Coaching
Your Coach
My Name is Quinton Gill I am a Father, Partner, Son, Friend, Adventurer, and Athlete. I have spent the last 29 years of my life doing what makes me happy and pushing myself to the limits in everything I can get my hands on. I have also been helping others do this for the past 15 years. As a coach, educator, personal trainer, and friend. My urge to learn more about the human body and its limits is what has driven me to help the people around me both physically and mentally.
​
As I moved through the years I... like everyone else have been trying to figure out what brings me absolute joy and passion. And now I know exactly what it is...
RUNNING
As humans we have been running since the day we were born. Running is not something that we should be afraid to do, it's as crucial to the human condition as breathing. It is woven into our DNA and EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE can run! Running allows us to see amazing places to appreciate our amazing world, stay fit and healthy for our kids and family, spend time and connect with others, and challenge us in a way that allows us to grow both physically and mentally.
But unfortunately over the years a lot of us have lost touch with our most innate ability... and that's where I come in! I know how much running has changed and improved my life, it's a part of who I am and once I fully embraced that was when things started to get easier. I have spent the last 8 year studying, listening, experiencing and embracing the best coaches, teachers, books, events, podcasts, and people to find out more about the human body and it's ability to run... and ultimately learning more about myself.
​
Whether you are someone who hasn't been running since you were young, have been on a roller coaster of injuries, or have been hitting a plateau. I am here to help you on your journey. My coaching is more than just a cookie cutter training program its based on all of my learnings over the years then tailored and adapted towards YOU. The focus is unlocking YOUR full running potential through everything you do. Your job, lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, recovery, emotions, movement patterns.
​
If running is something you enjoy or something you'd like to enjoy then let's get you on that path to rediscovering your true potential and help you to "run with the earth, not on it"
