Trainer/Staff Bio

Marguerite started as a member at TITLE 5 years ago before she became a coach. She has always had a love for fitness. She has had her NASM personal training certification for 5 years and is also a NASM certified nutrition coach.

My personal mantra

The only thing stopping you from success is yourself. No excuses.

My training style is:

energetic

My why:

I started at TITLE as a member and become addicted to the club and to boxing in general. As I learned more and more in the health/fitness world, I realized I wanted other people to achieve that feeling of accomplishment that I felt after a workout. I enjoy helping people fight their battles and let out what they need to let out. Boxing has done that for me, and teaching others how to box and blow off some steam on the bag is one of the most rewarding things for me. My goal is to help everyone to be and feel like the best version of themselves.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

I’m always looking to better myself and others and learning new things.

Dashaun boxed in the Amateurs for 8 years and has won several titles, including a National Title Championship in 2016. He made his Professional Boxing Debut in 2018 and has gone 4-1 as a professional boxer. Dashaun is a certified USA Boxing Coach. He has experience training a wide variety of people with differing aspirations. As a professional athlete, he comprehends how hard it can be to get into shape and maintain that physique. He desires to make the training experience enjoyable to motivate people to push themselves and ensure training will be done consistently.

My personal mantra

Let’s do this! I have a personal philosophy that people should believe in themselves and their abilities. We all have what it takes to achieve our dreams within us, it’s all about having the internal belief that you are stronger than what you believe to be. I find a lot of people lack self-confidence and self-motivation and I strive to help build that up in my classes so they have an “I can do it” attitude and feel good about themselves even when they leave the gym.

My training style is:

energetic

My why:

I became a trainer at TITLE because I love boxing and want to help others. Boxing is something I am passionate about and love that it is a full body work-out that isn’t boring. Being able to help others fall in love with the sport, whether it be just for a fitness workout or for those who want to compete, is one reason why I enjoy conducting my classes.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

I get my fighting spirit outside of TITLE from my family. My little brother has Autism, and my uncle has sickle-cell anemia, so I see the battles that they have to go through every day, in addition I also work doing sport for social development with the homeless and working with people who are less fortunate. I feel that I am blessed, and these things makes me want to be a better person and a role model to others. Therefore, I don’t give up and where I get the strength to continue to be strong while turning my dreams into reality.
