"From the mat to the box."

​

Owner of Motives and The Helm CrossFit, Mike DeMarco, made the decision six years ago to start a movement. He envisioned a training facility that everyone could find value, and challenge themselves, physically and mentally each and every day.

​

Mike strived to create an establishment that he didn’t have growing up, a place where not only adults can train but where youth kids and teenagers could change the way they perceived themselves physically and mentally. A place they could train their bodies and minds, whether it is sport specific or just the enjoyment of working
out and living a healthy lifestyle.


As a four-year member of the Rutgers wrestling program from 2008-2012 and team captain 2011-2012, Mike used his past college experience as a foothold to start Motives Movement: Home of The Helm CrossFit. Aside from his sport, as a student-athlete, he earned a B.S. in Exercise Science and Sports Studies- Applied Kinesiology, a credit intensive major, focusing on a strong foundation around human anatomy and physiology, with an emphasis to further expand ones knowledge in the job market.

​

From 2012-2013 Mike continued working with Rutgers wrestling as their strength and conditioning coach. In 2014 Mike earned his CrossFit Level 1 certification. He specializes in sports specific strength and conditioning, group training, programming, Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit.

​

In 2018 Mike returned to Rutgers as the head strength and conditioning coach for the Wrestling, Gymnastics, and Volleyball programs.
