Mindi graduated from college with her B.A. in Chemistry and a certification in teaching grades 6-12. She taught high school Chemistry and Biology for three years in Iowa while her husband, Scott, finished his PharmD. After the birth of their first child, she began her extended career as a stay at home mom. 
Mindi was active in many sports growing up and began running and weightlifting to stay in shape during her college years. After becoming a mom, she spent many hours pushing a jogging stroller while making her own circuit-challenged courses. Before the birth of her last child, she became very active with spinning, Pilates and training for triathlons. After welcoming her fourth child, she became interested in FITT-RX; later becoming a regular client.
Mindi received encouragement by fellow clients and trainers to pursue her spinning certification. In 2017, she officially became certified with Schwinn. Mindi now enjoys her time challenging the FITT-RX community with her classes.
