About Us
The idea of building community is in the DNA of SoWa Health + Wellness founders Mario, Anna and Giampaolo, the family of legendary property developer Mario Nicosia. Mario is credited with coining the name SoWa, with a goal of revitalizing and defining this important Boston neighborhood. Collectively known as SoWa Centre, the area is a central commercial and residential district of the South End, a core community providing a full complement of shopping, arts & culture, dining, living, health and wellness, entertainment, and special events.
Following their own academic and professional sports paths, Mario, Anna, and Giampaolo are uniquely suited to continue the evolution of SoWa Centre with SoWa Health + Wellness. Their combined skills offer a partnership of trained professionals: Mario, an elite tennis player who studied sports marketing and traveled the world as a competitive athlete, offers the knowledge and experience in designing and maintaining a world-class fitness facility;
She will direct a revolving display of local artists within the space. Giampaolo completes the trio with his business and operations background, directly overseeing the daily management of the gym. Working with a hand-selected team of the region’s top fitness professionals, Mario, Anna and Giampaolo are continuing their father’s vision with SoWa Health + Wellness, building a dedicated fitness community in the heart of the city.
