My name is Glenn Payne Jr. I’m a certified personal trainer and the creator of the training concept Faster Stronger Wiser. The concept faster Stronger Wiser is to have a "faster mind," a "stronger body," and a "wiser spirit." I was born in Washington D.C. and raised in Pasadena, California. As a child I was very athletic, so I strived towards a career in sports. My dreams of playing professional basketball led me to Dallas, Texas where I played three years for the United Basketball League. In 2009 I dislocated my knee midway into my first semi pro basketball season. I spent 2 years rehabilitating myself back to playing shape and my faith grew stronger through the process. With no insurance I was forced to rehabilitate myself. Instead of giving up I spent months studying kinesiology and rehabilitative exercises. After my rehab I noticed I was a faster and stronger player than I was before I was injured. I was also a lot wiser due to me studying the human body to speed up my recovery. That’s where the concept Faster Stronger Wiser came from. People noticed a major change in my performance and physique and wanted to know how I got that way so I decided to pursue a career in personal training. In my five years as a trainer I’ve acquired six fitness certifications and two nutrition certifications; . NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) Personal Trainers Certification . NESTA (National Exercise and Sports Training Association) Personal Trainer Certification . NCCPT (National Council of Certified Personal Trainers) Personal Trainers Certification .
