QUENTIN McCOHN
My purpose is to simply help people improve their lives through health and fitness. I strive each day to give members a great training experience so that they feel great and go do great things. I was born in Lorain, Ohio, lived for a few years in St. Louis, Missouri before returning back to Columbus where I've been the majority of my life.
I have been entrenched in training and gyms for the past 10 years. I have worked around trainers from all over the city. Training knowledge, attentiveness, comprehensive fitness assessments, and enthusiasm is what sets me apart. You can get good workouts out a lot of gyms, but finding someone that is passionate, enthusiastic, educated, and willingly wants to help you reach your goals is a lot harder to find.
I used to be an overweight kid. I used my classmates jokes for motivation. So I appreciate them. Now I'm the one they reach out to when they need to lose some pounds and start a healthier lifestyle. (They didn’t realize that when the odds are stacked against me, I use that as motivation and don’t stop until I succeed.)

Exercising with professional bodybuilders and powerlifters to learn about working out is like jumping in the deep end of the pool to learn to swim. That’s exactly how I got my start in the fitness industry. This invaluable insight served as the catalyst for pursuing a degree in Sports Physiology at OSU.
I am living proof of that anyone can change their body with determination and proper support. I wasn’t born this buff! It took lots of hard work.
My passion for working out is something I want to share with others so they may be encouraged to enjoy this healthy lifestyle, too. I was born and raised in Mayfield, Ohio.
