ABOUT

Dillan’s story of finding his passion for fitness is a much longer more arduous journey than most - but ends with the same passion for fitness and client growth as every coach on the Raincity Athletics team.

In a past life, Dillan spent his time working the downtown club/nightlife scene for more years than he’s willing to remember. It was once he got news of a daughter on the way he knew it was time to make some major life changes. In preparation for his daughter Kiki, he kicked things into overdrive and completed multiple personal training certificates, built out his own home gym, and started coaching at Orange Theory.

On having a daughter:

“Kiki changed my life in every way for the better, and I can now proudly say I am doing what I should have been doing my entire life”

In March of 2019 he decided to branch out from Orange Theory and tried out this ‘Functional Fitness’ thing at Raincity Athletics - he was hooked. He immediately became a sponge, absorbing as much knowledge as he could from the experienced coaching team, and set his goals on one day being able to call himself one of them.

Though we’re still working on Dillan’s ability to properly demonstrate a ‘front rack’ with a barbell, it’s impossible not to be infected with his upbeat personality and passion for development - which is one of many reasons why we’re proud to have him on the team.
