MEET FONDA DICKENS, CPT
I'm Fonda Dickens, CPT, and I've been helping women get stronger for over a decade — first online, and now in person at my Wilmington, NC studio as well.
My approach has always been the same: meet you exactly where you are, prioritize proper form over pushing too hard too fast, and help you discover you're capable of more than you thought. Whether you're just starting out, working around an injury, or ready to take things to the next level, I'll be right there with you every step of the way.
I keep my classes small — never more than 6 women in person — because I believe everyone deserves individual attention, a modification when they need one, and a coach who actually notices them.
I started F.I.T. because I believe exercising as part of a supportive community makes us all mentally clearer, happier, and stronger. That community is what gets you through the hard days — and what makes the good days even better.
Winner, Best of the Cape Fear 2025.
I'd love to have you join us.

HOW F.I.T. BEGAN
F.I.T. was born in 2020 when the pandemic threatened to disrupt our sense of community. A small group of us refused to let that happen — we moved our workouts online and discovered something unexpected: the convenience and connection of online training had benefits that went far beyond necessity.
When in-person classes became possible again, we didn't stop the online ones. We just added a studio.
Today, F.I.T. offers the best of both worlds — morning classes at our Wilmington studio for those who love the energy of working out together in person, and live online options for those who prefer the convenience of training from home. Either way, you'll be surrounded by the same encouraging, supportive community that started it all.
Because I truly believe that exercising together — whether in the same room or across a screen — makes us all mentally clearer, happier, and stronger. And to me, those first two are worth everything.
