BEST GYM IN BROOKLYN

Daniel Salazar, a native New Yorker born and raised on Lower East Side of Manhattan New York. He always had a love for sports and being active. Despite being an aggressive rollerblader and Thai boxing from his early  teen years, always battled with his weight. Over the years, he would study and educate himself on different methods to become more physically fit.

He found that he was able to combine his love of science with his competitive nature. It was then that he decided to pursue a career as a Personal Trainer. As a former trainer for a high end health and sports club, he has tremendous experience working with individuals of all fitness levels.

Daniel took his love for fitness to the next level in 2010 when he open his gym Krank Brooklyn. Along the way, to aid in developing his “coach’s eye,” he continues his education year after year and holds multiple certifications, accreditations and attends workshops and seminars year after year.

Daniel prides himself on his ability to bring energy and encouragement to sessions at Krank Brooklyn giving clients a one of a kind training session like they never before.

Ayman’s journey into health and fitness began during his senior year of high school.

This Brooklyn native recalls growing up as, what he states, an underachieving youth who did just enough to get by. But found a coach and the weight room. What began as something he started to do to lose weight and trying to impress girls has grown and developed into much more.

The lessons he learned in the weight room have carried over to every facet of his personal and professional life.

The discipline, confidence and courage to follow through with ideas, pursuits, and goals that I could never imagine for myself at an earlier age.

Understanding that planning and strategy to are keys to achieving what he wanted out of life are invaluable tools that he hopes to pass down to the next crop of youth trainees.
