Christie's introduction to the health and fitness community began with ballet classes at a very young age. Her dedication to the form and discipline of dance shifted to a passion for instructing Kickboxing, Body Sculpt and Boot Camp classes at American University in Washington, DC, where she also earned her Honors B.A. in Psychology. Christie was a sales representative and assistant manager for Fitness First Health Clubs, a DC-area health club chain, before beginning a graduate-level certificate course in education at George Washington University.
