring. Even while seven months pregnant, she continues to show up, challenge herself, and move with remarkable strength and determination. Her ability to prioritize her health while maintaining such grace and resilience is truly empowering. She brings a steady, motivating presence to the studio, and her energy leaves a lasting impact on both clients and instructors alike. The community is stronger because of her, and it simply wouldn’t be the same without her. ❤️

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45?

About a year and a half! One of your first members 😍 

2. What is your favorite move on the machine?

Plank to Tabletop

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

I love going to the studio and moving. It’s 45 minutes that I can focus without outside noise, and being there with everyone focused as well is motivational.

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

I always feel good when I leave Fierce! Even when the workouts are challenging, there’s always positivity in the class that we push through.  

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

I am 7.5 months pregnant, and it’s been so fun seeing other baby bumps in the class too! 

This month, we are beyond excited to celebrate Maggie as our Client Spotlight for March! 💛🌟  From the very beginning at Fierce45® Mt. Kisco, Maggie took a chance on the studio and has been a steady, inspiring presence ever since. She shows up ready for whatever the workout brings, moving with intention, incredible form, and a smile that never fades. Her consistency, kindness, and positive attitude don’t go unnoticed — they elevate the energy in the room and help set the tone for the entire community. The space is brighter and stronger because of her, and Fierce45® simply wouldn’t be the same without her.  

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45?

I started coming to Fierce in November 2024!

2. What is your favorite move on the machine?

Heavy platform lunge or kneeling back platform crunch

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

Everyone in class is working hard alongside each other, which makes it such a positive and motivating environment. It’s been even more special getting to share that experience with my friend Jenna. Taking class together has turned into one of our favorite ways to spend time together. Fierce has become a place where I am able to clear my mind, challenge myself, and walk out feeling stronger.

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

I was a collegiate lacrosse player, so I was used to intense cardio and heavy weight training. I wanted something totally different that would challenge me in new ways, and Fierce does exactly that. It pushes me physically and mentally, and no two classes ever feel the same!  

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

I spent two summers living and working on Block Island. I’m happiest near the beach!!

This month, we are beyond excited to celebrate Julia as our Client Spotlight for February! 🖤🤩  We are endlessly proud of Julia and so grateful for her presence in our studio! Julia’s energy and strength, both in and out of the studio, are truly inspiring to all of us. We’re especially grateful that she took a chance on Fierce45 🤩  

1. How long have you been coming to Fierce45?

I have been coming to Fierce45 since late spring/early summer, around May or June. It’s been such a consistent part of my routine ever since. 

2. What is your favorite move on the machine?

My favorite move on the machine is either Russian Twists or Carriage Kneeling Crunch!

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

Fierce45 has given me 45 minutes of my day that I truly get to take just for myself. It’s become such an important form of self-care for me, something that supports both my mental and physical health. It helps me feel grounded, and I leave class feeling stronger. I have also loved being able to bring friends with me, which makes class even more fun and motivating!

4. Why do you choose Fierce over another workout?

I appreciate that Fierce is challenging without feeling overwhelming. I don’t leave class completely drenched in sweat or with my heart rate through the roof, but I still know I am getting a great workout. It allows me to really slow down, be intentional, and activate muscles I wouldn’t normally target.  

5. Tell us a fun fact about you!

I love fashion, so I always try to make sure my workout outfits coordinate, especially with my grip socks. It makes getting dressed for class fun! 

Jennifer’s bright spirit, warm heart, and unwavering positivity never go unnoticed. She shows up not just with strength and dedication, but with the kind of sweet uplifting energy that lights up the room. Her smile is contagious and her kindness is genuine! Thank you for being such a vital and cherished part of our Fierce45^® family.

Since June 2025 (but it feels like longer in the best way possible)!

2. What is your favorite move on the machine?

Plank to Pike and Sprinters!

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

I was a huge fan of barre when we lived in the city and love being back in a studio on a regular basis since we moved up to Chappaqua. The energy is amazing and I leave every class excited to come back for the next one. I am having so much fun being part of the Fierce community!

I am challenged in a different way each time and appreciate the full body workout it provides while being low impact!

•  🖤 Some of the best memories? Hands down seeing our clients walk in for their very first class. That mix of nerves, excitement, and ‘what did I just sign up for?’ energy. Fast forward to now, and they’re holding planks like pros, conquering the Fierce-former with confidence, and inspiring others. Watching that growth has been the most rewarding part of year one. Every first shake, every milestone, it’s been unforgettable.
