New Coaches Spotlight: Tanna Baggenstos

Tanna Baggenstos:

CrossFit Level 1 Trainer

Athletic Background:

Played all the sports growing up, but focused on basketball and softball through high school, also did a lot of lifting and normal globo gym workouts through high school after practices. I've always loved to workout, then found CrossFit.

Favorite Movement to Teach:

I love to teach pull ups, or pull up drills. I have found that pull ups are a standard movement most people feel is out of reach for themselves, but is something everyone would love to get one day. It is very easy to scale and drill to progress to hard versions. Watching someone finally get their first kipping pull up, or strict pull up, and seeing a light in their eyes because they have achieved something they once thought wasn't going to be possible is incredible. 

What Do I love most about Coaching:

I love everything that has to do with coaching. I knew when I first started that one day I would love to coach because I wanted to help people the way our coaches have helped me. It is incredibly rewarding watch people put their life on hold for one hour just to get a workout in, and prioritize their health and fitness. I get more excited for people when they PR, or when a movement they've been struggling with finally "clicks". Being able to help people achieve health and fitness goals, show them new movements they've never tried, and being apart of their one hour a day they set aside for themselves to better their health makes me so happy. I just wanna make people happy, feel encouraged, and help them do things they didn't think they could.

What I like to do besides CrossFit:

Besides CrossFit I love spending as much time as I can with my family, my dogs, and my friends. I love to go boating, riding dirt bikes, doing anything outdoors, or spending nights in with my friends watching movies. 

Favorite thing about Crossfit Train:

My favorite thing about CrossFit Train is the people. This community is why I fell in love with CrossFit and why I wanted to become a coach. When I'm away on break I'm constantly thinking about coming back, it's a second family and everyone cares about each other. I love the atmosphere, the encouragement, and the competitiveness. It's an incredible place to be at.
