ABOUT US
ucas's Fitness Lab is a 501c3 nonprofit with a vision shared between Dennis Remorca, an entrepreneur in the health and wellness industry, and Rob Monahan who has been teaching K-12 students in NYC for over 20 years. L
The concept for Lucas's was inspired by multiple events that the two experienced during their 25-year friendship. Rob, a five-time cancer survivor, was a mentor and a key catalyst in the early stages of Dennis's career and taught him that anything is possible with enough drive, a problem-solving mindset, and the coping skills needed to move forward when things go wrong.
After Dennis' son Lucas was born, he lost his father after a hard-fought battle with cancer. His view of the world changed dramatically. These events led to Dennis joining Rob in the nonprofit community and to the birth of the idea for Lucas's Fitness Lab.
Our mission statement is..."Giving kids the tools they need to build fit bodies and fit brains." What it really means though, is that all kids should have access to the tools needed to succeed and they should be trained to use those tools so that they can enjoy lifelong success. Making sure that there are no barriers holding back our youth when it comes to education, health & wellness, and mentorship is critical!
3
OUR MISSION Giving youth the tools they need to become creative problem-solvers in order to build a better tomorrow. We collaborate with community-builders, educators, and philanthropists.
When passionate like-minded individuals act as mentors for our community's youth with the common goal of creating safe spaces where we can encourage their socialemotional development, academic achievements, and physical health and wellness. By establishing relationships and connecting stakeholders within the community, Lucas’s Fitness Lab has created a synergy that supports programs addressing the diverse needs of the youth we serve. This includes mentorship and leadership opportunities; 21st century STEM, Arts, and Literacy initiatives, and cutting-edge health and wellness programming.

Characteristics of a Maker Resilience: When you make a project hands-on, you quickly learn that “failure” is just information to help you improve your design and succeed.
Confidence: When you succeed in solving the problems by iterating and making,
:
Innovation and Creativity: When there is no “right way,”
you learn you are able to solve all kinds of problems, in all areas of life. You develop cognitive and
you learn how to invent new ways.
metacognitive strategies that help you solve more and more complex real-world problems
Maker-style education is dedicated to the idea that we learn best through creative hands-on purposeful activities. In the process of making things and solving problems, we develop our thinking and learning capacities. At Lucas’s Fitness Lab, we created the makerspace of the future. THINK CREATE MAKE Makerspace 2.0 is a space where we integrate cutting edge innovation and technology with world class creativity to inspire and expose our community to the skills they need for the jobs of tomorrow.
Think Create Make : Makerspace 2.0 is built on establishing a maker’s culture: Taking hands-on creativity a step beyond DIY, and establishing a problem-solving mindset in the community at large. Giving people the ability to create is one of the most powerful tools in establishing or reaffirming their self-worth and confidence. Our mission is to make sure all youth in NYC have the opportunity to learn STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) skills through positive mentorship experiences which are grounded in service learning.
Our “Maker” education style is a gamified project/problem-based and confidencebuilding way to learn challenging concepts. These kinds of skills transfer well to 21st century jobs, because Maker projects unlock innovative abilities! All people have unique talents and differyent ways of thinking and visualizing solutions. The things that make us different should be recognized and celebrated

Lucas’s Fitness Lab’s Fit Bodies program offers students & health professionals, education and mentorship that are aligned with NYSED’s Physical Education Learning Standards adopted in 2020. One of the new overarching goals of our program is the establishment of Physical Educational Lifelong Practices. We are looking to set our community’s youth the ability to acquire sustainable lifelong practices, promoting community membership, a healthy lifestyle, and the positive impacts of physical activity!
Our comprehensive program is deep rooted in our experiences in our private sector company, RFX Studios (formerly Remorca Fitness) as one of the industry leaders in health and wellness! Lucas’s Fitness Lab was initially created to offer the private sector’s expertise in health and wellness to our community's youth. As the founder of Remorca Fitness (now RFX STUDIOS) he owned and operated 4 personal training and wellness centers, and educated/mentored hundreds within the fitness community. He and Rob’s initial concept of supplying our youth with Lucas’s Fitness Backpack in 2017 is what led to what Lucas's Fitness Lab is today. All of these experiences coupled with RFX Strength which is the gym equipment manufacturing and facilities design company creates the synergy and education we want to help educators, administrators and students in their wellness journey.
Youth fitness is more than just teaching kids the concept of fitness, it is instilling the concept of building upon ones failure, coping through adversity and the confidence associated with success through perseverance.

Through our service learning programs we empower kids as creators and give them ability give to other who are in need when they themselves may not have much to give....this is a very powerful tool inspiring the leaders of tomorrow
We want our youth to view the world through the lens as a creator and independent thinker.
