Tim O’Neil
My name is Tim O’Neil and I am the President/CEO of F.I.T.T.QUEST USA – a personal training company that offeres personal training services, body composition testing and third party management services. We owned and operated our own stand-alone facility and managed other fitness facilities such as the Ritz Carlton, Scottsdale Hilton and KNIX Radio Wellness Center. I developed the Nations first mobile body fat testing lab that offered services for nearly 200 locations in the greater Phoenix area. I’m a Valley native who has been married 27 years and has a 12-year old daughter (going on 19). I am also former decathlete who had a 4-year post-collegiate career representing clubs like Team Adidas, Nike and Converse West.
I have also been coaching track and field athletes at Brophy and Xavier College Preparatory schools for seven years. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with some fabulous kids and managed to develop a little niche in the hurdles and multi-events. In fact, many of my hurdlers and heptathlon/decathlon athletes have been ranked in the top 10 in the United States and won several 5A State Championships.
Most importantly, I want all of you to know how excited I am about being here and how passionate I am about offering our clients the absolute best service possible. We have already begun to make significant improvements to our existing services by introducing more affordable programs and offering new services.
Our training staff has been hard at work creating several new cardiovascular and weight training programs that offer even more variety.
