Today we’d like to introduce you to Gabby Forlano.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Gabby. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I can remember as a child always having sports anxiety and being nervous to try out for teams just by overthinking. When I finally began playing with teams, my confidence came out and I felt like I had a place where I could be myself. Throughout grade school I played sports my teams became my family, the sports fields became my home. When I moved on to college I no longer had a team that I could attach myself to. With a completely new environment and new stresses, I was diagnosed with major depression and high anxiety disorders. At this time I was studying Kinesiology and my professors became huge support. I set up a plan and promised myself I would put myself first. I ate healthily, I exercised every day and I became myself again. I learned how important mental and physical health were early on and prioritize that throughout my daily habits.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not always been a smooth road, everyone has there personal trials they are going through and I have realized that through my clients, friends, and family. The best thing to do is to control your actions and emotions through hard times. I do believe struggles shape you as a person but you have to choose to learn and grow.

As a personal trainer, I specialize in functional strength and corrective exercise. What sets me apart from most personal trainers is that I focus on both the mind and body. Exercising consistently has amazing connections to a successful and happy life. I highly encourage my clients to identify and set short term and long term goals to feel the best they have ever felt.
