DOUGLAS MARROQUIN Trainer

I am Douglas Marroquin, Fighting out of Stamford, Connecticut. Growing up, I was exposed to madness and hostility. Luckily that worked In my favor shaping me and making me the person I am today. I was introduced to boxing at the age of 19, and around then, I was always getting into altercations like any other teen. Thankfully I found a sport that would discipline me and fell in love with it ever since. I am an aspiring world champion and ranked amateur at the time. I believe anything is possible with an ounce of will, a teaspoon of luck, a gram of hope, and a pound of heart.

MARLA CAMBELL Membership Experience Coordinator

My journey at Revolution training began in the spring of 2022 when I first became a member. I signed up for the 12-week challenge as a fight to get my health in check. It was an eye-opener and the start of new beginnings for me, as I began to enjoy working out. It was such a battle for me in the past, and incorporating boxing, changed my whole mindset. It became fun. Shortly thereafter, I was offered a position which I gladly accepted.  There’s no better way of marketing something you were actively a part of.  It is a safe and fun space to be in.
