ABOUT GABI:
Gabi Varga is a trauma-informed personal trainer with over two decades of experience. She began her fitness journey as a group fitness instructor in her home country, Hungary. After relocating to Montreal and later to Vancouver, she transitioned into personal training.
Gabi’s own experience with trauma—being in unsafe environments and around emotionally abusive people—led her to numb with overtraining and external validation.
Her healing journey showed her that true strength comes from feeling safe in your own body. That’s what inspired her to shift from conventional fitness to a trauma-informed approach.
Today, she helps others move in gentle, safe, and regulated ways—honoring each body’s boundaries, preferences, and pace. Gabi deeply believes that when we work with people, we work with trauma, and that movement can be a powerful tool for healing and reconnection.
