"When the 'I can't' turns into an 'I can,', I know that I've done my job," Mindy says, "There is nothing more fulfilling to me than when those I work with have smiles on their faces, are glowing, and feel good about themselves for reaching their goals."
For Mindy, health and fitness became a way of life over 20 years ago. A competitive swimmer and water skier for many years, Mindy has extensive personal training experience and is going on her fifth season training the Golden State Warrior Girls. Over the years, she’s also taught a multitude of classes, including triathlon training, race preparation, hip hop, kick boxing, body sculpting, and spinning.
"I feel so lucky that I have found a career that I live and breathe. I know fitness is a way of life for me, and I hope to touch many lives along the way."
“With determination,” Mindy insists, “anybody can transform their body.”
“I truly believe that your thoughts create your reality. So focusing on empowering thoughts while exercising and moving through daily life will only enhance the body’s response - therefore creating both visible and invisible/internal results.”
“Connecting with people and watching them grow” is the most enjoyable aspect of coaching for Mindy.
In her capacity as Fitness Program Manager for AlaVie’s East and South Bay locations, Mindy also enjoys supervising and collaborating with AlaVie’s “amazing coaches.”
“It is so wonderful to be surrounded by such like-minded, positive people that share the same values as I do. The array of experience and passion from coach to coach is astounding and is such a treat for me.”
