Mandie Chapman - Specializes in KICKING ASS and Motivation!

Up until 4 years ago I would call myself the typical 'couch potato'. Fitness, training, working out were not things that I just woke up one morning and started at full pace. Like so many others I have tried many different fitness plans/gimmicks/gyms and I have taken that experience and learned what works for me. I have also made working out a priority in my life. If I have to get up at 5am to work out, I do, if I need to work out over a lunch hour, I make that commitment. I both believe and practice that you need to put yourself and your fitness needs high on your priority list. For those with kids, being active yourself is teaching your children the importance of physical activity and the importance of taking time to do something that is good for themselves. I truly believe that people need others to push them to be the best version of themselves. As a trainer at Joust I'm committed to encouraging you, helping you and pushing you to your personal best.
