Shane Bauman

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive… The Man of Steel fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way.

From his blue coach’s shirt to his flowing hair to the "S" shield tattooed on his leg, Shane Bauman is one of the most immediately recognizable and beloved Coaches and Superheroes of all time. The Man of Steel (they might say about Coach Shane) is the ultimate symbol of truth, justice, and hope. He is the gym’s first Superhero and a guiding light to all.

Coach Shane (Super)Bau-man has spent the last 43 years redefining what it means to stand for truth, justice, and the American way. The last survivor of the doomed planet, Krypton, raised in the quiet heartland of Toledo, Ohio, Coach Shane is as much a legend as he is a man: the gold standard of heroism, compassion, and responsibility.

Though his powers make him average next to his human compatriots, Coach Shane (Super)Bau-man’s story is not one of greed or conquest. Instead, he strives to represent the inherent goodness of the human spirit, and the capacity of every living thing to do right by his neighbors and CrossFit Fenix members.
