Andrea has been in the fitness industry since 2011. While living in New Jersey Andrea taught Bar Method. An intensive exercise where you use body resistance along side small isometric movements to create long and lean bodies. After having twins and moving back to Buffalo with her late husband, she began a new fitness journey back in her hometown. In 2017,  Andrea began working as a Barre and Spin Instructor at VIBE Cycling Studio. Andrea believes that fitness is more than just how you look physically. She believes in making the mindbody connection while becoming the best version of yourself!

Colleen is a Southtowns girl who loves Barre & Pilates. She’s the one at the gym doing demi pliés, arabesques, and leg lifts! Barre became her favorite workout because it helps her connect the Mind & Body. Colleen received her certifications through the Barre Intensity program and Classical Pilates Education. She’s a stickler for proper form and slow & controlled movements!

When Colleen isn’t at the barre or on the mat, she’s likely walking her Golden Retriever in the Village of Hamburg. Colleen is also a speech-language pathologist at an elementary school. She is BEYOND excited and honored to become a part of the Clique fitness team!

Fitness has always been part of Cortney’s life. She has been dancing since age 4 and that spiraled her into teaching fitness classes at the age of 19. 30 years and 4 children later she is still sharing her love of fitness with others. She doesn’t see how she could live without it! Cortney completed the Stott pilates training and uses it as a basis/focus in all of her workouts. She loves Nike’s slogan: JUST DO IT!

Ellyn was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. Outside of being a part-time fitness instructor, Ellyn works as a Registered Dental Hygienist. She fell in love with CLIQUE after her first class with her Aunt Nancy aka Brenda (IYKYK). Soon after that, she became STAGES-certified. Ellyn has always loved group fitness because it provides a community that holds you accountable and keeps you motivated. After years of being a part of group fitness around Buffalo, Ellyn is now excited to lead others in class! When she’s not working out you can find her skiing, boating and spending time with her friends and family.

Ever since the young age of two, Gabby has been dancing. Growing up in the competitive dance world, she learned how important it was to stay healthy and fit for both her mental and physical health at a young age.

WHY CLIQUE?

In 2021, Gabby took her first class at CLIQUE and instantly loved the class and the community. She was excited to have a studio that provided a variety of classes all in one place! The real draw for Gabby was how the classes are structured by each individual instructor to promote growth, motivation, and self-love.

Gabby believes if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you!

Hannah is a passionate and dedicated college student who thinks it is important to stay active no matter your age. Fitness has always been a huge part of her life. Starting gymnastics at age 5 and continuing it for 10 years, she wanted to continue feeling confident in her body. Hannah obtained her Personal Training Certification and is excited to have added her Group Fitness Certification.

Her goal is to push you past your limits, realize you are so much stronger than you think, and help you become the best version of you. When not at the studio, you can catch her in school full-time, with her 9 nieces and nephews, working at Pasquales as a server, or walking her puppy.

I started teaching yoga in 2012 and soon found out I was expecting our first child. After my son was born I attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition with the intention of starting a Holistic Health Coach business. This quickly evolved into teaching yoga all over WNY; at fitness clubs, studios, private residences, country clubs, and even my father’s automotive plant! I truly love sharing yoga with others and proving that yoga is for EVERY BODY.

Homeschooling our three boys has been an amazing experience, but there are definitely challenges. Yoga brings me back to ME. It opens up space in my mind, body, and soul and allows me to reconnect with myself as more than “just a mom.” The patience, strength, breath, and presence required on the mat translates into how we move through our everyday lives. Yoga brings me so much joy!

Jaimie is Buffalo born and raised and has always had such a love for the sports and the fitness industry. Fitness has always been an integral part of her life and she is thrilled to share her passion and expertise with others.

She started her fitness journey as a bodybuilder, dedicating countless hours to sculpting her physique, learning effective training techniques, and fine-tuning her nutrition. The discipline and hard work that was required of her taught her so many invaluable lessons about setting goals, pushing boundaries, and consistently striving for improvement. As a part-time fitness coach, I hope to help individuals of all fitness levels achieve and transform their lives like I was able to.

Outside of fitness, she enjoys spending time with her dog, sipping tequila drinks, and being out on the water in the sunshine.

The importance of exercise was ingrained in Riley at a very young age. She is a firm believer that the path to physical, mental, and spiritual health begins with moving the body. As an instructor at Bryant and Stratton college, Riley has been teaching for a while, but has recently ventured onto teaching in the fitness arena. She is a certified STAGES beats instructor, and loves the combination of resistance and technique that the rhythm ride offers.

After coming to CLIQUE for the first time with her barre-instructor cousin (shout out to Colleen), she fell in love with the studio, instructors, and the community. She made it a true family affair and joined the CLIQUE team shortly after. Join her as she pushes you to your limit while jamming out to your favorite throwbacks.

She is proud wife to Mark and Mama to Mya and Charlie.

Tony has been teaching spin for 4 years! His specialty is POWER RIDES with a healthy dash of rhythm on the side! You can expect a mix of new tracks and throw backs in class, so get ready to sweat!

Spinning aside, Tony is an instructional designer for Geico. His educational background is in Culinary Arts & Food Service Management. When he’s not on the bike he is probably cooking, watching Real Housewives, or playing video games!
