We take a close look at Tanaya’s recent achievement of earning her CrossFit Level 3 credential. At the past weekend’s CrossFit Affiliate Gathering in Bangalore, India, we had the opportunity to sit down with her face-to-face and talk about the journey behind the achievement. From questioning life choices while studying, to realizing there is always more to learn, to the importance of female coaches recognizing just how capable they truly are. Most importantly, we spoke about what becomes possible when you commit to growth, stay consistent and continue showing up for your community. Here’s what she had to say.

CROSSFIT LEVEL 3 TRAINER!!! 🎉 Holding the L3 badge feels absolutely surreal! A monumental feat associated with a myriad of emotions of happiness, elation and gratitude 😄 The CCFT was not just a test of competency, it was the long hours devoted to studying and re-studying, the hours of diligent coaching, gaining realtime experiences and connections with people in the flesh. The result was a broader, deeper view of the world, with just one simple underlying principle - helping people to get the best out of their life and health. Forever grateful to have found @crossfitmonkeyflag and to @ktambhale for giving me the platform to be doing something that I’m extremely passionate about, day in and day out 🧡 Could not have asked for a stronger backbone in the form of the best (and craziest) teammates, the amazing Monkey Flag fitfam and mentors like @juria8 , @vijay_raj03 and KT 🙏 Excitedly leaping on this next milestone and eagerly looking forward to the new opportunities it brings!

Between packing lunchboxes, tending to boo-boos, worrying about the kiddo’s college and hostel, dealing with their own perimenopause, walk times and vet visits for the furry kids, always having that snack or band-aid in their purse for when you need it, prepping meals for a family of four (or fourteen!), these badass Moms (and so many more- not in the video) make it a point to show up AND have enough protein (wink wink!😉) Happy Mothers’ Day! You redefine ‘strong’!😍 #womenshealth #womenWhoLift #womenofcrossfit #mothersday #pune

“Not all Weight is Visible” Some weights don’t show up on a barbell. This documentary takes an honest look at the women who walk into CrossFit Monkey Flag every day, carrying far more than what fits in a gym bag. Societal expectations, professional struggles, personal battles. We follow women across different walks of life, a doctor, a teacher, a photographer, a trainer, each navigating challenges unique to their profession and their identity, and we draw a simple but powerful parallel between the weights they lift in the gym and the weight they carry every single day outside of it. We also look at how age is rarely a barrier when the mind is stable, and how that stability shapes the life you’re able to build. What CrossFit Monkey Flag gave these women wasn’t just a place to train, it was a community built from scratch, one that chose to show up for each other. A space with genuinely good energy, not because life got easier, but because no one had to face it alone. One of the women in this film even found the courage, through this community, to walk away from a marriage that no longer served her. This film is also, in its own quiet way, a portrait of what an Indian gym could and should look like. “A woman’s mindset is not easy to break, and it was never meant to be.” 🏆 “Winner — Best Documentary | Seamedu Awards, May 2nd, 2026” A Documentary by Ravindra Sharma DOP — @im_danish_3 Interviewer — Pranav Editor — @z_velocity Voice Over — @caroool_theforgetful Interviewees — Kaustubh Tambhale Darshana Godambe @coach_dashy Aabha Chaubhal @weddingsbyaabha Swati Tambhale Bhakti Manasi Naralkar @drmanasinaralkar Thank you, CrossFit Monkey Flag · Special Thanks — @ktambhale
