Super Nova of The Month: Dino Rossi
Congratulations to Dino Rossi, our December 2025 SuperNova!
Dino has been training with Nova since February, and we chose him as our December SuperNova for this reason:
His commitment to showing up for his health, no matter what life throws at him. Over the past year has trained consistently, built mobility and strength across every major lift, and hit daily activity goals like 7-8k steps - even while navigating the difficult loss of his wife this past year.
Even through the hardest chapter of his life, he has held onto movement, gratitude and the belief that exercise, breathwork, rest and routine are tools for living a stronger, calmer life.
๐ Read on to hear how Dino has been approaching his health this year.
Mindset & Motivation
You’ve been incredibly consistent since joining Nova in February this year. What has helped you stay committed week after week, especially on days when motivation is low?
“Because I believe that when you make a commitment you stay with it. exercise, deep breathing, proper diet & rest aren’t luxuries, they are tools for a calmer & stronger life.”
Has your mindset around health changed over the past year since you started with Nova?
“My mind set has not changed. I’ve always believed in fitness and all its positive aspects.”
Training & Progress
In addition to the 2x/wk you train at Nova, what does your activity routine look like and why does this routine work for you? For example, are there activities like walking that you do outside of workouts?
“Yes, I’ve been going to a chiropractor once a week for more than 20 years, I go for massages every 2 weeks, I go to a stretch lab once a week, I walk at least 5,000 steps every day, I play golf 2 to 3 times per week when possible, etc.”
What recent health, strength or fitness accomplishment are you most proud of and WHY?
“All the things I mentioned in above plus playing 3 rounds of golf in one day (for many years) with three other golfers...until COVID came along.”
Lifestyle Changes & Challenges
What obstacles have you had in the past year (if any) that got in the way of your momentum - and how have you overcome them?
“My wife passed away on May 21, 2025 within 6 weeks of getting diagnosed with cancer. We had a fairy-tale marriage for more than 54 years. I will never be able to overcome this, I can only learn to live with it with the support of my amazing children and the many friends I’m lucky to have.”
Could you tell us about any specific routines, habits or ‘hacks’ that you believe contributed to your health this past year? For example, is there a specific nutrition, recovery or stress management plan that you feel has really worked for you?
“Have a positive ATTITUDE (the single word success formula), Practice gratitude, nurture your mind and body, accept what you can’t control.”
Future Focus
How has sticking to your health and fitness plan benefited your life? For example, has being more healthy or more fit allowed you to do new things that you could not before or has it positively impacted the lives of others you care about?
“It has greatly contributed to my ability to run my business, travel the world and have a happy life. Until 6 months ago when I lost my wife.”
What does success in health fitness look like for you going forward and are there new goals you are focused on next?
“Until COVID came along, I felt 30 + years younger than my actual age. My body never felt the same after getting 5 Covid injections & Covid itself. Not nearly the same level of energy. If I could go back, I would not take the 5 injections… I would like to see what I can accomplish in this area going forward.”
Dino’s story shows what commitment to health looks like. He reminds us that consistency, mindset and focusing on what you
can control are what carry you through life’s hardest moments.
