Gabby has been training with SoCal for 1.5 years.
Outside the gym Gabby is a PhD student at UCI focusing on research in accessible & usable security and privacy. She is busy with research and being a TA for undergraduates. She also loves to try new restaurants in the area!
Inside the gym she has grown tremendously in not only her technique, but also with her confidence and strength. Gabby competed at her first weightlifting meet in December of 2025. She’s clear about her goals and is super excited about her strength journey.
What we love about her is how much of an impact Gabby has with our community and new athletes in the gym. She is the first person to show someone the ropes and always generous with her time.
Gabby says, “SoCal is such a supportive, welcoming community and a perfect place to start. Everyone genuinely encourages each other to reach their goals. It makes training something I look forward to do rather than something that I have to do.”
This is who trains at SoCal. If you want to join us we train in Orange and Laguna Niguel, no experience necessary! Simply fill out our contact us form and we’ll text you back quick!
