MEET THE FOUNDER

Anneclaire Nelson created ACE to bring people together through movement—with every beat, breath, and breakthrough shared in community. A professional dancer and expert trainer with over 20 years of experience, she has trained A-list clients and worked with top fitness brands across LA, NYC, and Miami. In 2022, she returned to South Carolina to launch ACE: a method rooted in rhythm, connection, and lasting strength.

our story

ACE began on Sullivan’s Island, in a small studio by the water, where something simple took shape: intentional movement, shared energy, and a growing sense of connection.What started as a place to gather and move quickly became something more. A community formed. Women showed up for themselves and for each other. The energy in the room became the defining force of the experience.

Today, ACE lives in downtown Charleston as a space designed to hold that energy at a larger scale, where dynamic, beat-driven movement meets strength, presence, and joy.

ACE is built on the belief that movement is more than a workout. It is a way to feel stronger, clearer, and more connected to yourself and to the people around you. The instructors, the community, and the experience created inside the room are what define ACE.

frequently asked questions

what should i wear?

Come dressed to sweat! Wear athletic shoes and clothing that allow you to move freely.

do I need to bring a mat?

Mats, towels, and 3-5 lb ankle weights are provided.

why is the workout heated?

Moving in a heated space adds an additional cardio element to the class while warming the muscles. The added heat also creates a sweat factor that aids in the detoxifying of the body while boosting mood and energy.

What role does music play in the workout?

ACE is a dance-based workout driven by music, creating a “dance party while working out” energy. Your heart rate will be raised, and you’ll be singing along. Coming to ACE feels like listening to a fun playlist, dancing, and becoming stronger with your friends.
