Meet Coach Mandy Higdon 

🤘🏼🖤

Built by grit. Fueled by iron. Allergic to limits.

Mandy started CrossFit at 40 and never looked back. Now a CrossFit Level 2 coach with a Burgener Level 1 weightlifting certification, she brings years of coaching experience and a background as a Physical Therapist Assistant to the gym floor. She’s passionate about moving well, getting brutally strong, and helping athletes discover what they’re truly capable of. And she’s not done learning—USA Weightlifting Level 1 is next on her list.

A competitive Olympic weightlifter and powerlifter, CrossFitter, hiker, and downhill mountain biker, Mandy has spent years chasing challenges most people would rather avoid. A retired ultrarunner and triathlete, she knows a thing or two about suffering through the hard stuff and coming out stronger on the other side.

Her philosophy? Never stop playing.

Outside the gym, Mandy is a proud mom to two grown sons, Hunter and Owen, and a cat mom to Smokey and (The) Bandit. When she’s not coaching, chasing PRs, or exploring the mountains, you’ll find her wherever the bass hits hard and the energy is unapologetic.

She believes age is just a number, strength is earned, and your comfort zone is a terrible place to live.
