Who is Gabi Padilla?
Gabi Padilla isn’t your average trainer—she’s passionate about fitness and has a story that will leave you inspired. She started her career in 2016 at Equinox in New York City and has been helping people move better, get stronger, and feel healthier ever since. With experience in sports performance, functional movement, and spinal health, Gabi knows how to create a fitness plan that works for you, no matter where you’re starting from.
Gabi has a real talent for connecting with people. She’s not just about lifting weights or running laps (though she’s a pro at coaching both!). When she’s not in the gym, you’ll probably find her jogging with her dogs, sketching clothing designs, or painting something vibrant. Her creative side brings a balanced, down-to-earth vibe to her training style—she’s approachable, supportive, and truly cares about helping you succeed.
Gabi’s got a tough side too. She trains martial arts athletes and even coaches fighters on the 2024 USA Muay Thai team. She knows exactly how to challenge you while keeping things safe and enjoyable. Whether you’re just starting out or already an experienced athlete, Gabi brings the kind of energy that makes fitness exciting and fun.
Why Gabi Stands Out as a Top Female Personal Trainer
What makes Gabi Padilla one of the best female personal trainers in Austin? It’s not just her skills—it’s how she uses them to truly make a difference in people’s lives.
Personalized Training That Fits You
Gabi knows there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to fitness. She takes the time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and even the challenges you face. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or train for your first 5K, she creates a personalized plan just for you. Her approach? It’s all about focusing on small, daily habits that lead to big, lasting results. No quick fixes—just a healthier, stronger you for the long run.
Boosting Athletic Performance
If you’re into sports, Gabi’s the one to go to. She’s amazing at helping athletes improve their game, especially in martial arts. Whether it’s stronger punches, better endurance, or sharper conditioning, she’s got you covered. And even if you’re not a fighter, her training can help you get faster, stronger, and more confident in whatever activity you enjoy.
Moving Better, Living Better
Gabi is all about helping you move the way your body was designed to. She focuses on functional fitness—exercises that make everyday things like carrying groceries or climbing stairs feel easier. She’s also great with spinal health, helping you improve your posture, reduce pain, and boost your energy so you can take on the day feeling your best.
Your Personal Cheerleader
Clients often describe Gabi as their “cheerleader,” and it’s easy to see why. Her energy is infectious, and she makes you feel like you can take on anything. Training with her feels less like a workout and more like spending time with a supportive friend who’s always in your corner. Her positive attitude and expertise create an environment that keeps you motivated and coming back for more.
