Hi and welcome to Club Fit.  I’ve worked at Club Fit since I was in High School in Yorktown over 35 years ago.  I love the work we do and the communities we serve.  The business has evolved and grown so much over the years thanks to the incredible staff we’ve been lucky to have on board.  We’re here to help inspire and guide you to becoming your best self.  Exercise, diet and sleep are vitally important to your journey.  Let us help you become the best version of yourself you can be.  As for me – I live locally and exercise most days of the week doing cardio and weight training.  When not in the club you can often find me hiking the beautiful trails of Westchester with my wife.

I grew up in the business and now work to continue to offer health clubs that are sure to encourage community and honest relationships with customers along with top notch staff, facilities, and programming. For me, my time spent exercising at the club is good for my state of mind; and ensures I will be able to live my life skiing, gardening, and being with friends and family stronger and more confidently. Currently I focus my business time on finding opportunities to improve the member experience and staff energy. I implement new and improved business solutions while ensuring a strong commitment to improving our community’s health and well-being. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with ideas to improve the Club Fit experience.

Welcome to Club Fit! My name is Lynne, and I am the General Manager in Jefferson Valley. I joined the club as a member in 2002. Shortly thereafter, I began my journey in a handful of different roles at the club; from spin instructor to personal trainer and more. I have always been active and enjoy being outdoors year round. Club Fit has enabled me to do just that as my workouts and interests have evolved over the years. My newest passion is tennis, which I began playing a few years ago. I am grateful for having this club community of peers and members who inspire me daily. Please feel free to stop by and say hello. I would be happy to exchange stories, discuss fitness goals, and show you all that we have to offer!

Rodrigo Schtscherbyna was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and started his athletic career as a swimmer. Thanks to his dad, an avid tennis player, Rodrigo became so passionate for tennis he decided to jump out the water even after achieving a few national titles.

His passion for tennis led him to some major accomplishments. Rodrigo held the #1 position in Brazil in the 14’s, 16’s and 18’s junior rankings. In ‘98, he received a full tennis scholarship at Florida International University, a NCAA Division I school, where he graduated with a double major in Finance and International Business. After college, he dedicated himself completely to becoming a professional tennis player. During those years, he trained hard, traveled to many countries, and won a few titles.

In ‘02, Rodrigo was offered a position at Winthrop University in South Carolina to coach the NCAA Division I Woman’s Tennis Team and, at the same time, to get a MBA degree. After getting his degree he decided to take on a bigger challenge. Once he heard: If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere!!!

Rodrigo arrived in New York in ‘03 and has worked in the area since. Prior to Club Fit, he was part of some of the most well attended racquet clubs in Westchester County. Rodrigo is a certified USPTA and PPTA professional.

Rodrigo, who lives in White Plains with his wife Kristie and their children Matteos and Nicolás, is a big sports fan and loves tennis, platform tennis and soccer. He is also interested in Finance and the world’s socio-economy.

I believe that constantly changing your workout and pushing yourself to the best of your own ability will give you the results you are looking for. Annie uses today’s hottest music along with old favorites and motivates throughout. Come prepared to sweat and have fun!
