Dan Taft

Coach Dan T. grew up in Maine and attended college in Boston before moving back to Maine in 2013. He first joined a CrossFit gym in 2018 and began coaching shortly after. Dan states, "coaching offered me a way to give back to the community that had given so much to me in my first few years of joining and I genuinely just enjoy being at the gym and around the members. It gives me such a positive energy and feeling to see the members and watch them grow".

Dan grew up surrounded by sports, whether he was playing them or watching them. He was a three-sport varsity athlete at Bangor High School. Dan loves that CrossFit pushes people outside of their comfort zones, and allows members to establish a community of like-minded people.

When he's not at the gym, coach Dan can be found hanging out with his partner and dog, watching sports, or reading a great book. He has a particular interest in philosophy and business books and how those two subjects intertwine.
