Born in New York, Anne Schade is now an LA-based actress, model, personal trainer, online coach and former professional bikini athlete with a passion for helping people become their strongest, healthiest and happiest selves.

After more than a decade working in corporate advertising, Anne decided in 2026 to pursue a career centered around her passion for fitness, nutrition and personal growth. She earned NASM-accredited certifications as a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach and Behavior Change Specialist, and now works as a personal trainer at Equinox while building her online coaching business and pursuing acting, including recent work with Dhar Mann.

As a former bikini competitor, Anne knows firsthand how easy it is for fitness and nutrition to become all-consuming. Her philosophy today is the opposite: fitness should enhance your life, not take it over. She believes the key to sustainable results is finding ways to eat and train that support your goals while still allowing you to genuinely enjoy your life.

One of Anne’s favorite ways to do that is through food. She loves creating macro-friendly recipes that are high in protein, satisfying and actually taste good, then sharing them with her clients and social media community.

Outside of the gym and kitchen, Anne loves being out in nature and learning new sports and skills, including snowboarding, surfing, tennis and longboarding. She is always looking for her next challenge, whether that’s in the kitchen, on the slopes or on the court.
