Coach

Hangie has been a coach at Sherwood CrossFit since 2019.

Hangie is originally from the Dominican Republic and is fluent is both, English and Spanish. She joined the military in 2008 and been Active Duty ever since.

Prior to CrossFit, Hangie was a Beachbody Coach for 5 years and loved workouts such as Insanity, Asylum, Les Mills Combat, among others. With time however, she became bore of the repetition and sought something that will not only challenge her daily mentally and physically, but also something that she can truly come to enjoy.

Fast forward to 2014 when Hangie attended training to become an Airman Leadership School Instructor, a classmate took her to her first CrossFit class. Although it was hard, she found that she truly enjoyed the experience. Upon her return to her own base, she had found out that her new supervisor also did CrossFit and upon asking him where he went, he informed her that he had just opened his own gym if she wanted to check it out. She did and that's when her love for CrossFit began. The more her body composition changed and the stronger she got, the more addictive it became.

In December 2018, Hangie was tranferred to Arkansas. The day after her arrival she went to Sherwood CrossFit to try out the gym where was later asked to replace an injured athlete for a team competition later that month. Hangie accepted and competed for her first team competition at Sherwood CrossFit alongside head coach and owner Jon Steckbeck.

After years of practicing the sport, Hangie decided it was time to impart others with her knowledge and passion for CrossFit so in March 2019, Hangie became a CrossFit Level 1 trainer. Two years later in March 2021, she went on to receive her CrossFit Level 2 Trainer certificate.
