"I was looking for something that would complement my current fitness routine that could easily fit in during my lunch hour and not leave me a sweaty mess after. That’s when I found Alessa... she took the time to ease me into the movements and explain how they worked to strengthen and lengthen my muscles. I was hooked!"
"Alessa did a great job in sharing her expertise; we learned about the importance of proper posture and body alignment. We especially appreciated the opportunity to practice some helpful functional fitness routines which I have since incorporated into my daily life. I highly recommend her services. (Dec ‘16)"
"Prior to JōbuFIT, I suffered extensive back and lower back problems. There were many days when I would wake up in pain, and it was only after a few hours into the day that my pain would subside to decently bearable levels. I would often sit in positions that I thought would be helpful in aiding these pains, but little did I know that my posture actually contributed to these existing pains. I decided something had to be done. That's when I was introduced to Alessa Caridi and JōbuFIT, and my life changed for the better. After a few short experiments with the exercise videos, I noticed that the problems that I was having with my back and lower back gradually started to improve. I make it a top priority to sit up nice and straight, no longer leaning more to one side or sitting while slightly hunched over. These are obviously conscious choices that an individual must make on his or her own, but it is imperative to understand that JōbuFIT and the wonderful individuals affiliated with this organization can provide insightful guidance and recommendations to help make you the best and healthiest that you can be!"
"I had the great opportunity to work with Alessa during my first pregnancy and afterwards while we both were living in Okinawa, Japan. She's extremely knowledgeable and professional, a great mentor and health advocate. I felt strong and confident during childbirth and I honestly think it was because I continued to work with Alessa up until my 37th week of pregnancy. I also bounced back quickly after having baby and never felt better about my core strength. She's a fantastic trainer!"
"I have Alessa to thank for my love for Pilates. I took my first ever Pilates class with Alessa and have been hooked ever since. Alessa's teaching style is professional yet friendly which immediately puts you at ease. It is very quickly evident that you are in the hands of an expert who is there to help you reach your full potential."
"The whole room was encouraged that making such little corrections in our posture can revolutionize our attitude toward our work. I have felt stronger and more stable ever since! (Jan’17)"
General Questions About Workspace Wellness
JōbuFIT is a workspace health, movement, and fitness program inspired by Alessa’s, JōbuFIT’s founder, time living in Japan and seeing the country’s health practice, Radio Taiso. Unlike traditional workplace wellness programs that require dedicated exercise time or special clothing, JōbuFIT workouts can be completed in 8 minutes or less, directly from your workspace, without changing your work attire—even in heels! Our program focuses on consistent, daily movement throughout your workday rather than isolated workout sessions, addressing issues like "Sitting is the New Smoking," "Tech Neck," and "Digital Fatigue" through proper posture and functional fitness.
The beauty of JōbuFIT is that it requires just minutes scattered throughout your workday. Our core routines take 8 minutes or less, and can be broken into smaller 1-2 minute movement breaks. This micromovement approach creates cumulative benefits throughout the day, similar to how multiple healthy meals create a healthy diet. Research shows that consistent small movement breaks are more effective for combating sedentary work hazards than a single longer workout followed by hours of sitting.
Absolutely! Considering most adults spend 50-70% of their waking hours at work, your workspace habits profoundly impact your overall health. JōbuFIT's approach addresses the root causes of workplace-related health issues like poor posture, repetitive strain injuries, and stress accumulation. By integrating movement directly into your workday, you're treating the cause rather than just the symptoms, leading to sustainable improvements in energy, productivity, posture, and stress management.
Posture and Physical Health
"Sleeping Butt Syndrome," or gluteal amnesia, occurs when prolonged sitting causes your gluteal muscles to weaken and "forget" how to activate properly. This leads to lower back pain, hip issues, and poor posture. JōbuFIT's targeted micromovement routines include specific glute activation exercises that can be done right at your desk, preventing muscular imbalances and keeping these crucial muscles engaged throughout your workday without requiring special equipment or changing clothes.
"Tech Neck" results from constantly looking down at screens, creating painful tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. JōbuFIT incorporates specific neck and shoulder mobility exercises that counteract the typical forward-head posture of desk work. Our Perfect Posture for Computer Pros course teaches proper monitor positioning and sitting alignment, while our daily movement routines include targeted stretches and strengthening exercises to relieve and prevent upper body tension. Regular micro-breaks with these movements help release accumulated tension before it becomes painful.
