I was born and raised in Corsicana, TX, a small town about 2.5 hours North. I joined competitive cheerleading in my younger years, and continued with both Middle and High school cheerleading. I served as a leader in the community, and a leader of my team throughout those years. I discontinued Cheer after completing my senior year in High School after a serious injury, and started to become involved in different forms of Fitness afterwards. I'm most known for my Sparkly personality, and for always being my authentic self. I attended Navarro College where I began to study Pharmacy, however I decided to pursue a different career path shortly after. I took a leap of Faith, and moved to Spring, TX in 2011. I've worked in different Healthcare facilities and had the opportunity to see how much being active plays a major role in our overall health. I became a certified Zumba instructor and launched my personal business, known as "Fit&Fierce", and hosted classes both back home in Corsicana, and in The Woodlands. I remained active with outdoor running, indoor cycling and gym exercise. I've completed over 75 indoor cycling classes. And a plethra of group fitness classes and began to look into other ways to enhance my Fitness journey. I remember being introduced to Lagree at Wicked Core by a friend several years ago as I had never heard of it prior to. I found it challenging, yet effective and loved the studio and the atmosphere. After having a baby in August 2023, I didn't realize how much my body would change, although I was pretty active during pregnancy. I took some time off to really think about how I wanted to continue to leave my mark in the lives of everyone I encounter, and once the opportinity to become an instructor at Wicked Core came up, I made the move and signed up.

I pride myself most on motivating others to get active, and enjoy educating them on the different ways to get and remain in shape.

As an instructor, I love that we are given the opportunity to be our authentic selves, while playing a big role in the journeys of many clients both experienced and inexperienced. I look forward most to allowing clients to come and ENJOY their class with a good Playlist, and big energy while also playing a big role in their physical and mental growth while participating in Lagree. Knowing I'm a part of their journey, and their success story is most meaningful to me. I hope that down the line, they remember Mandie with the big personality who wasn't afraid to motivate them to push through, and to never give up.
