Willie Revillame hired Hazel Calawod as his fitness trainer
Sports therapist Hazel Calawod, the therapist of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, shared how she was hired by Wil To Win host Willie Revillame.
Willie has been in showbiz for many decades already. He already starred in different TV shows and movies. In recent years, he has been doing game shows.
His current show Wil To Win is on TV5. Apparently, he had to leave the show for a moment when the campaign season would start. Willie filed his certificate of candidacy for senator. He has been hinting at his political plans for the 2025 elections.
After the hesitation, he eventually decided to pursue a career in politics. As part of his preparation in entering the political arena, Willie also paid attention to his health.
The veteran TV host shared that he hired a fitness trainer to prepare him physically and it was Hazel Calawod, who helped Carlos Yulo in his journey to the Olympics. In a recent interview, based on the article in Manila Bulletin, the sports therapist said that she was not referred to Willie Revillame. He was contacted by the TV host’s consultant.
“I was contacted by the consultant (of Willie) because I think they studied my credentials on LinkedIn. His team reviewed how I trained Carlos and they saw how precise I was in adjusting the biomechanical alignments, so that’s it,” Hazel shared.
She also shared that she was hired because she understands rehabilitation well and she can customize a routine for the veteran TV host. This would help will deal with the challenges he will face, both physically and mentally, when election campaigns start.
Hazel said that her main goal is to lessen the risk of lifestyle diseases for Willie. She would be in charge of finding ways how a busy person can be healthy, considering Willie’s age as well.
“One, I intend to provide Sir Willie short training programs to just give him a chance to get used to his system first. Because, of course, it’s not possible for the body and mind to get used to it right away,” the fitness trainer shared.
Hazel Calawod also said that she will give Willie Revillame brain-based physical exercises that can help lessen the pressure. She will also focus on the nutritional aspect of this journey.
