Lenzi Marshall
My dream in life has always been to share my undeniable passion for helping others excel in all avenues of physical health and wellness; mind, body, and soul! After serving 4 years for the United States Marine Corps, I went on to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Sports and Health Science. Today, I proudly serve the community of San Diego as a certified Personal Trainer, boxing coach, and dance instructor for Ferly Prado Studios. During the many years I’ve spent leading both one on one, group, and dance fitness, I was also able to attain certifications as a Weight Loss Specialist, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Youth Exercise Specialist, Senior Fitness Specialist, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and last but never least RockSteady Boxing for Parkinson’s Disease. Your girls got certs, on certs, on certs!!! Let me also state that DANCE, is my absolute HAPPY PLACE! My love for dance started while performing on elementary and High School Drill/Dance Teams, and led me all the way to performing with Texas A&M University’s Dance Arts Society while in college. As both a dancer and teacher for Ferly Prado Studios, I’ve been so fortunate as to continue thriving in my passion for dance by participating in various music videos, photoshoots, festivals, fashion runways, cabaret shows, and even the opportunity to check dancing a sold out show in Las Vegas off my dance bucket list!! For me, dance is freedom; it’s joyous, powerful, intimate, and it’s as great for the body as it is for the soul. Dance is truly a gift, and one I plan to expand and share for as long as I possibly can. So come meet me in my happy place, AND LETS F*CK IT UP!!
