After announcing his senatorial candidacy, Willie Revillame is seeking the help of Hazel Calawod, who served as the personal trainer of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, to prepare for an unspecified “commitment.”

On his Facebook page on Sunday, October 13, Revillame shared a photo of himself in what appeared to be a workout session on the stationary bike, as he was being assisted by Calawod.

“Umpisa na para ma-kundisyon ang health ng mind and body ko for a commitment (It’s time to condition my mind and body for a commitment). With Coach Hazel Calawod the personal trainer of Gold Olympic Medalist Carlos Yulo,” he wrote.

The Australia-based Calawod introduced herself as a Harvard-certified human factors specialist, MIT-certified data scientist, and sports therapist on her Facebook page. She was among the core members of Yulo’s team throughout the entirety of the 2024 Paris Olympics whose contribution the athlete considered essential.

She is also known to be friends with some celebrities.

Revillame earlier made headlines after formalizing his senatorial bid on the last day of filing his certificate of candidacy (COC) last October 8. He is currently the chief host of the game show “Wil To Win.”