Yes! JōbuFIT's approach includes both proper ergonomic setup and active posture correction throughout the day. Our Perfect Posture for Computer Pros course shows you how to optimize your workspace, while our minute-by-minute exercises help strengthen your postural muscles and create body awareness. We teach you to incorporate posture resets and alignment checks into your existing workflow, making good posture habitual rather than something you have to leave your desk to address.
Stress Management and Mental Health
JōbuFIT's approach to stress reduction is multifaceted and science-backed. Physical movement directly lowers cortisol (stress hormone) levels while increasing endorphins. Our Stretch Away Stress Workbook provides 25 days of targeted exercises that release physical tension where stress accumulates in the body. Additionally, our routines incorporate breathing techniques that activate the parasympathetic nervous system—your body's natural calming mechanism. Users report significant reductions in anxiety, improved mental clarity, and better stress resilience after implementing our daily movement practices.
Research conclusively shows that taking strategic movement breaks improves cognitive function, creativity, and focus. JōbuFIT's approach is designed around these findings: our 1-2 minute movement sessions stimulate blood flow to the brain, reset your nervous system, and prevent mental fatigue. Rather than interrupting your workflow, these microbreaks actually optimize it by preventing the productivity decline that comes from working continuously without breaks. Most JōbuFIT users report they accomplish more in less time after implementing our strategies.
Digital Fatigue—that mental and physical exhaustion from prolonged screen time—stems from visual strain, static postures, and cognitive overload. JōbuFIT addresses this with specific eye relaxation exercises, posture variations that release physical tension, and mindful movement breaks that refresh your cognitive capacity. Our Workspace Workstyle Upgrade course includes specific strategies for creating a healthy relationship with technology, including optimized screen breaks that refresh your system without derailing your workflow.
Getting Started and Implementation
JōbuFIT is designed to enhance rather than interrupt your workflow. Start with our 5-Day Workspace Movement Challenge to experience how brief movement sessions can actually increase your focus and output. We teach you to identify natural transition moments in your day (after completing a task, before a meeting, etc.) that are perfect for 1-2 minute movement breaks. Our program also includes productivity-tracking tools to help you discover how strategic movement actually creates more time by increasing your efficiency and mental clarity.
No special equipment or extra space is required! JōbuFIT was specifically designed for standard workspace environments. All exercises can be performed in your regular work clothes at or near your desk using just your body and occasionally common objects like your chair or desk. This accessibility is what makes JōbuFIT sustainable—no changing clothes, no gym commute, no special shoes or equipment needed. Just practical, effective movements you can do anywhere you work.
Absolutely! JōbuFIT is particularly valuable for remote workers who often lack the natural movement opportunities of office environments (walking to meeting rooms, visiting colleagues, etc.). Our Redesign Your Workspace, Transform Your Work Life coaching helps remote workers create ergonomic and movement-friendly home setups, while our daily routines provide the structure and accountability that home-based workers often miss. JōbuFIT helps establish healthy boundaries between work and home life through movement transitions that signal the beginning and end of your workday.
Long-term Benefits and Results
Many users report immediate benefits, including reduced tension, improved energy, and better focus after just one session. Physical improvements in posture and reduction in pain typically become noticeable within 2-3 weeks of consistent practice. Our 8-week Workspace Workstyle Upgrade course is specifically designed around this timeline, with most participants experiencing significant transformation by the program's end. Long-term users report lasting changes in their relationship with their bodies and work, maintaining better energy levels and significantly reduced pain even years later.
JōbuFIT isn't a replacement for all forms of exercise, but rather addresses a specific need that gym sessions don't: counteracting the negative effects of prolonged sitting and static work postures in real-time. Traditional exercise typically happens outside work hours and doesn't address hour-by-hour damage from sedentary behavior. JōbuFIT fills this crucial gap while complementing your existing fitness routine. Many users find that regular workspace movement actually enhances their performance in other physical activities by maintaining better body awareness and alignment throughout the day.
Prevention is a core focus of JōbuFIT. Our program specifically addresses the most common workplace-related physical issues: repetitive strain injuries, lower back pain, neck/shoulder tension, carpal tunnel syndrome, and postural deterioration. By incorporating targeted preventative movements throughout your day, JōbuFIT helps maintain joint mobility, muscle balance, and proper alignment before problems develop. For those already experiencing discomfort, our gentle, progressive approach helps strengthen vulnerable areas while providing immediate relief strategies for acute tension.
