What MCG Clients Are Saying
Ally T
“For someone who spent 30 years hating all workouts, Christie's approach to fitness has made me fall in LOVE with working out and appreciate my body's strength. Her positive attitude, captivating energy, and infinite support gives me the motivation to always show up and do my best. In fact, Christie's workouts have become my daily lifeline for emotional happiness during COVID-19 and beyond as I finish each and every one feeling happy and proud of myself. Additionally, her true understanding and expert knowledge of all types of fitness have allowed her to ensure safe, inclusive, and injury free workouts for everyone, even those of us with existing injuries — let alone the amazing variety of strength, cardio, tone, and dance! Lastly, the sense of community MCG has to offer is unlike any other gym or club I have ever belonged to and I encourage anyone who wants a slice and daily dose of pure fun-loving activity with an incredibly fun-loving and strong woman at the helm, you really should join us and be part of MCG!”

"I've been doing MCG’s classes consistently for over two years now and I’ve never been more healthy and fit - body and mind! The workouts are fun, challenging, and really convenient, with both the live-streamed classes and the on-demand videos. But the best part of MCG is Christie’s energy and dedication! I always look forward to her classes and leave the workout feeling strong and motivated."

"I started working with Christie back in February 2022, and have already seen major improvements to not only my fitness, but my overall lifestyle. Christie's program makes fitness extremely approachable for anyone's goals no matter what they are. I was struggling to exercise while working a full time job, but her schedule and on demand classes allowed for time for me to do both live and on demand classes. She updates the on demand classes regularly too, so there is a great selection. She has even helped me with my overall confidence and nutrition, which has made me glow from the inside out. I would highly recommend her workout program."

"I started doing MCG workouts in March 2020. Over two years later and through pregnancy and now postpartum they are still the highlight of my week and keep me feeling strong, mentally sane, and empowered. Christie keeps things fun, is so encouraging, and you will never get bored. I feel my best after a workout and I love the flexibility to take classes on demand with my schedule as a working mom!"

'“Christie’s class is very energetic, she’s very motivating, she’s my biggest cheerleader. Always calling you out and saying ‘great job!’ That just keeps me really motivated during the classes. There’s other classes where the instructor doesn’t really know your name and there’s no personal attention, but Christie does a really good job of making sure she sees you and pushing you to be your best self.”

"I take MCG classes because I want a challenge. I want something that’s focused on me as a dancer. I want something that will work for my body and the amount of stress I already put on it. If you’re on the fence about taking MCG classes, you should know that this is the most welcoming environment that you can walk into. It will be hard and it will be challenging, but you will also walk away feeling empowered, confident, and strong.”

I have worked with Christie for a little over 6 months now and I have nothing but overwhelmingly positive things to say! I first contacted Christie because, even though I was attending dance classes and training in small group sessions, I felt like I wasn't getting all of the feedback I needed to make that next step of big improvement. She became my private coach! She helped me clean dances for auditions and ultimately make a professional MASL team... but that's not all! We continued to work together during my MASL season, cleaning dances and working on technique. When NFL auditions rolled around, we just kept going. With Christie's help, I ended up making the team of my dreams - the Baltimore Ravens!
It's honestly kind of hard for me to write this review because it's hard to express my gratitude for Christie in such limited words. Not only was she my dance coach, but she really helped me changed my mindset. We laughed, we cried. I felt loved and supported and like I had someone fully in my corner. She is an incredible dancer and an inspirational woman. When times got stressful for me, she helped me put things in perspective and recognize my growth. I believe I am where I am in my dance career because she believed and invested in me.
If you are at all considering working with her, just do it! Dive right in! You won't regret it!

“Christie's experience in the professional dance industry makes her an expert in the pro style, technique, and attitude. In 15 years of dancing I’ve never had a coach or teacher who has noticeably improved my dancing so much and in so little time! One-on-one training with Christie was the best investment I have made in my dance career. Her routines are the exact style of dance I needed to work on to go pro. The music is always fun and the choreography is incredible. The combination of her fitness and dance classes made me a fit dancer and helped improve my ability to pick up choreography. During our one-on-one coaching session, we would break down choreography count by count to fix my positioning to perfect the style. Her detail-oriented approach and encouraging personality made reaching my goal fun and possible! She helped me improve everything from technique, facials and sharpness by realizing things I did not know I was doing incorrectly. Outside of our sessions she would send me dance videos and strengthening videos that targeted the things I needed help with most. She would also send me ideas and inspiration for creating my audition outfit. I can’t thank Christie enough for helping me become an NBA dancer!”

“I have had the incredible opportunity to know and work with Christie of Powerhouse Danceworks for several years. I began working with her in high school prepping for college auditions. Working with such a cutting-edge performer and choreographer has been so amazing that I have continued to work with her throughout my dance career taking her pro-level classes and training to compete at a collegiate level. She truly knows how to bring out the best in your performance! Her knowledge and expertise are extremely beneficial in helping you achieve your goals. I highly recommend Christie and Powerhouse Danceworks to anyone looking to elevate their performance and reach the next level in their dance career!”

“After being a part of the MCG community for almost 4 months I feel stronger, leaner and more confident! During each class Christie brings an incredible positive and personable vibe that is beyond compare! No matter what type of day I’m having I know when I login to class that I’ll instantly be in a better mood and feel AMAZING afterwards. Christie is innovative with her exercises, choreography and playlists, I always know each class she’ll bring something new and exciting to share with us! I love knowing that I have a group of fellow health, fitness & dance lovers and am forever grateful for Christie creating this supportive community!”

“I started taking classes with Christie at FlyWheel and I was soon hooked to her energy, enthusiasm and passion for fitness. Since I have joined the MCG community, I have found that I have been working out more during the week as Christie offers a variety of different classes, including dance! Her classes keep me motivated, positive and help break up a long workday. I would highly recommend joining her amazing fitness community, as no matter what level you are at, Christie always ensures you get the most out of her classes.”

“Christie has found a way to perfect the art of bringing her clients high energy, challenging workouts, and new circuits all with a smile. When COVID-19 hit, I was scrambling to find ways to manage my self-care. I was hesitant of signing up because I assumed ‘all workouts would be the same’ and ‘I could just find other workouts online.’ I was SO wrong! Christie finds creative ways to blend barre, strength training, and cardio in one packed session. Christie is genuinely invested in her clients’ being the best version of themselves. She’s always able to answer any fitness or nutrition questions I have. The cherry on top of it all is Christie’s ability to connect with her clients. She’s very personable with her MCG community!” #sweatcheck
