Meet Coach Sarah-
“I have been a coach at Heartland CrossFit for 2 years. I have been doing CrossFit for 7 years. I love handstand walks or any gymnastics movement, and cleans & snatches. My least favorite movement is the thruster.
I had heard about CrossFit and watched some videos and thought “dang, I wish I could do that” and proceeded to quietly observe from a distance because no way could I hang with those people. Then years later I got the courage to reach out to a friend who quickly got me started! I loved the idea of challenging myself and doing new things. I also needed to be able to just show up and be told exactly what to do as opposed to creating my own workout in a conventional gym.
I stayed with CrossFit because I drank the kool-aid!🤪 CrossFit has helped me overcome many obstacles in my life. The workouts change how you think and see the world around you – you gain confidence and build discipline, and your problems feel a little more manageable. Having a healthy release is life-changing, not only that but the people to do it with. You don’t always know what someone else is struggling with, but you come in this gym and together you tackle this difficult workout and it creates a bond that you won’t find anywhere else. Shared suffering is powerful! :)
Outside of the gym I am a Mama to three boys, I have a Golden Retriever named Remi and my favorite hobbies are eating and sleeping!”
You can find Sarah at any of our class times throughout the week.
Thank you for being part of the Heartland CrossFit family, Sarah Tonniges ! ❤️
