Show up to the evening classes at Steelworks and chances are you’ll run into a young lady from Staten Island, NY. Growing up as a dancer, Katie Pizzulo (soon to be Marchesiello!) has grown to love . “I have never been an athlete, and this experience made me realize I can be strong and powerful. It also provides me with an hour escape from my crazy life and just focus on me.”

Given her love of reading (Victorian literature specifically) it’s no surprise that “Katie P” is currently a 6th grade English/Language Arts teacher in Delaware and dreams of becoming a literature professor specializing in Women’s Studies.

Training at the gym for nearly a year and a half, Katie finds the people she trains with to be a key reason explaining her love of training at Steelworks . “I love the community that has been formed at Steelworks, and feel a great sense of belonging,” says Katie. It doesn’t hurt that she has noticed a tremendous uptick in her energy levels, too!
