OUR TEAM
I am Eke, the Manager and Co-founder of IslandFit, dedicated to transforming lives through accountability, expert programming, and the spirit of high performance. I have served in a variety of roles, from working directly with fitness professionals on the floor to leading at the executive and management levels. This extensive experience provides me with a clear vision of the fitness industry and the unique ability to identify and implement trends that create results-driven fitness programs. Crucially, As a former elite athlete, he deeply understands the critical importance of teamwork, accountability, and motivating every client or team member to achieve their best potential. I am an ACSM CPT/CEP, NASM CSNC with multiple advanced certifications, including FMS, TRX, Spinning, Kettlebells, Stott Pilates, and Les Mills. I bring the discipline and teamwork instilled during my nine-year career as a professional rugby player, where I proudly achieved double international status representing Samoa and Japan, including participation in the 1991 Rugby World Cup. My passion for rugby leads me to become both as a certified World Rugby coach and a strength and conditioning coach. I contribute to rugby by providing crucial strength and conditioning training programs and youth rugby camps in our community. This dedication to fostering athletic growth extends to my current role as an assistant coach for the Nazareth University men’s Rugby Team. Beyond IslandFit, I am passionate about community health, volunteering my time to support fundraising events such as Tour de Cure and Climb for Air, and forging partnerships with organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association and Parkinson’s Foundations to design essential wellness programs. I also provide specialized fitness coaching to the Brighton and Mendon fire departments. Lets do this!
I have worked in the fitness world for many years. Beginning in the early 80’s at the YMCA in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, teaching weight training and the “new” aerobics. Fast forward to Rochester, teaching aerobics and Personal Training at the Jewish Community Center for 37 years. The advent of Pilates to the mainstream in the fitness world, became a personal passion for me. I found it was the missing component to extra strength to the human body.
Teaching many about the Mind Body connection that Pilates offers has been so rewarding. Join me on this Pilates journey and discover new strength.

Hello, I’m Claudette, Co-founder of IslandFit, and proudly the “city girl” from Lackawanna, NY. My athletic drive stems from my high school days as a track athlete specializing in sprinting; I always felt the 400-meter run perfectly embodied the philosophy that “it’s the combination between speed, endurance and execution that yield results,” a mindset I carried through to my Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from RIT. For the past two decades, my professional career has been rooted in the analytical environment of laboratories and research centers. My personal fitness passion centers on yoga, cycling, boxing, and HIIT workouts, and I am also a certified cycling and YOGA coach. Committed to safety, I hold CPR and AED certifications. My mission at IslandFit is simple: to help others feel strong, fit, and live healthier, happier lives through exercise.
Hi, I’m Stevie. I focused on cardio for most of my life. One day, I decided to do some strength training because I thought it would make me better at horseback riding. I went to different personal trainers and quickly learned the value of a good trainer and a good program and just how far a little bit of encouragement can take a person. I had never done organized races before, but suddenly I found myself doing a 5K, then a triathlon, then trail races. I did classes for the first time. I lifted weights and actually enjoyed it! I got hooked on fitness. My trainers saw my growing passion and further encouraged me to get certified and help others just like they helped me. So I did. I am now a NASM certified personal trainer and an ISSA certified indoor cycling instructor. As someone who got pulled into this world later in life, I want to make sure people know that it is never too late and never impossible to start the journey!
