Rhonda Ashkettle
Owner of FIT Studio
Pilates Instructor
A natural athlete, Rhonda has spent her life in and around sports, and has proven that ability as an 8 time national equestrian champion and NCAA athlete where she was point guard for Ashland University's Womens Div II Basketball team. For many athletes, college is the end of the road, but not Rhonda. She parlayed her love of sports into a career that started at Reebok International, LTD, representing their Greg Norman Collection.
Through her own personal journey, Rhonda found her way into the Pilates world and received her accreditation from STOTT in Los Angeles. With family in Florida, and an interest in owning her own studio closer to them and strategically located to the sports and lifestyle she loves most, West Palm Beach and FIT studio was the perfect fit.
Certified in STOTT Pilates, Rhonda also specializes in strength training, body sculpting and toning. Wellness and injury prevention are top of mind in all the programs Rhonda considers and offers at FIT studio.

Prior to migrating to Florida in 2005, Patricia owned and operated successful restaurants in Jamaica for many years. While in Florida she became active with USA Swimming, Dioceses of Palm Beach County - Prison Ministry, and many other volunteering associations.
Patricia loves when clients can see the benefits of the exercises they are doing.
