Deanna Bauman

Hello! My name is Deanna and I’m the gym manager here at CrossFit Fenix! 2014 was the year I first got involved with CrossFit, but I was a fitness enthusiast for a long time before that. I’ve always loved running and biking and have participated in several endurance races including half marathons.

I turned to CrossFit because I needed more motivation to develop sustainable gym habits. In the past I would go to my local YMCA and have to try to figure out what I was going to do for the day, only to often have to change it up because of waiting on machines or cut my workout short because it wasn’t structured properly or because I would run into people I knew and end up wasting time chit-chatting. While I love the community aspect of fitness, I knew I needed something to help me focus down.

CrossFit provided that structure! I could show up to class, jump right into an already-programmed workout with a coach that would keep me and my classmates on task, and get a solid hour of work in. Within six months of joining my first CrossFit gym I took 10 minutes off my half marathon time!

Outside of Fitness, my family is my top priority. I’m married to my High School sweetheart and am the mother to three incredible young men. I consider myself the ultimate “boy” mom and enjoy nothing more than cheering on my sons during games, competitions, and sporting events.

I have had the privilege of impacting countless patients, families, and athletes through fitness and exercise. As a coach and trainer, I thrive on helping people cultivate better lives and I find the greatest joy in my clients’ “aha!” moments.

What I love most about CrossFit is the community and accountability, the fact that there is always something to improve on, and that the workouts and movements can literally be tailored to anyone and everyone.

Thanks for taking some time to check out CrossFit Fenix. I look forward to working with you.
