We had the good fortune of connecting with Mandee Miller and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mandee, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
Many MANY lessons have been learned along the way from 2009 to present day. The most important of them perhaps may be resilience. I can say that being able to pivot my business when the pandemic hit was the ultimate test in my ability to be resilient and now I have a thriving ONLINE business alongside my in-person training model.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I have been in business for myself since 2009 as a sole proprietor of my LLC, Mandee Miller Fitness. Training online clientele, traveling to in-person clients, and creating full-length workouts for my Patreon community are the main pillars of my work. It doesn’t feel like work when I get to connect and challenge each of my clients based on their individual goals, however. I am truly grateful and fulfilled!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Pretty much everyone that comes out for a visit to see me will be offered the stair-hike behind my house whether they are fitness-oriented folks or not — LOL. The view is simply so beautiful that it’s always a must for anyone who is not a resident of LA. I am also a lover of food and really enjoy cooking. Most recently, my family came to visit for Christmas and hosting them for dinners was the highlight of my time with them. Our backyard is a nice little urban oasis so it feels like a little getaway from the city. My favorite dishes to make for guests include my slow-cooked coffee-infused ribs, gluten-free “fried” chicken drumsticks, and mouth-watering grilled steaks!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I started out teaching group fitness to get a free membership and turned it into a career over the course of a few years’ time. Having always been in musicals and plays as well as participating in various sports, I have many people and organizations to thank. Today, I am choosing to dedicate this shoutout to my stepdad, Jim, who continues to be a supportive and encouraging parent from afar. It is because of his encouragement that I participated in musicals, plays and sports while in school. He also helped me with applying to colleges and getting grants and scholarships to attend without accruing debt. His support and love towards me as his stepdaughter is really the foundation of my drive to be the best version of myself that I can be. I continue to strive to be my best each day due to the values instilled in me through him in my developmental years and beyond.
