Minter Is Coming

Meet CARRIE MINTER, the gorgeous model and Pilates expert who doesn’t mind a little dad-bod action. You’re welcome…

Hey, Carrie, tell us a bit about yourself? I’m originally from Mesquite, Texas, and my heritage is mostly Scandinavian and Irish. I first got into modelling when I was 15. My mum entered me in a local competition and I won. Then I signed with a local agency in Dallas, as well as Elite in NYC.

As a Pilates expert, fitness is not only your career, but passion. Was that always the case?

Actually, fitness wasn’t always a big passion of mine. Once I was introduced to Pilates though, I stuck with it and watched how it completely transformed by body and I got a lot stronger. I always feel better after I workout and I love teaching. I’m grateful now that I have the opportunity to do what I love, because it never feels like work.

Carrie’s Pilates Plus is one of your businesses. What makes your workout plans different to others?

I don’t teach normal Pilates. What I teach is like Pilates on crack. It’s an intense workout with great music and we use a mic in class and I make it fun! Once you take my class in L.A. you won’t get the same workout or experience anywhere else.

Do you think exercising is a good couple’s activity or do you find it best to ride solo?

Exercising together is a great couples’ activity. Anything fun and active you do together is awesome and working out with your partner also helps you stay on track. Taking different workout classes, hiking, swimming, playing beach volleyball, even shooting pool, or just taking the dogs for a walk are also all fun things to do as a couple.
