COACHES

I am a Kiwi living in Switzerland on and off since 2015 and am the proud founder and owner of Tahi CrossFit.

I have been an athlete all my life, playing tennis, volleyball, basketball and many other sports. I have been coaching CrossFit and functional fitness now since 2015 and I love it! I hold CrossFit level 1, 2 and 3 certificates as well as personal training and elderly training certifications.

Since 2022 I am actively competing in HYROX and since 2023 as an Elite 15 athlete - coming 8th in the Elite 15 World Championship race in Nice 2024.

I strive to help people from all walks of life improve their fitness and health through a performance focused program and show them how much fun it can be within our positive, inclusive and motivating Tahi community.

I am a Spaniard living in Basel since 2018 and proud Tahi Coach since the end of 2021.

I’ve played a great variety of sports in my life, mainly football (“Hala Madrid”). Found CrossFit in early 2015 and it totally changed my point of view regarding human performance and the importance of movement and nutrition: it doesn’t need to be complicated in order to be effective. I have a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certificate and am very much looking forward to helping anyone reach their full potential, in the gym or in their daily life!

I am an Indonesian-American living in Basel since 2020, and am excited to be a part of Team Tahi.

Sports and fitness have always been a part of my life, from high school varsity to college intramural to urban leagues. My favorite sports are volleyball, running, and obstacle course races, and I discovered CrossFit in 2016. I’m now super hooked on functional fitness! I have a CrossFit Level 1 and 2 Certificate, and love sharing my knowledge, and experience to help people find their fitness in our amazing and supportive Tahi community.

I'm from the south of France and arrived in Basel in 2019.With swimming as main sport background, I started practicing CrossFit in early 2013 in Belgium where I got very addicted by the life mindset. I’ve participated in CrossFit competitions as volunteer first, then moved to competing and got my CrossFit Level 1 trainer certificate and most recently my Level 2 end of 2024.

I’m a father of a young daughter, balancing working life and my passion for fitness. I’m always glad to help people improve their fitness to the next level and share how to manage and navigate outside your comfort zone.

I am originally from Ukraine and came to Switzerland in 2022. My whole life is connected with sports, social dancing and an active lifestyle.

But in 2015, after a spinal surgery, the doctor forbade me from doing heavy sports activities, so yoga first appeared in my life in 2017. My goal was to restore my overall health and strengthen the muscle corset around my spine.

In Ukraine, I worked full time at a bank and taught yoga at a fitness club twice a week in the evening. And as an office worker, I understand perfectly well what problems people face due to a sedentary lifestyle. With yoga, step by step, we invest in our best future well-being. Then I wanted to share my knowledge, help people maintain their physical and mental health, movement and mobility in the body and joints. That's how I became a yoga instructor.

I have been passionate about sports all my life, most of all about football. Having played at the highest level in Switzerland and then at university level in the United States, I soon realised the importance of not only working on your skills and endurance on the pitch, but also on your strength and fitness in the gym - so after my more active football years, I ended up with CrossFit in 2016.

Through my work in a foundation working in sports for protection, as well as through my experience as a children’s football coach, I have found that not only is it important for kids to be physically active, but that they can learn so much more than just the sports skills and becoming fitter in a training: They can make friends, learn values, improve social and cognitive skills and how to deal with and express emotions. Through Tahi Kids, I want to give children the chance to create a positive relationship with fitness while learning skills for life.
