Fitness icon Raymond Querido – also known as “The Online Coach” – is an American fitness model, personal trainer and Men’s Physique competitor. The winner of the 2012 NPC Southern California Championship and 2011 NPC Border States Classic, his popular approach to dieting and impressive physique have seen Querido become a 21st century legend in the world of fitness. Querido has also amassed an army of online fans including nearly 150k followers on Instagram.
Querido was a talented basketball player in his youth, and asked his mother to get him a 24 Hour Fitness membership when he was 15 to help improve his vertical and speed. He soon became hooked on the results from his training at the gym, and after school swapped basketball for full-time bodybuilding.
After training hard for several years he began to compete in bodybuilding competitions, claiming victory in the 2012 NPC Southern California Championship and the 2011 NPC Border States Classic along with wins at other local events. After several years competing Querido retired so he could focus more on his business ventures, although he has since returned to the stage and earned his pro card.
Since then Querido has built his reputation as a modern icon of the fitness world, with his common sense approach to diet and intelligent training programs. Querido’s goal as The Online Coach is to help others reach their goals with simplicity and balance, and his online popularity continues to soar.
