Happy 2025! 🎊✨Best way to start the new year is with client success 🙌🏻💪🏻.

Receiving this message on New Year’s Day was such a proud coach moment - not only has this client seen amazing increases in muscle tone, but she’s made fitness a lifestyle & fallen in love with the gym for her mental health. 🏋🏻‍♀️🫶

Prioritizing strength training and proper nutrition with enough protein isn’t a diet - it’s the best way to feel good from the inside out while enjoying the process. Strength training + healthy eating with ample protein for your muscles = the best thing you can do for all aspects of your health & goals in 2025.

What are you hoping to achieve this year? Let me know below! ⤵️

05/15/2023

Mother’s Day is hard when you’ve lost your mom way too soon. But through the pain of missing my mom, I know I need to take this day to honor her. My mom loved emotional Hallmark cards, but since she’s been in heaven for 5 years now a post will have to do.

Mommy, thank you for being selfless. Thank you for working indefatigably to support me, always being there for me, providing unconditional love, allowing me to pursue my dreams, helping me whenever I needed it, reminding me to play and laugh, showing me what an independent woman could do, and doing whatever it took for me to be happy. You were my best friend, my confidant, and always gave the best advice. I loved making you smile and proud.

As a single mother my mom worked nonstop to support me. She supported countless private lessons in Alexander Technique, Pilates, and dance so I could continue my passion around my severe scoliosis. She supported me through 10 years of collegiate education, including 2 graduate programs at Columbia & NYU so I could become a Registered Dietitian and create our shared dream of a private practice that blended nutrition, fitness, Pilates, and dance. She died suddenly just months after my practice took off, but I’m so glad she got to see it start.


One of the most important lessons my mom taught me was to never give up - never stop fighting. My mom was determined to not let metastatic stage 4 lung cancer stop her. She worked through her treatments and hospitalizations. She went out and had fun. She tried to dance.

Seeing my mom die suddenly has caused me to experience the severe effects of trauma on all areas of the body and mind. The years since she died have been HARD and haven’t gotten easier. My own health has never been the same, and finding answers to truly get better has been a labyrinth to say the least.. But I know she’d tell me not to give up, to keep fighting…and of course to keep dancing.

Happy Mother’s Day Mommy. Thank you for all that you did, all that you were, all that you instilled me….and giving me the will to keep going every day to carry on your legacy.

Signing just like you would - with all my love,
Gabbi

Visible abs after pregnancy ARE possible!
🤰💪🏻

If you are struggling with diastasis recti, or the separation of your six-pack muscle (re**us abdominis) after pregnancy, check out this mom of four’s amazing success story! I am so proud of her incredible hard work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Through targeted core strengthening and stability exercises, personalized full body strength training 3 days a week, low impact cardio 3 days a week, plenty of walking, and balanced, high protein meals, this awesome mama reduced her abdominal separation by more than twice what her surgeon expected! 😱🤗At 42, she now has visible abs and continues her exercise regimen - and enjoys it! All her workouts are done at home while working full time and raising 4 kids. She’s felt comfortable wearing a skirt for the first time, and her husband even said her legs look more toned than her son’s!

It’s never too late to start, get stronger and healthier, or develop the muscle tone you want and need. You don’t need a fancy gym, tons of equipment, hours of HIIT, restrictive diets, or no carbs. Motivation, discipline, and consistency, and learning and doing what works for you are your 🔑 to success!

Weight loss MYTHS busted! 👊🏻

If you’re struggling to lose weight, or trying to drop unwanted pounds from the stress of back to school/ post summer vacations, check out my feature in .media (& thoughts on the Mayr Diet) for tips!
MYTHS: 🙅🏻‍♀️
❌ “Detoxes” or “cleanses.” If you have a functioning liver and kidneys, your body does all the detoxing it needs. Short term detoxes & cleanses cut your calories so low & deprive you of protein & other key nutrients needed to maintain muscle and metabolism. They’re NOT SUSTAINABLE and you’ll gain all the weight back (and more) as fat!
❌ You NEED to cut out gluten 🍞, dairy 🥛, and coffee ☕️. You don’t need to cut out any of these foods unless you have a diagnosed intolerance/ allergy or don’t feel good after eating them. Coffee only becomes a problem when you add tons of extra calories from sugar & creams 🧋
❌Eating after 8pm causes weight gain. NOT TRUE! Digestion doesn’t “shut down” at a certain time ⏱. Weight gain results from eating more calories than you burn.
❌You need to eat 6 small meals per day 🍴or a large breakfast and small dinner 🍽. NOT TRUE! Meal size and frequency depend on what works for you.
TRUTHS that work for weight loss:

✅ Consistently BURNING MORE CALORIES THAN YOU EAT ⚖️ (this is the 🔑 for fat loss, but much easier said than done)

✅ Eating mostly natural, unprocessed, nutrient-dense foods (ample fruits & veggies 🫐🥗, healthy fats like nuts and seeds 🥜, lean proteins 🍳🍗🥛, and natural whole grains 🥘)

✅Limiting added sugar & processed foods 🍩🥤

✅ Eating slowly and mindfully 🧠, chewing thoroughly, and drinking enough water 💧

✅ Getting ample protein 💪🏻 (around 1g per lb bodyweight)

✅ Balancing at least 20g protein, fiber (fruit/ veggie + whole grain), and unsaturated fat every time you eat 🥚🍓🌰

✅ Lifting challenging weights at least 2x/week 🏋🏻‍♂️

✅ Becoming empowered with the EDUCATION & SKILLS 🤓 from a qualified professional 👩‍🏫 (aka Registered Dietitian) to maintain your healthy habits for life! 🙌

🌞✈️🏝 Feel like summer travels derail your efforts to stay on track with healthy eating & exercise?
➡️Check out some of my go to healthy travel tips below & on the blog!
🌮Pack healthy snacks rich in protein and fiber! Things like:
✳️Protein bars (Promix, Quest, Aloha, Built, and Rise bars are good high protein & low sugar options)
🥛Protein powder for shakes
🍞Whole grains (instant oatmeal packets, whole grain crackers, whole grain cereals, etc)
🥜Nuts (100 calorie packs are great)
🍎 Non perishable fruits (oranges, apples, pears, firm bananas, raisins)
✈️🫐 Pick up perishables, proteins, and liquids at the airport once you get past security:
🍓Fruits
🥕Veggies
🥚Hard boiled eggs
🧀String cheeses
🥪Sandwiches with lean protein on whole grain bread
🥛Greek yogurts/ protein shakes
🥙Salads with protein
💦Plenty of waterbottles!
🥸Practice portion control: bring measuring cups or know how to eyeball portion sizes
🍽Make healthy choices when eating out:
✅Check the menu ahead of time
✅Always get lean protein 🍗 and veggies 🥗🥦
✅Limit alcohol 🍹 (especially sugary cocktails) and fried foods 🍟
✅Choose your favorite indulgences 🍦🍪
🧊Bring an insulated lunchbox, make sure your hotel room has a fridge, & buy any groceries you need when you arrive 🎒
🏃‍♀️Stay active! Take walks or hikes to go exploring, swim at the beach 🏊🏻‍♂️, bring resistance bands, keep up with bodyweight workouts 🤸 , and weight train 🏋🏻‍♂️ if you have gym access
