*As Marcel Mayfield looks across her newly opened Train TB Fit Elite Club in Lawrenceville, GA, she can already envision what the next several years will look like. One word, Successful. After all, settling for anything less than excellence has always been a big no-no for the Guyanese physique model and master fitness trainer. Hard work, determination and a no-excuses mindset has been embedded in her DNA since childhood, which is why the now 50 year-old bundle of energy has won numerous awards, competed in national competitions and is a highly sought-after coach and mentor to many men and women in the fitness world. She is in remarkable shape and frequently outperforms trainers and gym-goers half her age.
“The key is being disciplined and realizing that you only have one body, so you might as well take care of it,” she said. “I put in the work and that is why I get the results. It’s that simple.”
Well, no one can argue that she puts in the work. However, it definitely isn’t simple. Mayfield trains daily and adheres to a strict diet which has helped her to garner amazing results that most people could only dream of. Chiseled arms, legs like a track star and washboard abs. Still, while it is far from easy, she emphasizes that women and men at an “advanced age” do not have to give up on their fitness goals. They just have to be more diligent. Fitness is Mayfield’s life. She eats, sleeps and breathes it – and now, she is on a mission to help as many people as possible to live their best, most confident and healthy lives as well.

According to a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics, only 23 percent of Americans are getting enough exercise. In Mayfield’s home state of Georgia, only 1 in 5 (or 20.2 percent) of adults ages 18-64 meet the guidelines for aerobic and strength exercise. That was one of the inspirations behind the opening of Train TB Fit, to create a healthier and more active community. Her fitness center features everything from general membership, elite 1 on 1 training, group training, competition prep, massages and other forms of therapy. She has implemented special programs for students, stay at-home moms and seniors. She does it all.
“It is about quality of life and knowledge. A lot of people don’t know, so I want to teach them how to have a better quality of life,” she said. “Most people say they don’t have the time, but it is all about priorities. You have to decide that you want to be your best, and then you must embrace the process. You can do it.”
Mayfield is looking to make a major impact and leave a strong and long-lasting legacy. As a rising fitness influencer, she is sure to draw a great deal of attention, and she wants to make sure she takes full advantage. Her goal is to open numerous Train TB Fit gyms across the country.
