I'm here to make sure every member feels supported and guided at every step of their health and wellness journey. 

Fitness has been part of my life for a long time! I'm a former competitive swimmer but what I care about most goes beyond the workout. I'm passionate about mindset, emotional intelligence, resilience, and about helping people learn to truly connect with themselves and each other.

Outside the gym, I'm powered by good coffee, good books, good conversation, and new adventures. When I'm not working out, you'll find me working, "momming," singing at the top of my lungs, and laughing as hard as humanly possible.

Let's go. 🙌

I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Strength Coach, and Sports Nutritionist with 3 years of experience coaching personal training, boot camps, and group fitness. I specialize in functional strength and endurance training for all ages and fitness levels.  My approach is built around progressive overload—challenge yourself, get stronger, and keep raising the bar.  I help clients build real strength and sustainable habits that carry over far beyond the gym.
 

My Motto : The stronger you are in the gym, the better you are in life.

Fun Facts : Outside the gym, I’m a husband, new girl dad, and proud dog dad to Bruce🐶.  I’m a 90s soul, love spooky season and Christmas.

I am Thrive’s Head Coach and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), with a Kinesiology degree from Temple and more than 8 years of experience coaching everyone from first-time lifters to national-level powerlifters. I specialize in strength training and technique for all ages and experience levels. My approach is built around listening first and teaching the why behind the work, so you understand your training and get the most out of every session, even on the days you didn’t think you had one. Before Thrive, I spent eight years at Warhorse Barbell Club, where I went from intern to head coach and worked with over a thousand clients.
 

My Motto : There’s no such thing as a wasted day, only the wrong plan for it.
 

Fun Facts : Born in Phoenix, raised in Downingtown, now firmly a Philly guy. I live with my girlfriend Jane and Theo, a sassy 20-pound tuxedo cat who has declined all coaching 🐈‍⬛. Off the clock, I love chess, breweries, travel, and anything Christopher Nolan.

Hi, I’m Gabby!

By day I’m a full-time speech therapist, and outside of work I’m all about living a strong, balanced life—running, lifting, cooking nourishing meals, and finding joy in the process.

I bring the same patience, clear communication, and genuine care I use with my clients in therapy into the gym. My goal is to help you build sustainable habits that fit your real life—not perfection, just consistency that feels good and lasts. Whether you want to get stronger, move better, feel more energized, or simply create a healthier routine you actually enjoy, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Let’s train smart, celebrate progress, and thrive together.

The iron bug hit me in the basement of my father’s gym when I was only a child.
Going from the bench to the squat to the platform, life is always evolving, but the bar on
the ground will always make you honest. I believe education is the most important part
of improving one’s strength, both physically and mentally. I’ve been certified since 2019,
but my love for weight training came from my father. I’m a gamer, husband, father, and
powerlifter. I won’t always be the strongest in the room, but I’ll be the most open-minded
to try and achieve your goals of being stronger, healthier, and fitter. I’m enthusiastic to
keep improving myself and those around me because it’s your responsibility to make
those around you stronger.
