Hi — I’m Gio.
If you’re here, chances are you’ve seen me cooking, moving, or talking about living well — and something resonated.

I’m 46, almost 47, and I believe deeply that women don’t have to choose between feeling good in their bodies and enjoying their lives. I eat beautiful food. I love pasta. I set the table. I walk every day. I move my body with intention. And I stay disciplined — not rigid, not deprived — just consistent in a way that supports real life.

I grew up in kitchens shaped by tradition and love, and I built my movement practice around the belief that strength should support your life, not consume it. I don’t believe in extremes. I don’t believe in punishment. And I don’t believe that pleasure needs to be earned.

What I do believe is that women can have both:
A life filled with enjoyment, beauty, and connection — and a body that feels strong, healthy, and confident in clothes.

Over the years, this philosophy has grown into the work I do today.

I work with women who want structure without burnout.
Support without shame.
And a way of living that actually lasts.

You can work with me in a few different ways — whether that’s training together, building a personalized wellness plan, learning how to cook and eat with confidence, or creating meaningful experiences around food, movement, and connection.

From personal training and coaching, to private cooking classes, retreats, corporate wellness experiences, and speaking — everything I offer is rooted in the same idea: discipline with pleasure.

I’m also the author of The Chef of Greenwich Village, and the creator of programs like GIO Glow and The Pasta Skinny Kickstart, designed to help women feel strong, nourished, and at home in their bodies — without giving up the joy of living.

If you’re looking for inspiration, guidance, accountability, or simply a more elegant way to care for yourself — you’re in the right place.

I’m glad you’re here.
