Meet Coach

Coach Omar Gonzalez discovered his passion for running through high school cross country, where he fell in love with the process of training, personal growth, and team culture. A Southern California native, he competed at UC Riverside before continuing his development under Olympian Abdul Morceli, coming within seconds of the four-minute mile barrier.

After college, Omar remained deeply involved in the running community as both an athlete and coach. He has coached with Nike LA, managed operations at Blue Ribbon Sports, and continues to work with runners of all backgrounds as a USATF-certified coach.

​

Today, Omar is committed to helping athletes reach their goals while continuing to pursue his own, including the marathon and qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Trials.
