Claudia Martin (Personal Trainer)

 

Claudia Martin was born in Venice, Italy, and moved to New York in 1997 to further her career as a singer and model, activities that she continues to pursue even now. She was introduced to the importance of physical fitness as a dance student at City Center, and in due course realized that the demands of her profession required that she be more than a mere gym-goer.


After getting her certification as a fitness instructor from AFAA, she launched a business of her own, training clients mostly in the highly competitive upper east side of Manhattan, where she came into contact with Living Proof. Claudia’s particular attention to good form and posture in executing workouts has blended perfectly with our strength-training system, allowing her to apply her passion for bringing people to their fitness goals.
