Markell is originally from Southern California and has been around the health and fitness space his whole life. After playing football for over 10 years, he was faced with a challenge on how to train with a purpose after no longer being in a team-setting. Not wanting to be glued to a desk, this shift sparked his passion to coach former athletes, complete beginners and those who have sedentary lifestyles, create healthy rhythms with exercise. On top of his experience with helping people with their body composition, he also focuses on restoring movement and injury prevention to improve performance.
