Jelani Knight

BioKnights was founded by CEO Jelani Knight. Jelani was first introduced to the world of sports and fitness through track and field, back in 2007. He went on to run at Temple University where he graduated with a B.S. in Kinesiology: Pre-Health Professions. Since then, he’s gathered a few accolades, grabbing the M30 regional and national title in the 200m Dash, along with #1 rankings nationwide for the M30 400m Dash. 2023 was quite the busy year, as it saw him grab USATF M30 All-American honors in the 60m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, AND the mile! In July ‘23, Jelani qualified and competed in the JAAA Senior National Trials! He placed fifth overall in the nation in the 1500m run. Jelani looks to build upon that success in next year’s trials as he shoots for a chance to make the national team!

Jelani brings 5+ years knowledge as a cross country/track and field head coach at the high school and NCAA collegiate level, currently coaching at Lehman College. He brings over 10 years experience as a fitness professional, with experience in some of the most highly revered gyms and fitness studios in the country, such as Orangetheory, Rumble Boxing, and Gotham Gym.
