Community Highlights: Meet Antares Brown of Orion 428

Today we’d like to introduce you to Antares Brown.

Hi Antares, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am native of Pensacola, FL. Ran track at the University of South Alabama. Moved to Georgia to pursue a professional Track & Field career. Work a corporate job for roughly 6 years then became a personal trainer. Created my own Brand called Orion 428 where I specialize in group training, weight loss, and mass building. I have been working at The Forum Athletic Club for over 14yrs!!! I am also a type 1 diabetic, so my commitment to fitness and nutrition has nevered wavered.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Being a type 1 diabetic has had many challenges along the way. Just keeping up different medicines and changes in your body as you get older has always been a struggle. Business wise it has its ebbs and flows. Being in a market saturated with gyms and other fitness professionals it has been hard to differentiate myself amongst the crowd. But over the years through the classes I have taught and numerous clients achieving their results I think I have made a name.for myself within this community.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
I think one of the qualities that makes me successful is being a great motivator. Everyone is different and finding what certain factor motivates people has always been a specialty of mine.
