Coach DéShawn Fairbairn is a NASM certified personal trainer at RetroFitness in the Park Slope South neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. He has participated in Shotokan Karate within the ISKF since the age of 5 and has peaked in Division 1 Fencing while studying at NYU. DéShawn is an active competitor in INBF Men's Physique. He appreciates the strength and sports training above all and enjoys hobbies such as rollerblading, drawing and playing his bass guitar. DeShawn has earned his BA from NYU and plans to study for his DPT/ Ph.D. with a focus on hamstring injuries.
DéShawn’s desire for learning why humans perform the way they do has inspired him to study Kinesiology. Inspired by Bruce Lee and Michael Jai White he uses Karate as a form of active meditation. His fear of God has led him to be an active member in his church as a bassist; combining the spiritual and physical in all that he does.
Lastly, he has taken an old struggle with weight gain into a strength. His aspirations of powerlifting and competing for Men’s Physique has led him to create a website with this idea in mind: defyrelativestrength.com
