Meet The Team
Erin Benton
Founder
Erin Benton is the founder and owner of Runway Fitness, a second generation of the Model Fitness Method™, which was developed over a decade ago serving women in the modeling industry looking to achieve and maintain specific measurements and a healthy and toned physique. With her desire to lead and her enthusiasm for fitness and female empowerment, Erin enthusiastically takes on the role of operating and leading a group of enthusiastic female fitness instructors.
In her free time, you can find Erin demoing for a live class, binging the latest streaming show, or watching her daughters compete and perform in dance and gymnastics.
Kiersten Dolbec Silver
Fitness Instructor
Kiersten has been modeling for a decade starting in Dallas before she expanded her career to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, and South America.
She credits the Model Fitness Method™ for her career longevity. She’s also a Stand Up Comedian, so she makes sure to bring laughter into her fitness instructing. Kiersten and her husband now live between New York and Texas with their son, daughter, and dog Marlowe.
Zandria Theis
Fitness Instructor
Zandria Theis has been in the modeling industry for 10 years starting when she was just
14 years old in Dallas, Texas. Getting into modeling at such a young age, she found out
how important it was to stay healthy in a world that focuses so much on body image.
Finding the Model Fitness Method™ was the most important part of that journey.
Zandria is now based in Los Angeles pursuing her modeling career while also tapping
into all her interests, including fitness and costume design. When Zandria isn’t modeling
or instructing for Runway Fitness, you can find her goofing off with her husband and dog
Lulu.
Jessica Klein
Fitness Instructor
Jessica was named by Park Cities People as 20 under 40 most influential in Dallas for her innovative and accessible approach to wellness and is a published cookbook author—her second book due later this year.
She is certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) in personal training as well as pre & post natal fitness. In addition, she also has 200YTT from Strala Yoga. Jessica has been modeling for over two decades and credits the Model Fitness Method™ with repairing her torn abdominal muscles after her third pregnancy and propelling her into lingerie modeling. Jessica throws out the old adage “no pain, no gain” and believes life is meant to be enjoyed, living as young as possible for as long as possible through a whole lifestyle approach.
Katie Tetreault
Fitness Instructor
Katie began Runway Fitness as a client at a time her environment was constantly changing. She traveled across the United States with her boyfriend and found the content of the classes and their accessibility fit perfectly for her lifestyle and goals.
Runway Fitness allows her to maintain shape for her modeling career with MMG and IMD because the Model Fitness Method focuses on long lean muscles and burning overall body fat for a toned body without the bulk. This regimen also aligned with her preparation when competing in the Miss USA pageant system. Prior to modeling and competing in the Miss USA pageant system, she focused on traditional bodybuilding movements in a commercial gym and was an NPC bikini competitor. She later realized she was not going to achieve the many goals she had – the most important one being comfortable in her own skin. So here she is now to share everything she’s learned and motivate each client to be confident in their own skin, wherever they are in their journey. She received her group class certification through ACE, and is ready to help you reach your goals!

Brittany is based in Los Angeles where she is pursuing her modeling and acting career. While simultaneously being the best cat mom and home chef. She received her group class certification through ACE, and is ready to help you reach your goals!
