COACH
Ti’Quan was born and raised in Staten Island NY and is currently a full-time coach.
All his life he was a really shy kid with his head always down, always wearing huge sweaters to cover his body, but when he reached the age of 14 his best friend introduced him to a multi-function weight machine. When he did my first curl, he fell in love and knew exactly what he wanted to do with it for life. He wanted to use fitness to help people break out of their shell.
He’s been into health and fitness for 13 years and still learning more and more to this day.
Outside of coaching, he likes Skateboarding, rock climbing, Broadway, movies, and skydiving.
