Hollye A. Richardson is the founder and driving force behind Warrior Goddess Fitness, a transformative space where empowerment, education, and holistic healing come together through movement. With over 20 years in the fitness industry, Hollye has done it all—yoga enthusiast, Zumba instructor, black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and NPC Figure Competitor—proving that fitness is more than physical; it's a lifelong evolution.

She holds a Master of Science in Exercise Science & Sports Studies with a concentration in Exercise Physiology from William Paterson University and is a certified E‑RYT 200 and RYT 500 yoga instructor. Her love for wellness is grounded in both science and soul.

But what truly sets Hollye apart is her sharp awareness of a troubling shift in the fitness landscape. She believes the industry has lost touch with its foundation—failing to support beginners with safe, correct form and technique at the start of their journeys. With the rise of social media workouts and increasingly performance-driven group training, many programs prioritize aesthetics and viral content over real outcomes and injury prevention. Hollye’s mission is to bridge that gap, creating inclusive, nurturing environments where people of all levels—especially beginners—can build strength with confidence and intention.

As a breast cancer survivor and founder of Fitness Angels 501(c)(3), Hollye knows firsthand the importance of aligning body, mind, and spirit. Recognized as a lightworker, she merges metaphysical practices with clinical expertise to help others awaken, heal, and thrive.

Whether she’s leading a mindful movement class, mentoring a client through transformation, or holding space in a sound bath, Hollye lives by this mantra:
Educate. Enlighten. Empower. One being at a time.

 Don’t let the “grandma of three” title fool you—PJ is a powerhouse with purpose. Her fitness journey began in 2017 after a serious health scare that lit a fire in her spirit and reminded her what truly matters: health, strength, and showing up for yourself every single day.By day, Paula “PJ” rocks her corporate career in NYC. By night (and early mornings), she’s leading sweat-drenched HIIT circuits, crushing plank challenges, and empowering others through TRX and bootcamp classes at Warrior Goddess Fitness. When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find her supporting her son’s business at Kappa Lounge in Harlem or offering a word of wisdom and warmth to anyone who needs it.PJ’s classes reflect her grit, grace, and one-of-a-kind soul. She believes fitness isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you feel, move, and love yourself along the way. As she beautifully puts it:  “If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies. How different our ideals of beauty would be.” 

  From her very first spin in March 2022, Bali fell head over heels in love with pole dancing—and never looked back. Her passion and dedication catapulted her from curious student to confident instructor by June 2023, where she now leads empowering beginner classes like "Pole Virgins" with grace, patience, and a fierce spirit.  Bali’s background in long-distance running fuels her endurance and discipline, qualities that shine through in her teaching style. She brings both athleticism and artistry to every class, guiding students through their own transformative journeys with encouragement and joy. Her goal for 2025? To level up with her X-Pole Level 1 & 2 certification and continue inspiring others through movement.  When Bali’s not in the studio, she’s chasing finish lines or sharing glimpses of her pole and fitness evolution on social media.  

Christine Wildflower walks a sacred path rooted in her Navajo lineage, weaving ancestral wisdom into everything she does. She is a beloved spiritual guide, healer, and teacher at Warrior Goddess Fitness, where she leads our transformative monthly Drum Circle & Meditation—a soul-awakening experience of rhythm, grounding, and collective healing.

Christine is also affectionately known as “The Patch Lady” at Harley Davidson, where she is celebrated for her impeccable craftsmanship and custom patchwork for bikers. Her work as a master seamstress reflects her artistry, attention to detail, and deep-rooted sense of community. Every stitch tells a story.

As an ordained practitioner, Christine performs sacred services including house cleansings, weddings, and intuitive readings, creating energetic alignment and spiritual clarity for those seeking guidance. Her presence is often felt far beyond the studio—you may find her offering readings outside her teepee at Renaissance Fairs, leading drum circles at Pow Wows, or holding space at psychic fairs and wellness events throughout the region.

To be in Christine’s presence is to experience grounding, insight, and connection. Her gifts are many, and her mission is clear: to heal, uplift, and reconnect us all to our spiritual roots.
