Original Npros business profile for Trim International, preserved below for archival purposes:

Trim International was a Pensacola, Florida-based network-marketing company founded in 1997 and led by Gary Calhoun. The company marketed weight-management and nutritional products through independent associates and built its compensation program around recurring product purchases, customer sales, and a company-supported advertising system. Florida corporate records show Trim International, Inc. operating from Pensacola with Calhoun as a director and principal executive.

The product line included weight-loss and weight-control supplements, mangosteen products, and other natural-health formulations. Trim International also marketed N-reX and V-reX, two products that became the subject of an FDA warning in January 2006. The company's broader marketing emphasized nutritional supplementation and weight management rather than conventional retail merchandise.

Trim International used an MLM compensation structure that combined product autoship with an unusual advertising program. Associates maintained qualification with approximately $12 in monthly product purchases and could buy advertising packages ranging from $100 to $2,000. The company used television, radio, and other advertising to generate customers that were assigned into participating associates' organizations. Historical compensation materials listed packages providing from 11 purchasing customers at the $100 level to 250 customers at the $2,000 level, with associates earning both initial payments and recurring commissions from customer orders.

In March 2006, the company moved the broader opportunity under the United Pro Media name. Trim International remained the natural-health product line, while additional products and services were consolidated under United Pro Media. Associate websites at mytrim.com were redirected to myupm.com, and commission checks and payments began using the United Pro Media name. United Pro Media, LLC had been formed in Florida in November 2005, with Gary Calhoun as manager.

The business ultimately ceased operations. Both Trim International, Inc. and United Pro Media, LLC were administratively dissolved by the State of Florida on September 24, 2010 after failing to file annual reports. The former mytrim.com website no longer operates as a product or distributor site and is now parked for sale.
