  • Jeffrey D.

    "QOL is a one of a kind running group! My first run with QOL was tough, but everyone in the group was so encouraging and helped me persist through the run! The events Dr. Rayner plans after each run are fun, unforgettable, and helps create new friendships! His slogan "it's more than the miles" is a true statement because we are a community!"

  • Cassidy K.

    "In my second year of living in Houston, I decided to branch out and look into run clubs. I stumbled upon QOL and right away Joseph made sure I never felt uncomfortable or nervous. After joining, I've made so many new friends that motivate me to do better each and every day. QOL has become my second family, a home away from home."

  • George S.

    "I've been a runner for a year and a half, and my passion for the sport has only grown stronger, especially when it comes to helping others achieve their goals. QOL Run Club has been the perfect community for this, providing a supportive environment where I can contribute to others' successes. Dr. Rayner is an exceptional physical therapist and coach, with a unique ability to bring the running community together and inspire collective growth. It's truly a group where runners of all levels can thrive and reach their full potential."

  • Omar A.

    "My first time in the running club, Joseph made sure I was included during the whole run, which motivated me to push myself. Since then, I've never stopped showing up every week."

  • Paco C.

    "Dr. Rayner is a welcoming individual. What made his running group stand out from the rest is his commitment towards each and everyone that decides to join. He personally reached out to me and was more than willing to answer any of my questions. The first time you meet him, he immediately introduces you to the group, makes sure you have a great experience, and pushes everyone to do the best they possibly can!"
