NASM certified personal trainer, Mario L. Mendias, has worked in the health industry for over 15 years. “I have spent the greater part of my life training clients, always looking for ways to help them work smarter not harder," says Mario. "It’s not just about the measurable results you want, but more importantly, about keeping the results and getting them the right way, the lasting way.”

Mario understands that in addition to a well balanced exercise program, nutrition is key to optimal health. Dissatisfied with the array of commercial meal plans available to his clients, My Fit Foods was born. To create nutrionally sound foods high in nutrients with minimal processing, Mario consults with registered dietitians and world class all-natural bodybuilders. He reads nutrition/fitness-based books and articles to learn more about the truths and falsehoods of diet and exercise. And most importantly, he practices what he preaches.

Mendias is a former Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps stationed out of Twentynine Palms, California. As a Sergeant, he oversaw the daily physical fitness activities for over 45 Marines in his platoon. He served overseas with two tours in Japan and one tour in the Persian Gulf. After an honorable discharge, he became a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NACM)-certified personal trainer. He managed seven different 24 Hour Fitness locations, and eventually became an independent trainer. In addition to owning My Fit Foods, he still trains clients in the River Oaks area.
