STASIA PATWELL
CERTIFIED THOT LEADER
I started School of Thot from my studio apartment in Venice Beach, California, in March 2020 as a way to virtually hang out with my comedian girlfriends while squeezing in a workout. Stuck at home, my “booty class” quickly took off, and women from all over the country started logging on for a fitness experience that was equal parts fun and community. Today, School of Thot has grown into a global community of women who come for the booty boost but stay for the connection and support.
​
My personal fitness journey began 12 years ago when I made the life-changing decision to get sober. I discovered how deeply physical activity impacts mindset and overall happiness, which inspired me to turn my passion into a profession.
I became a certified personal trainer through the National College of Exercise Professionals (NCEP Fitness), earned my Macros Coaching certification from Precision Nutrition, and became a certified Spinning instructor. Over the years, I’ve taught spinning at private studios across LA and trained under top professionals at Gold’s Gym Venice Beach, building expertise in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and functional training.
For nearly five years, I’ve been leading strength-training group fitness classes online, helping women transform their lives through movement.
​
Before founding School of Thot, I was a stand-up comedian and produced my own show at the legendary Comedy Store in Hollywood for three years. My background as a comedian, my decade of sobriety, my time in all-girls schools growing up, and my professional fitness expertise all came together to prepare me to create School of Thot.
I’ve built a community where humor and fitness collide, offering a no-BS, tell-it-like-it-is approach that isn’t for the easily offended—and my clients love it.
​
I believe in the power of physical fitness to transform lives. For me, it’s about so much more than just the workout.
Mental health, positive thinking, and finding joy in the process are all part of the journey. I bring my comedic background into everything I do, creating a fun, motivating, and supportive atmosphere that keeps people coming back for more.
​
These days, I split my time between Los Angeles and Greece, teaching live classes four times a week and coaching thousands of women each year on their personal fitness journeys.
I’m here to help you get out of your own way, drop the excuses, and finally create the body and life you’ve been dreaming about.
