Cori Magnotta

Cori Magnotta is a 2002 graduate of Mercy High School and 2006 graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester New York where she studied Social Work and American Sign Language. She modeled and competed in pageants throughout her high school and college career racking up dozens of pageant titles and modeling contracts. Her titles include Miss Connecticut Teen, Connecticut’s National Teenager, Miss Teen Galaxy, Mrs. Connecticut, America’s Fit Mrs. 2016 and most recently the title of America’s Fit Queen 2017. For the talent portion of pageant competition, Cori Magnotta performed an unconventional hula hoop routine that was frequently a fan favorite and eventually became an unexpected career. After the birth of her son, Mrs. Cori Magnotta found herself depressed and obese. Not wanting to join a gym and quit yet again, Cori picked up her now dusty hula hoop and began hooping for at least a half hour a day while her son napped. After some initial weight loss success, Cori researched hula hoop fitness and came across the FXP Hula hoop workout. Never shying away from a challenge, Cori Magnotta then signed up for the certification course that was held in Boston, MA. Despite being nervous and a first-time group fitness instructor, Cori passed the certification program with flying colors and now teaches hoop fitness weekly to a sold out class in Portlad, CT. Cori ’s weight loss story has inspired thousands as she has appeared in Prevention Magazine, Women’s Health Magazine and on her local news discussing health and fitness several times. Cori Magnotta resides in Portland, CT with her husband of almost 15 years and their 3 year old son.
