Our client feedback is a testament to the quality personal training we provide at First Steps Fitness:
Basma Z.:
I was never an athletic person and I didn’t go to the gym in 5 years even though it was just few floors down. So when I started with Gaby I was worried that I won’t be able to keep up with the workouts and hence lose the motivation and stop going to the gym (like what happened when I was trying to lose weight before.. many times).
Gaby trained both me and my mom at the same time. She found what works for both of us. She motivated us and pushed us to try new things we would never have thought we would do before. She knew what we liked and what we didn’t and tried to be mindful of that as well which made the workouts more fun and enjoyable.
Before meeting Gaby, I would lose weight just by eating clean (I wouldn’t workout) and I was never happy with my body because I felt weak and not in shape (even though I would lose 30lbs in couple of months). After working out with Gaby in a regular basis for 3 months and eating healthy I lost 20 pounds and so many inches. I also feel so strong now and happier and confident in my body than ever.
Thank you very much Gaby.. Go team morocco 😀

I never enjoyed working out because I was tired and unmotivated by the end of the day to go to the gym or even to do a workout video in my own home.
When my wedding was fast approaching I was introduced to Gaby as someone who could get my butt into gear. Gaby is a dynamic, motivating and active trainer. She was mindful of the exercises I liked and didn’t like as well as any injuries I had. Gabby created sessions that ended up being more enjoyable than I imagined and I began to enjoy working out again.
Gaby’s programs were hard and sometimes challenging, yet fun at the same time. She would push me outside my limits and I gained significant strength and definition in my arms, legs and abs which were my goals.
If you are looking for a trainer who is motivated, energetic, creates a variety of different sessions so you won’t get bored and pushes you to meet your body or weight goals then Gaby is your trainer!
Miranda C.:
Having just returned to work 40lbs heavier from my second maternity leave, I was at a loss with how to get myself back in shape.
I needed motivation – but not the kind of “motivation” I would get from a loud, overbearing, drill-sergeant trainer who would tell me I am too slow, too fat, and could only eat one leaf of lettuce per day for the rest of my life.
And then I found Gaby and First Steps Fitness. With Gaby training me, I felt motivated and supported instead of pushed and intimidated. She was quick to smile and offer support.
Within a short amount of time, Gaby has led me to make leaps and bounds towards my goals of both health and confidence. She makes you sweat, she makes you work, she makes you laugh….and since laughter is contagious, so are her workouts. You are always looking forward to the next one.
Most personal trainers are great at telling you to do things. They tell you to lift, to squat, to push, to pull, to run, to jump….all while checking their Facebook status’ on their iPhone’s.
With Gaby, she is right there next to you, sweating, working, running and pushing alongside you. Fitness is her life’s work, and when working with Gaby you can’t help but pick up on her enthusiasm, drive and commitment to health.
Gaby has given me the tools and drive that I needed to unlock my motivation and drive. She has inspired me to adopt a healthier way of living that is both enjoyable and sustainable. In the relatively short time that I have been working with Gaby, I have noticed changes in my physical appearance and consequently my self-esteem and confidence. Even though I am smiling and laughing through the workouts they are still workouts, and the results that I have achieved have been amazing.
If you are at all hesitant or fearful about engaging with a personal trainer, give Gaby a call. Her version of “tough love training” will leave you wanting more!”
Vanessa W.:
For years I have been struggling with my weight, I would join gyms and I would go but I lacked the knowledge on how to achieve my goals, which were to lose weight (the obvious); be healthy and feel good. As a result I would stop going to the gym. I knew I needed to do something so I talked to Gaby and she was willing to help me out.
Well it has been a year now that I have been training with Gaby and I have lost weight, am healthier and absolutely feel GREAT. I am as motivated as the day I started.
Gaby keeps changing the routine to fit with my weight loss goals and it keeps the workouts interesting. I feel comfortable and at ease while training with Gaby, she has a passion for what she does and it transcends any insecurity I had about working out. I am grateful to Gaby for making my goals achievable and look forward to her continued motivation and support. Thank you.
Diana H.:
Gaby is an excellent trainer; enthusiastic, knowledgeable, patient, supportive and approachable. She is encouraging, pushing you to move from one level of fitness to another and learn something new at each and every workout. Gaby’s approach to exercise is fun and in no way intimidating. Gaby has the ability to drive you to try harder than you thought possible and enjoy every minute of it. Its been a pleasure to work with her and to see success at each and every workout. As a runner I’m always looking for ways to improve and achieve a new PB. Thanks to Gaby’s training I feel my overall fitness level, strength and health has greatly improved and I feel confident that this goal is now attainable at this year’s 1/2 marathon.
Thanks Gaby!
Leila C.:
Six months before my wedding I decided it was time to get into shape. I wanted to look the very best in my dress, so I began training with Gaby. Being someone who never worked out, I was skeptical when we started training – I didn’t think I could commit to a fitness plan. She was able to motivate me and made me push myself. The wedding has come and gone and I continue to train. The workouts are tough but I feel great after they’re done. She has kept me motivated and has ensured that I continue on my fitness journey .
