Tanner Cotner is a Sports Performance Coach at the North Peoria location, working with athletes and general population clients across a wide range of ages and experience levels. With four years of coaching experience, he has developed athletes from foundational stages through high-level performance, including exposure to professional athletes.

A former collegiate track athlete, Tanner brings both practical and competitive experience into his coaching.
