History

Established in 1993.

Always Running continued to grow throughout the years based on clients’ needs and resulting in Tony hiring his first employee in 1997, a personal trainer to help build clients’ strength training. In that same year, Always Running opened its first mini-​gym location in a one-​car garage.

As clients’ confidence in Coach Tony and his staff increased, they began to ask for coaching outside of running, including triathlons, climbing and cycling.

After building a strong foundation of clients and programs, Always Running began to expand again in 1999 moving from the Eastside to its current location in Greenlake — the hub of Seattle’s running community — right next to Super Jock n’ Jill. This gave Always Running the space to offer more cardio and strength training equipment as well as a fleet of mountain bikes, access to Greenlake for open water swimming and indoor cycling and core classes

Meet the Business Owner

Tony W.

Business Owner

Tony began running April 5, 1979. He was a 14 year old 8^th grader at PS 5 in Patterson, New Jersey. The first day of practice changed his life forever. Ken asked Tony if he brushed his teeth every day. When the reply was «of-​course,» Ken simply replied «then you can run a mile every day.»

The night before his first track race, Tony wrote a note to his parents and hung it on his bedroom door. It read, «Do not disturb, runner asleep.» It was signed «Always Running, Tony Williams.» Since then Tony has logged over 70,000 miles in his running career with only 80 days missed during his first 20 years of running. He excelled as a high school, collegiate and post-​collegiate runner, and was a two-​time Jr. National champion. While attending Virginia Tech he won the NCAA Division I All-​American honors in both the 10,000 meter and cross country events. Tony became a Nike sponsored athlete in 1984, maintaining that sponsorship until 1997. In 1996 he completed the US Olympic Men’s Marathon Trials.
