IFBB Pro Mark Alvisi's New Supplement Store

By: Russ Greenberg

While the crew at MUSCLE INSIDER were freezing up in Canada; it was a beautiful sunny day in Delray Beach, Florida for the grand opening of IFBB Pro Mark Alvisi's new supplement store. Mayor Nelson McDuffie and the Chamber of Commerce were both on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony welcoming the new business in the health and fitness industry. The beat of the Boynton Beach drum line rumbled through the hundreds in attendance as most local competitors, athletes and fitness buffs were there to support Mark Alvisi and his new fiancée Ava Cowan. Their sponsor, Rich Gaspari of Gaspari Nutrition and his crew were in the house to show their support. Locals were there to get product samples, to meet the Pros and to hear the latest on the new products in sports nutrition and of course MUSCLE INSIDER was the main topic for discussion! Just kidding.). There was $3,000 worth of prizes and giveaways in a raffle to benefit Spirit of Giving Network and radio X102.3 was there to cover it all live. Other notable mentions in attendance included BSN's Bob Chicherillo who was there to emcee the event. Nathalia Melo of Nutrex was there looking hot as she prepares for the Arnold Classic. Pro Shawn Rhoden was there along with former BSN fitness model Anthony Presciano and Michelle Levesque hosted the Fit Body contest which gave out $3,000 in cash and prizes to the male and female winners. Also there attending their booths were IFBB pro Bill Willmore, Hany Rambod and Paul DelPozo. Other top supplement companies on hand to show their support included Zero Limits, Natural Muscle, Dymatize, Champion Nutrition, Amino Rip, Muscleology, Purus Labs and GAT. CJ's Elite Competition Suits, fitness photographers Eva Simon and Alex Gonzales, Marathon Muscle, and Core Institute were also there showing their support. It was great to see everyone who came to South Florida.
