Ruth Sylvester

Ruth Sylvester is a CNY native and music teacher who brings both energy and humor to every class. She began her career teaching K–5 music in Camden, NY, and spent several years moving around the country as an Army spouse – where she also discovered her love for group fitness.

Since then, she has taught a variety of classes over the past decade, including spin, kickboxing, strength training, aqua classes and POUND.

Ruth moved to Cicero in 2024 and became a Champions Fitness Center member. Whether she’s struggling to get a resistance band on her legs or taking “shoe-tying” breaks during core work, she always shows up with a smile (and probably a joke).

When she’s not at the gym, you can find her enjoying British murder mysteries, a good Pinot Noir, and “long walks to the fridge.” At home, she’s usually wrangling her children and creatively avoiding housework.

Come join Ruth in class – you’re guaranteed to sweat, laugh, and leave feeling stronger.
