Mark Brown – Coach

Mark Brown II is your friendly neighborhood Black Puerto Rican queer person who wants nothing more than to teach you how to improve your back squat while blasting Honey Dijon, and other house music, in the background.

Originally from a small tiny hamlet of >200 people in the USA, he has practiced Crossfit for almost a decade (OMG how time flies) with him starting in Miami (s/o Crossfit Downtown Miami) and finding himself here at Crossfit South Yarra.

Outside of figuring out his starting position for the snatch, he is a software developer, up-and-coming pianist, and Melbourne’s premier (aka only) singin-actin-dancin-Crossfittin muscle drag queen eleganza Nefertiti LaNegra!
