Our Studio
Prior to knowing one another, Marla and Deshawn shared the same dream of helping people feel better.
In their separate lives, they each sought exercise as a medium for healing – Marla as a dedicated yoga pracitioner and Deshawn as a semi-pro athlete and personal trainer. After they met, Marla shared with Deshawn her dream of owning a yoga and fitness studio. With his unwavering support and encouragement, Marla opened QCF in March of 2016. In 2018, as the studio began to expand beyond yoga into strength-training and HIIT, Deshawn left his career in the restaurant industry to become co-owner and CFO of QCF.
Our mission at Queen City Fitness is to help as many people as possible feel better through awesome teaching, incredible support, and authentic communication.
Our vision is a compassionate community of authentic people who feel content with themselves.
Our business is built on six core values – love, community, vulnerability, honesty, discipline, and equality.
