Tom Hellwig

Where are you from? Whitefish, Montana

What is your day job? I am a full-time student and part time employee at the Kingfisher Fly Shop!

What makes a good coach? A good coach is someone who can relate to anyone, regardless of their background or their level of fitness. They are someone who will motivate you and push you farther than you think you can go.

Why did you become a coach? I became a coach because of the love I have for CrossFit, for teaching, and for people. Watching people grow and succeed in the gym is one of the most rewarding things to see. As a coach you get to be one of the big proponents of that change and I wanted the ability to help people grow in a big way.

What is your favorite workout? Anything with snatching, muscle-ups, or pull-ups! I’m torn between Amanda and Fran. Both are grueling and both have a good mix of barbell and gymnastics!
