About Alessa Caridi
Alessa, Your Workspace Wellness Expert
Transforming computer-based professionals from exhausted to energizedâone posture reset at a time.
Alessa Caridi is where anatomy meets artistry. She combines anatomy expertise, Pilates precision, and corporate understanding to help busy professionals have productive workdays AND energy for life. Because your workspace should fuel your dreams, not drain them.
Growing up in a medical family shaped Alessa's understanding of the human body from an early age. While other kids colored cartoons, she colored anatomy books from her father's medical school materials. Her great-grandfather was an OBGYN who immigrated from Italy, creating a family culture that valued both health and precision.
Alessa took her first dance class at age two in NYC at the renowned Joffery Ballet school. After her family moved out of NYC, she joined a dance company and spent 20+ hours per week expanding her dance vocabulary; training in ballet, tap, contemporary, and jazz. Throughout her childhood, she performed across the US with her dance company. She earned her BA in World Arts and Cultures from UCLA, completing her Senior Thesis in Anatomy and Injury Prevention for extreme athletes. When injury ended her dance career, she discovered Pilates and pursued multiple certifications, eventually opening studios in two countries.

  How I Developed My Methodology
Training everyone from Marines in Okinawa to Manhattan executives, Alessa noticed the same pattern: 3pm energy crashes, chronic pain, and over-reliance on caffeine. The breakthrough came while living in Japan, observing the daily Radio Taiso practiceâcommunity movement that kept locals energized regardless of age or profession.
This sparked her mission to translate movement science for American desk workers. By combining her anatomy background, Pilates precision, and real-world corporate experience, Alessa developed her signature approach: anatomy-based workspace wellness that transforms sedentary workspaces into movement-friendly environments through micro-movements and precision positioning.
 Â
Through years of speaking to professionals and responding to their feedback, Alessa meticulously documented the most effective tools, tips, techniques, and common pain points. This research became the foundation for her book, The Ultimate Workspace Toolkit (available on Amazon at bit.ly/jobufittoolkit), where she compiled all her knowledge into one comprehensive resource for workplace wellness.
Today, Alessa is the go-to expert for workplace wellness, speaking at Fortune 500 companies and appearing on national media. She's been featured on Good Morning Washington, FOX Chicago, and quoted in Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, and Today Show Health & Wellness. As Global Health and Wellness Ambassador for Women's Entrepreneurship Day Organization, she spoke at the United Nations.
Current Speaking Topics: Workspace ergonomics, posture correction for executives, productivity through movement, preventing workplace injuries, and sustainable energy management.
The JĹbuFIT Story
Born from observation in Okinawa, Japan, JĹbuFIT reimagines workplace wellness for the modern professional. While living abroad, founder Alessa Caridi was inspired by Radio Taiso (ăŠă¸ăŞä˝ć)âthe daily movement practice embraced by Japanese citizens regardless of age or profession. Witnessing how these brief, consistent movement sessions improved overall health and productivity, Alessa knew hardworking Americans needed this approach.
What began as a simple concept has evolved into a comprehensive workplace wellness solution through years of feedback from professionals across industries. JĹbuFIT's philosophy is simple yet revolutionary: just as one healthy meal doesn't create a healthy diet, occasional exercise doesn't create a healthy lifestyle. Instead, brief, intentional movement throughout your workday creates sustainable wellness without disrupting productivity.
Today, JĹbuFIT offers a range of solutions for both individuals and organizations seeking better health without leaving their workspace. From the foundational "Perfect Posture for Computer Pros" to the comprehensive "Workspace Workstyle Upgrade" program, each offering addresses the specific challenges of modern work life.
Whether through Alessa's book "The Ultimate Workspace Toolkit," personalized coaching sessions, or the popular 5-Day Workspace Movement Challenge, JĹbuFIT continues to transform how professionals approach wellness minute-by-minute in the place they have to beâtheir workspace.
The JĹbuFIT Lifestyle
JĹbuFIT, conceived in Japan:
JĹbuFIT is a workplace wellness program modeled after the everyday workout of the people of Japan- one of the worldâs healthiest nations. In Japan every morning, no matter oneâs job, age, or social stature, the music begins and everyone takes the time to start their day with a brief stretch and awakening routine, known as (ăŠă¸ăŞä˝ć) Rajio Taiso. Seeing this healthy lifestyle everyday while in Japan, Alessa knew this healthy habit belonged in the west. This is where JĹbuFIT was conceived.
Translating ăŠă¸ăŞä˝ć to America:
Returning from Japan, Alessa traveled around NYC to try out her new program on busy working professionals. From their feedback, Beta Testing in small businesses, and a drive to create the best, most effective product the JĹbuFIT Subscription was created!
