FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

WILLIAM MARSHALL, Benswic, 2473 Frederick Douglass Blvd., first fl.; benswic.com instead of encouraging unrealistic goals or “beach body in 30 days” types of quick fixes, Benswic owner William Marshall zeroes in on clients’ individual strengths and weaknesses in four key areas of fitness: strength, cardio, balance, and core. “William’s goal is for you to have a working body into old age, for you to be an athlete your entire life,” says human-rights activist Idalin Bobé, who says she feels stronger and more flexible after a year of working out with Marshall. In addition to private ($80) and small-group ($65) training sessions for adults, Benswic offers youth programs, including track and soccer summer camps and afterschool athletic-training classes. And his business is truly family-run, with Marshall’s wife, Shavon, teaching dance classes and the couple’s oldest daughter, Bryana, working as a trainer and management assistant.
