On this episode of the I Heart Costa Mesa Show, we've got a guest host: our very own Mister Mesa! He interviews local fitness coach, Quentin “Coach Q” Pullen, on today's show. Coach Q is a former Marine and bodybuilder who has been a fitness trainer in Costa Mesa for over two decades. In 2014, Coach Q was responsible for creating the PlayPen OC, a military-style obstacle course at the Newport-Mesa YMCA. He currently trains clients at the Self Made Training Facility in Costa Mesa. In this episode, Coach Q talks about ‘Everything Fitness’ – his philosophy for motivation, setting challenges, food choices, cheat days - and why he settled in our fine city.
