About
Kevin DeMarco, an ACE Certified Fitness Trainer and Certified Chef from the NY Restaurant School, has a unique vision and certain passion for living a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
From childhood experiences baking for large, Italian family gatherings to helping in the neighborhood bakery, Kevin found a passion for food at a very early age. After graduating Culinary School with honors, Kevin had the opportunity to work along side many Celebrity Chef’s like Chef Wayne Nish, Chef Michael Morano and in 1996 opened doors to a Tuscan eatery called Cibo with Tyler Florence of current Food Network fame. His various experiences in restaurants not only in NY but also in CA expanded the creative and fresh way of combining foods and flavors. By mixing salty and sweet, spicy tart and sour and even using crunch as a “flavor” thus combining not just flavors but senses as well.
As happens in life, changes brought Kevin to Myrtle Beach where he dedicated his time and energy to training for the Excalibur Bodybuilding Competitions which he finished in 2nd or 3rd place each year from 
2004-2006. All the while creating, opening and running the quaint and trendy De Marco Cafe, a Health Food Cafe in Little River SC. But don’t let the term “health food” scare you off, featured items on the menu included a Spicy Veggie Wrap or Salad that included Mediterranean White Bean Salad with a smoked jalapeno mayo, honey roasted sunflower seeds, daikon sprouts, carrots, jicama and guacamole. Or how about the Moroccan with Israli Cous Cous with sun-dried apricots, toasted almonds, crispy shallots and cherry tomatoes served on top orange-coriander dressed greens. WOW! Flavor, spice, crunch all completely healthy not to mention SATISFYING!
Mid 2009 Kevin yet again branched out on his own to open Demarco Studio, the fitness training studio now located off 5th Avenue in beautiful downtown Wilmington. Kevin offers customized training programs, one-on-one training sessions as well as couples training in the studio. Outside of the studio he works with small groups combining concepts of Pilates, Yoga, Plyometrics and Functional Training to cater to any age and any fitness level.
