Dwayne Brown, CSCS CPT
I'm born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Brooklyn is home. I've left a few times but I always come back. Nowadays, if I'm not working you can usually find me walking around the South Slope with my wife and our fro'ed out 2 year old son. If I'm not with them, you might catch me running through the neighborhood or get a glimpse of me working out on our roof deck.
I've rooted for the Jets, Mets and Knicks since I've known what it meant to root for something. I adopted the Green Bay Packers when I was like 12 years old because it didn't seem right that a child should have to endure the torture that comes with rooting for the Jets, Mets and Knicks.
I've been working as a certified personal trainer for 11 years. Before becoming a personal trainer I worked as a certified athletic trainer working both in a physical therapy clinic and covering high school/collegiate athletic events. I received my Bachelor's degree athletic training/exercise science from Ithaca College in 2003. I became a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist in 2005. I received my Precision Nutrition certification in 2010. I also hold certifications in Pre/Post Natal exercise, kettlebell training and body weight exercise.
![I would like to take a minute to bring something up.
Today I was out for a run. Towards the end of the run I was #cutshamed. Not only was I cut shamed, I was cut shamed by none other than my own barber @brooklyn_master_barbershop
