Claudette Minnotte

 Claudette is originally from Lehighton, PA but moved to Pittsburgh for college in 2004. She grew up as an athlete, participating in gymnastics, figure skating, field hockey, and tennis. She received a BA from University of Pittsburgh in English Writing and Political Science and an MFA from Chatham in Teaching Creative Writing. Claudette has been teaching group fitness for over a decade and found a way to combine her love of sports with her passion for teaching. She started with Barre, Pilates, and rebounding and is also trained in TRX and strength training. She is currently our Yoga Sculpt Instructor at Om Lounge, a Senior Master Coach at [solidcore], Spin instructor at Steel House Cycle Lawrenceville, and HIIT/running coach at Stride Fitness. Outside of group fitness, Claudette works full time as a property manager for a large realty company, enjoys traveling with her partner Jon, and binge watching true crime documentaries while eating gummy bears.
