Career post-retirement

Since retiring permanently from competition in 2017,[20] Maxwell has focused on building a successful and high profile career in personal training. Her brand - BodyByFleur - claims to be a 'transformational full body fitness method', and has built a substantial social media following, with 14,000 followers on Instagram.[21]

Personal life

Maxwell is of Australian and Danish descent,[22] and was raised in Luxembourg. Her parents worked as European Civil Servants.[23] The sociologist Claire Maxwell is her eldest sister, and they both attended the European School of Luxembourg. Due to her intense career as a professional figure skater, she often underwent a special program in high-school allowing her to attend classes from Monday to Wednesday, and was let free for the remaining two days, but had to make up for what she missed on her own. Her training was from Wednesday to Sunday, often having to travel between Paris and Charleville-Mézières to train in different locations.[24]

She married in September 2022[25] and is currently living in New York City.
