    The body of a New Jersey fitness coach who disappeared while swimming in Vermont has been found, authorities said.

    Tuan Baldino, 35, was recovered on Wednesday afternoon in the Mad River at Warren Falls in Warren , according to the Vermont State Police.

    Baldino, of Paramus, was first reported missing on Saturday in the Cascades section of Warren Falls, which is a popular natural waterpark.

    The falls and surrounding river remained closed after the high and fast-moving water made recovery efforts difficult, the state police noted.

    “The Vermont State Police cautions the public to expect continued hazardous conditions even after the area re-opens to the public, and to avoid swimming or jumping into the river,” the statement read .

    Tuan Baldino lived in Paramus, New Jersey. It is not clear why he was in Vermont.

    Baldino ran a personal training service called Fitness Gainz Academy and also trained clients at other local gyms, according to his social media.

    He graduated from Bergen Community College with an associate’s degree in exercise science, and as well as a Bachelor’s in psychology from Kean University.

    In April 2018, Baldino updated his Facebook friends with some much-needed encouragement.
