Brian Chih-Yu Yang, BHK 2011, found his beginnings in Kinesiology as a young athlete who had suffered a devastating sports injury. He had been seriously hurt at the age of 17 while playing a game of basketball, which resulted in a chronic spinal injury — he has multiple slipped discs in his lower back, which cause leg and back pain. However, though his injury was serious, Brian did not let the pain from his injury limit his life.
He realized that his passion for sports nutrition could profoundly influence his ability to overcome his challenges, and subsequently became captivated by the idea of sports injury prevention.
Since then, Brian has gone above and beyond conquering his injury. Brian has become extremely experienced in the international fitness industry in Vancouver, Taipei, and Shanghai, where he is currently situated. He has 10+ years of work in nutrition application to fitness, weight management nutrition, nutrition for professional athletes, and sports injury prevention. He is the managing director of Physical Education Fitness Studio, owner of ‘Freeze Age’ fitness studio, and also Asia’s Consultant & Master Trainer for the ISSN (International Society of Sport Nutrition). The ISSN is the only non-profit academic society dedicated to promoting the science and application of evidence-based sports nutrition and supplementation.
Brian dreams of helping others to find the right nutrition programs, to live injury-free lifestyles and maximize their athletic performance through professional nutrition & fitness guidance. He will also be creating a KIN Alumni chapter in Shanghai with his fellow alumnus, Randy Zhou, BKin 2014.
