The Starting Strength Coach Credential is the Most Advanced in the Industry
Quinn has been a Starting Strength Coach since 2025 and is the head coach of Starting Strength Miami. He holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in exercise science from East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania and is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association.
Quinn discovered Starting Strength while working as a strength and conditioning intern at a prestigious D1, Power 5 university. His concerns about the effectiveness and efficiency of the university’s strength and conditioning program were confirmed through a few videos featuring Mark Rippetoe. Since then, he has integrated Starting Strength’s principles into the training of his athletes, clients, family, and his own training.
Quinn has coached athletes at multiple Power 5 universities and high schools in several states but has never felt more fulfilled in his work than he does now as a coach for Starting Strength.
Keith is the owner and coach of Starting Strength Miami. He has been interested in fitness and exercise since graduating from high school, initially purely for aesthetic reasons, but as he got older primarily for the health and general strength improvements. He spent many years trying the latest trends, learning a lot about what does not work and trying programs that over promise and under deliver.
At the age of 48 he discovered Starting Strength and for the first time in his life he made measurable gains beyond the novice effect. Keith instantly realized the benefits of an honest training program like Starting Strength for people of all ages. Upon discovering that Starting Strength was franchising gyms, without hesitation he changed directions in his life to open Starting Strength gyms in South Florida and to move away from his career as a CPA in public practice. He is driven to help others improve the quality and the quantity of their lives.
Keith is currently studying under the guidance of Starting Strength Certified Coaches and working towards earning his SSC designation. He is also a PN Level 1 Nutrition Certified Coach, enabling him to provide diet and nutrition guidance to gym members.
