Mandi Hutchins

I am a wife to my husband of 12 years and a mother to my fantastic son, Ezra!  I got into the fitness industry about a year before he has born and have NEVER regretted it!  I LOVE to teach fitness classes because I LOVE to help and encourage people.  People love to come to my classes because they not only get a good workout but they have a blast while they're doing it because I am a very fun and personable gal.  My primary objective while teaching is to motivate people without intimidating them.  I want their fitness goals to be accessible and I love to see people succeed and feel better about themselves!  I am not a diva instructor -- someone who shows up and shakes her booty in her own private dance show and leaves people feeling helpless -- but someone who genuninely cares about the individuals in her classes.  I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications (Theatre emphasis) that I received from Calvin College (Grand Rapids, MI) which is one of the reasons I think I relate so well to people.  I also used to be a trainer representing Ford Motor Company.  In this job I traveled to many cities to educate the dealers on the new products coming out each fall.  I would also host the Spring Dealer meetings in Las Vegas, Nevada.  It was not uncommon for me to be managing and communicating to groups of  30 to 300 people!
