About Peter Parabia

About Peter

I grew up in a rural farming village in the Philippines and was made familiar with the physical demands of manual labor and mountain treks from a very young age. The normal route to school and market was an hours-long journey on foot that made me appreciate the value of hard work and being physically capable.

Shirley & Peter

After moving to the city for my secondary education, I was introduced to the world of martial arts. In college, I obtained a scholarship for my degree in Police Science & Technology as a competitive athlete in Karate, Jujitsu, Judo and Taekwondo. I won bronze, silver and gold medals through my entire career as an amateur martial arts competitor. Before graduation, I earned my Black Belt.

As a fresh graduate, I obtained a contractual job in the appliance retail industry whilst contemplating between starting a career with the Philippine Marines or to continue my Police higher education. After work, I would visit a nearby gym and would eventually be encouraged by friends and trainers to try my hand in natural bodybuilding.

After winning several bodybuilding competitions, I was offered a full-time job as a fitness instructor at Winner’s Gym in Iloilo City, where I honed my skills and knowledge in group exercise and personal training.

In 2007, my wife Shirley and I moved abroad to the Sultanate of Oman, where I continued my journey in wellness and sports. I have a career in the Education and Sports sector. My family and I are currently based in the city of Muscat.
