OUR STORY

MOUNTAIN BIKING AS A VEHICLE TO CREATE A BETTER WORLD

At first glance, the ultimate mission goal of QUEST might seem a bit cheesy: world peace. But as you dig deeper, it becomes clear that this online coaching brand in health and fitness has a powerful vision for contributing to a more peaceful world. How can a company focused on physical and mental wellbeing help create world peace?

IT Starts with you

According to QUEST, the answer is simple: peace starts within us. By promoting health and wellness, QUEST aims to help people cultivate inner peace. When we feel our best, we are more likely to be calm, patient, and compassionate towards others. And when we embody those qualities, we naturally bring more peace to our interactions with others.

Arno, the founder of QUEST, is a firm believer in the power of inner peace to transform the world. He understands that creating a more peaceful world requires each of us to do our part, starting with our own wellbeing. And he’s committed to spreading this message to every corner of the earth, one person at a time. With a focus on physical and mental health, and a deep belief in the potential of every human being to contribute to a better world, Arno and the team at QUEST are working to make their vision of world peace a reality.

ARno’s Bio

„My life has been shaped by my love for sports and fitness, which began at a young age in my sport-loving family. Snowboarding became my passion, and I started competing in races at just 12 years old. When I was 15, I went to a local sports school where I discovered a love for training for fitness and well-being. This passion led me to become a gym enthusiast and eventually a coach, with a true passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals.

During this time, I also fell in love with mountain biking and even participated in some local cross-country races. I loved being outdoors in nature and riding down single trails, even though the bikes back then weren’t really designed for going downhill.

„My goal is to help every mountain biker in the world to be more healthy, improve their physical fitness, and find peace within.“

After high school, I studied sports science at the University of Bern, but I found the university setting limited my open-mindedness and curiosity. I specialized in high-performance sports and had the opportunity to do an internship at one of the most prestigious training facilities on the east coast of the United States. There, I learned a lot from being an assistant in coaching mostly NFL, NHL, and track and field athletes. I was also inspired to open up my own gym in Switzerland, Elite Training GmbH, the very first warehouse-type training facility dedicated to professional athletes in Switzerland.

My gym quickly became a hub for athletes from all over the world, and I coached the best athletes in Switzerland and the world, from multiple Olympic medal winners to world champions and world-class sports teams. I trained as a powerlifter during this time but eventually decided I wanted to improve my work-life balance and spend more time in nature. I rediscovered my love for mountain biking and began coaching mountain biking athletes, transferring my coaching experience to other mountain biking enthusiasts.

After eight intense years at Elite Training, I returned to the mountains where I grew up and opened a new functional training gym, ORIGYM, for people from all walks of life.

With my latest venture, QUEST, I am now able to combine my passion for mountain biking with my love for coaching and helping others. My goal is to help every mountain biker in the world to be more healthy, improve their physical fitness, and find peace within. I believe that mountain biking is not only a fun and exhilarating sport but can also be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery.

Looking back on my journey so far, I am incredibly grateful for all the experiences and opportunities that have come my way. But I am also excited about what the future holds. If you’re reading this, I encourage you to prioritize your own health and well-being. Taking care of yourself can bring incredible benefits, from greater energy and vitality to a stronger sense of purpose and meaning. Whether it’s through exercise, mindfulness practices, or simply making time for self-care, I hope you’ll join me in embracing a healthier, more fulfilling life.

See you out on the trails.
