Meet Marcella

Marcella has been committed to changing her lifestyle through fitness and nutrition for many years. She is dedicated to staying on this continuum through total body strength training and a balanced diet. She grew up an athlete and eventually found her joy in running and group fitness classes, such as, cycling, boxing, boot camp, and climbing. She is transitioning from being the student to instructor so she can share her journey with others. She wants to inspire others to set goals and make whole body changes. Her enthusiasm for group rhythmic fitness classes is motivating and you will find yourself addicted to her beat based classes.
