Spin Instructor
Raegan Angstadt
I used to see exercise as daunting. But as a mom, I sought refuge in group fitness, discovering the power of "me time" and community.
Balancing my role as a full-time paramedic, I craved physical strength. In 2011, I took a leap into CrossFit, emerging not only physically but mentally resilient. Fitness became my daily tonic. Venturing into spin instructing in 2019, I uncovered my ability to inspire others. I live by "nothing worth having comes easy."
Join me at Badlands Family, where I share the transformative magic of spin.
