#118 - Being a Work in Progress - Quinn Hood

This week, I sat down with the owner and head coach of Fifth Power Fitness, Quinto (Quinn) Hood. Coach Quinn is a championship-level powerlifter and certified fitness coach dedicated to transforming busy professionals into their strongest, most resilient selves. With over three years of coaching experience and NASM certifications in personal training and nutrition, he helps clients go beyond conventional fitness goals to unlock strength they never knew they had. His journey began at 13 in the weight room, evolving into a passion for competitive sports and powerlifting, which he now channels into empowering others.
Specializing in strength and muscle-building programs tailored to any lifestyle, Coach Quinn’s expertise spans from beginners to competitive powerlifters, including injury management and recovery. His approach goes beyond physical training—he believes strength is a catalyst for confidence, resilience, and personal growth. Through personalized coaching and expert guidance, Coach Quinn helps clients develop not just muscle but the mental and emotional fortitude to excel in every aspect of life.
