Who am I and where have I been?
Hello. My name is Pio J Cabada and I am a certified fitness and
wellness instructor and a licensed social worker. I serve
people to create positive changes by way of personal & group
fitness and wellness training/coaching and social work. My
exercise regimen is creative, fun, and safe. Your and/or your
group's fitness and wellness will always be attended to.
I started in the fitness and wellness industry in 1987 due to my
personal struggles. When I was younger, I had a difficult home
life, so I left home at an early age, and later got into an
unhealthy relationship. Becoming fit gave me the strength and
courage to leave that relationship and realize my dream of
becoming a performer. I performed in such shows as A Chorus
Line, West Side Story, The King and I, and many others. While
performing, I continued my fitness and wellness program and
taught classes around New York City .
In my 30s I left the performing arts, got into the banking
industry, continued teaching fitness, and began another
relationship. I was very unhappy with my banking job so even
though I was fit I was not well. I decided to redesign my
wellness strategy and went back to school to get my masters
degree.
While in school I worked full-time in banking, part-time in
fitness, was healing from the fallout of my last relationship, and
I gained 65 lbs. My doctor wanted to put me on all kinds of
medications to treat aches and pains, stress-related adult-
onset asthma, and to lower my cholesterol, triglycerides, and
blood pressure. Once again, I restructured my personal
wellness program and took control of my situation.
Now in my 40s, I have lost the extra 65 lbs, my health is great,
and I feel more fit than ever. I am extremely thankful that,
having discovered fitness and wellness in my teens, it has
been and always will be my saving grace.
Someday I'll write a book to share more details, but for now I am
available to those who want to know how I did it. Please call for
an appointment.
