From small beginnings as a kid, I was a multi-sport athlete and got my first taste of coaching youth sports. In 2005, I was hired for my first professional coaching job at The Personal Training Institute in Port Washington, Long Island, NY. I then grew to lead the Personal Training departments at two Equinox Fitness Clubs: 85th Street Manhattan & Great Neck, NY for 7 years. Searching for an opportunity to grow, in 2012 I left corporate fitness to pursue entrepreneurship, co-owning & opening three Body King Personal Training Studios in Long Island, NY.
After successfully coaching thousands of clients & mentoring hundreds of fitness professionals over the years, I noticed a huge problem in fitness. There is no facility that offers accredited nutrition counseling and high-caliber fitness coaching. I founded One Sound Body in order to bridge a huge gap between the nutrition and fitness industries. Fitness and nutrition are symbiotic of each other and many people can benefit from an individualized tailored approach to both.

Chelsea Clarke, M.S., RDN & Owner of Balance Chaos
Chelsea is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a Certified Personal Trainer. She received her Master’s in Food Policy and Applied Nutrition from Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Her interest in food and nutrition initially began in studying the relationship between agriculture and climate change, and she received her B.S. in Environmental Science and International Agriculture at Cornell University.
Chelsea’s approach to nutrition is to meet clients where they are at, guiding them forward step-by-step, and addressing obstacles and barriers to change as they come. Together, she works with clients to challenge food beliefs, build a well-rounded nutritional knowledge base, and identify long-lasting motivations to fuel and nourish the body and develop a healthy relationship with food.
Outside of her work, Chelsea loves to read, travel, and tackle new skills that challenge her brain and her body, like teaching herself how to longboard, practicing self-defense techniques, or learning new skills on aerial ropes.
