Marquise Law
Coach WR's
Born and raised in the city of Miami Florida where you are taught at a young age anything short of greatness is selling yourself short. As a captain of three sports football, basketball and track I picked up many skills that could be used to teach athletes and fitness lovers to greatness. Taught and groomed by some of the most prolific coaches in the world I learned what it was to push my limits and make hard things easy. Received college offers by some of the most prominent universities in the country I chose to attend Colorado State university where I played as a true freshman and throughout my entire career there. This taught me valuable things about training and about life. Upon leaving attempted the professional career of football. When this didn't happen I yearned to teach young athletes the many things I learned on all levels. I begin to coach and make athletes better in southern Orange County and formed Lion's Den Athletics. Here my main focus is getting fitness lovers to the next level through intensity and science proven workouts all while making it a fun experience. Our main slogan is "We don't get weary". I say this a ton because life will throw tons of adversity at you, but you can't get weary. If you continue to work and persevere, the sky is the limit.
