Meet Your Faculty
CLAUDIA MICHEL,
SENIOR INSTRUCTOR
Claudia began teaching dance at age 16, choreographing pieces for competitions and instructing summer dance intensives all over the seacoast. After stepping away from dance in college, she found beat-based boutique fitness classes. The combination of music, movement and mindfulness immediately hooked her!
There's something special about showing up for yourself for 45-60 minutes. There's something memorable about moving your body with a group of supportive individuals. It's truly a gift to feel safe and allow yourself to take up space while doing so. That feeling and that energy is Claudia's "why" for taking and teaching fitness classes.
With a background in dance, she loves to FEEL the beat. Claudia's goal is to curate an empowering, unforgettable experience so that you feel the same way.
KRISTI MELANSON,
LEAD Instructor
Since a young age Kristi has always loved moving her body. Transferring between gymnastics, to cheerleading, and finally ending up in dance in high school. She’s now been dancing for 10+ years and even teaches young kids! Kristi always loved being a part of a team so she knew group fitness would pair nicely with her dance skills. After taking her first cycle class when Collective launched it she knew this was an endeavor she wanted in on!
Kristi also has a degree in hospitality management and has always had a job working with people. If she’s not dancing or taking classes you can find her working as a manager over at O'Shea's making coffee or laying low hanging out with her family. Kristi loves to make people happy and feel good so she is overjoyed to be a part of a community with that as one of their main goals.

“The class gave me the confidence needed to begin to learn to instruct. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave me a greater understanding of what it takes to build a playlist and execute a beat-based class. I highly recommend this class to anyone whose wants to learn more about cycle or anyone who is interested in instructing.”
