A Fitness Legacy That Will Live On Forever
A sad day in the world of fitness… the iconic WFBB pro-Mandy Blank was pronounced dead on Monday, October 29, in her L.A. home.
She was found dead in her bathtub but the precise details of her death have yet to be confirmed. Foul play or drugs have not been suspected but an autopsy should hopefully give more information.
Mandy Blank was a great champion and because of her amazing physique and good looks, she graced the covers of multiple magazines. In fact, she found so much success during her career that she founded Mandy Blank Fitness while having the opportunity to train several A-list celebrities, such as Marcus Allen, Mickey Rourke, Alex Rodriguez, Pauly Shore, Natasha Lyonne, and Rohan Marley.
