About PEAKS and the Founder

My name is Antonio Sierra, I’m a husband, father, runner, podiatrist and running coach. I began my running coaching business in March 2023 prior to my residency training with the goal of one day being able to unite my love for running, the physiology of training, and patients in need of care from a physician that understanded the needs and demands of a runner. As time went on through my training, I became increasingly dissatisfied with the treatment options that I saw being given to runners that only treated their acute symptoms which failing to treat the underlying mechanisms that would keep them healthy for the long-haul. From 2023-2026 I spent my free time traveling around the country learning from the best physicians in sports medicine, learning and developing the intricacies of gait analysis and gait retraining for runners, conducting running gait related research, coaching over 40 runners of all ages – all while becoming trained in foot and ankle reconstructive surgery. In developing PEAKS, my goal is to provide a different experience that will connect individuals that are tired of the conventional physician approach that only targets symptom improvement. We perform comprehensive assessments and provide personalized treatment options that gets to the root of the issue and gets you back to doing what you love for as long as you’d like.

Beyond sports medicine, the goal for PEAKS is to also unite passionate runners that are excited about pursuing ambitious goals and are willing to dive in through personalized coaching.
