Zerek Knight

Coach and Personal Trainer
Hi, I’m Zerek Knight! I’m a Group Fitness Coach and Personal Trainer here at Pursuit, where I lead high-energy strength and conditioning classes designed to challenge your body and build your confidence. My goal is to create a space where everyone—from first-timers to seasoned athletes—feels motivated, supported, and excited to show up.

Get To Know Coach

I’m a former professional basketball player for the Ivory Coast National Team and was the captain of my college team at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Over the years, I’ve coached group fitness and youth sports. I'm an ACE certified Group Fitness Instructor and I’ve always had a passion for helping people unlock their full potential through movement. After taking time to be the primary caregiver for my two kids and online coaching , I felt ready to step back into the fitness world with a team that values community and purpose—and Pursuit was the perfect fit.

Outside the gym, you can find me engaged in outdoor activities with my family, cheering on youth basketball athletes , or making the perfect protein smoothie. I bring big energy and even bigger encouragement—so if you’re ready to push yourself, I’m ready to coach you through it. Let’s get after it!

Purpose & Pursuit

My mission is to inspire others to discover their strength—physically and mentally—through challenging, supportive, and purpose-driven training. I believe in showing up with heart, holding space for growth, and creating a fitness experience that motivates people to push beyond limits, build confidence, and live well.
