Title: Owner
Company: Body Construct LLC

Hometown: Berlin
College: Tunxis Community College
A 2008 graduate of Tunxis Community College, Lori-Ann Marchese originally planned on becoming a dental hygienist. That all changed when she started training with male trainers and realized they didn't understand a women's body's needs. She then developed her own workout platform and won several fitness titles.
In 2011, Marchese launched her fitness company Body Construct. While helping women improve their overall health, Marchese has appeared on the television channel Bravo, in the programs Entertainment Tonight and Show Biz Tonight, and in publications like People, Star, Glamour and the New York Post. She has been on the cover of Fitness Magazine eight times, as well as on the cover of Millennium magazine.
Body Construct runs several fundraisers and events for charity, particularly helping local homelss children. Marchese's company has donated to The Village for Children, Mercy Shelter, and the New Britain Homeless Shelter.
In 30 years, why should Hartford Business Journal give you a Lifetime Achievement award? It would be an absolute honor if the Hartford Business Journal gave me the Lifetime Achievement Award. I work hard every day to not only pursue my dreams but to help women feel great, believe in themselves, and feel confident through fitness and health. If in 30 years I can look back at my life and say, 'Wow, I had the honor of working with so many women and helping them transform their lives,' then I know my job has been done. It is my lifetime mission to help as many women as possible find a fun place to work out and a place where fitness meets sisterhood. Women empowering women is my platform.
When Hollywood makes a movie about your entire life and career, what will the title and tagline be? 'Super Hero in Yoga Pants: A woman on a mission' My everyday attire is black yoga pants and a tank top with my messy bun. Every day, when I wake up, Body Construct is on my mind; every night before I go to bed, Body Construct is on my mind. Every second, every minute my mind races to think of ideas. I constantly question myself, 'What can I do to help women feel even better? What can I do to make their experience even more exciting?' Body Construct girls are like my kids! I love them, I support them, I am here for them every step of the way, and I push them to believe in themselves!
During my time off I am most passionate about… Spending time with my husband and family
