About Cathy
Cathy joined the ClubCorp team at Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club in March 2010 as a group fitness instructor. In 2012 she became the group fitness coordinator and in 2013 she started personal training for the club. In November of 2021, she was hired on as the Fitness Manager. She felt she got the best of both worlds, being able to positively impact people individually through her personal training and all members in her role as Fitness Manager. Cathy was a scholarship gymnast at the University of Pittsburgh where she was a math major. She loved coaching gymnastics for many years. It was an easy jump from coaching gymnastics into coaching fitness which she did in 2001. She has her personal training certification through NASM and numerous other continuing education certifications. Cathy has 2 sons whom she is very proud of. Her oldest Cole is a school psychologist in Southern California and her youngest Jake is in PA school at High Point University in North Carolina. Both were collegiate lacrosse players. Cathy loves spending time with friends and family. She enjoys hiking and spending time anywhere in, on, or around water. She is a dog lover and a Pittsburgh Steeler fanatic.

Adam Thompson
Personal Trainer
Serving since 2021
About Adam
I believe everyone can and should find some healthy habits that work for them in their lives so that they can live better. Good health will carry over and improve every other aspect of your life.
I have been helping people with their fitness goals in less involved ways for years but have been doing so professionally since 2019. I am certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
Outside of fitness, I enjoy reading books, golfing, and playing video games. I also have a 1-year-old son that I spend a lot of time playing with.I became a personal trainer because pursuing my own fitness and health changed my life for the better. Feeling stronger, healthier, and more confident allowed me to perform better at everything else I pursued in my life. Now I know that without these health habits, I am not my best self. I want to help others achieve this for themselves. If everyone is at their best, the world’s a better place.
