About

Hello, I’m Cynthia Fillmore.

I am a martial arts and wellness instructor with a black belt level expertise, focusing on health, longevity, and personal growth. With 29 years of experience in martial arts and wellness, including Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Kung Fu (brown sash), and TKD (black belt), I bring a wealth of knowledge to help you achieve your goals. Furthermore, I hold certifications as an Ace Certified Personal Trainer and PN Level 2 Master Health Coach, all of which have been honed through a lifetime of dedication to fitness, sports, nutrition, and martial arts.

My journey towards this profession began early, as I was fortunate to attend a school district that mandated daily participation in physical education from Kindergarten to 8th grade. This included mandatory involvement in every sport in season, coupled with a daily exercise regimen. This upbringing instilled lifelong fitness habits in me, thanks to the incredible mentors and coaches who guided me throughout. Their unwavering dedication sowed the seeds of wellness in an entire generation, and I am eternally grateful for their influence. Their impact is one of the many reasons why I am so passionate about being a positive role model in the lives of young children today.

At Wellness Masters, we offer customizable programs, plans, and courses designed to cater to individuals of all ages and abilities. We are thrilled to announce the launch of a groundbreaking online interactive classroom for children’s Martial Arts and Wellness. Stay tuned for more information!

Throughout my life, I have encountered and triumphed over numerous challenges, both within myself and among those closest to me. It was with this vision in mind that I founded Wellness Masters—a platform to document, showcase, celebrate, and share my personal wellness journey, as well as those of the remarkable, talented, and compassionate individuals I’ve met along the way. Many of them have achieved their own mastery of wellness. It is my hope that this platform serves as a source of inspiration, support, guidance, and, ultimately, a pathway for others to discover their own route to wellness.
