MEET THE abotti TEAM
Antonietta Botticelli
Owner & creator of abotti
I am the You Do You – low impact group fitness instructor who incorporates everyday practical movements into a FUN and non-judgemental aerobic experience. Having lost over 140lbs and kicking diabetes to the curb, I can personally relate to how challenging and scary it might be to start your journey to health and wellness. As the creator of abotti, I have taken my life experiences and developed a program that is inclusive to all, no matter your age, gender, fitness level or ability. Referred to as the female version of Richard Simmons of the North on Breakfast Television Toronto, I take pride in having built a community where everyone is equal and no one is better than the other. We all encourage and support one another in achieving and maintaining our wellness goals. We are better and stronger together.

I was born in Barbados and moved to Canada in 1976 at the age of 13. I am a vibrant, energy driven person, with a little shyness at first. I put 100% in anything I do, no matter what the task is. I also love a challenge and will try anything once.
Growing up, exercise was not something I enjoyed doing. In my late 30’s / early 40’s I started exercising sparingly but my LOVE of exercise began at the age of 45 when I decided to take it more seriously. That is when I began to take control of my health!
I completed my first marathon back in 2007 and have continued to participate in marathons up until today!! This brings me so much joy and I look forward to them. I also participate in obstacle courses such as Mudgirl, Foam Fest and Spartan. Spartan was on my bucket list and I am so proud of myself for saying YES to it and completing the course!
I enjoy all forms of exercise but my preferred style of exercise is weight training. I have developed a passion for it and I am now a certified abotti strength instructor. I truly enjoy helping everyone achieve their fitness goals. I also love helping those who doubt their physical capabilities and I will make it my mission to help them change their narrative to YES I CAN!
Becoming an abotti instructor is a dream come true as it allows me the opportunity to do what I LOVE to do. Working alongside the abotti team is nothing but FUN. The community is an infectious one and we all support each other!
