Who We Are

HOW IT ALL STARTED

NuProCore Fitness Co. was founded in 2002 after the owner, Mario, participated in his first powerlifting competition, securing second place in the bench press event. Mario was inspired by his own personal trainer and powerlifter, Dwayne Meeks, a local boutique gym owner, and mentor who imparted versatile and open-minded training methods in his new company, NuProCore Fitness Co. Mario developed a passion for helping individuals achieve their fitness goals. Over time, he expanded into nutrition and recovery training, positively impacting people of all ages and body types. The company's first crowning achievement was securing a U.S. patent for its flagship product, the NuProCore® Cycle. Today, through its flagship product line and personalized fitness services, NuProCore Fitness Co. aims to promote longevity, assist with pain management, and promote overall health and wellness so that members from diverse backgrounds can enjoy a higher quality of life for years to come.

MEET OUR LEADERS

Mario

Mario Dew | Inventor, President & CEO

Mario is a strong leader, problem solver, creative thinker, team builder, creator, and exceptional collaborator who is passionate about the health and wellness industry. He is an experienced and certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist who will serve as the face of the NuProCore® Fitness Co., curating its unique product line while engaging in frequent travel to health and wellness events.

Starting as a humble athlete at the age of 15, Mario’s fitness career has spanned over two decades in the health, wellness, and recovery industry. Savvy in entrepreneurship, from 2002 to 2022, as a boutique business owner in Chicago, IL, and the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area, Mario built a six-figure mobile fitness business. At these locations, he also managed and oversaw the daily operations, hired, trained, and scheduled employees, retained clients, and worked diligently to maintain quality standards.

Mario has an extensive portfolio of training clients with various underlying health conditions and physical limitations, such as back and knee problems. His clients often found it challenging to use conventional cardiovascular exercise equipment for exercise. During rehabilitation sessions, many of his clients were offered limited rehabilitation care to regain mobility and recover from injury. This desire to help his clients push through their physical limitations sparked his invention of the NuProCore® Cycle, the company’s flagship inversion system product line.
