Claudette Minnotte

Claudette is always happy to share her enthusiasm for health and wellness with you. Raised in Lehighton, PA, she spent most of her childhood active in sports such as gymnastics, figure skating, field hockey and tennis. She moved to Pittsburgh in 2004 where she attended the University of Pittsburgh with a BA in Political Science and English Writing and later fueled her passion for helping others with an MFA from Chatham University in teaching. Claudette found the perfect way to blend her dedication to exercise and education by becoming a group fitness instructor in 2015. She currently holds several certifications and teaches barre and rebounding at Meraki Studio and is a coach at [Solidcore] in Pittsburgh and Wexford. She is also a certified in TRX, bootcamp, versaclimber, and mobility/flexibility for athletes. 

When Claudette isn't teaching group classes you can find her checking out the latest restaurant in town or catching up on some reading. She loves live music and nights out with her friends.

Fun fact - Claudette used to teach male inmates reading and poetry in prison.
