We have been working together for the past three months, and within the second month, I started seeing results. Each week, Gabriela gives me a new progressive set of exercises and makes sure I am adhering to the required nutrition for my goals. I am more confident in my body since working with Gabriela. I have even referred my coworkers because I trust her ability to help them reach their fitness goals as well. Gabriela is always available to answer any questions that I may have, and she encourages me to keep progressing forward.

She creates an environment where you feel safe, heard, and supported.

When Gaby first launched Solara Strength, I decided to work with her because she is certified in both personal training and nutrition. At the time, I was coming back from an eight-month medical leave. During that period I had developed carpal tunnel syndrome, stopped going to the gym, gained some weight, and felt noticeably weaker. I also had a limited budget, so Gaby worked with me to create a plan that was both affordable and effective through virtual training sessions three mornings a week. From the beginning, she took the time to understand my medical history, physical limitations, and goals. My biggest objective wasn't just to lose weight but to rebuild my strength and create the habit of waking up early to exercise consistently. Gaby designed a program that was completely tailored to me, taking my carpal tunnel into account while helping me safely ease back into fitness. She also created an incredibly detailed workout tracker in Excel that included warm-up routines, instructional videos, progress tracking, and a clear plan for each workout. I wanted her to coach me virtually at my home gym and we had no issues. Beyond training, she guided me on nutrition and supplements, and shared practical meal-prep strategies that made it much easier to stay consistent. After just four weeks of training together, I extended our sessions because I was already seeing and feeling real results. I became stronger, had more energy, and people around me even started noticing the physical changes. One of the things that surprised me most was that I actually enjoyed the strength workouts. Instead of dreading them, I felt energized during every session because Gaby was there to coach me, correct my form, and explain exactly what each movement was targeting. Her knowledge of the body and strength training is evident in the way she teaches. The impact went beyond physical strength. Before working with Gaby, waking up before 6:00 a.m. felt impossible. Now I naturally wake up early and genuinely look forward to my workouts. She has great tips and tricks! That change alone has had a huge positive impact on my daily routine. What I appreciate most about Gaby's coaching style is how personalized it is. She doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all fitness plans. She listens, adapts, encourages, and pushes you just enough to help you grow without making the process feel overwhelming. Throughout our time working together, she has always been professional, approachable, consistent, and genuinely invested in my success. I've already recommended Gaby to several friends, and I will continue to do so. She creates an environment where you feel safe, heard, and supported while still challenging you to become stronger than you thought possible. If you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, and women's health and who truly cares about helping you achieve sustainable results. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriela Moreno and Solara Strength.

Coach Gaby wasn’t just telling people what to do. She was leading by example.

I cannot recommend Gaby enough. Before I started training with her, my goal was to become healthier, lose weight and build consistency with my fitness. One of my biggest challenges was my asthma. Working out would often leave me short of breath and I worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up. I also struggled with knowing how to eat in a way that supported my goals. What made me choose Gaby was watching her long before I became her client. I always saw her consistently showing up at the gym, living a healthy lifestyle and practicing the habits she encouraged others to adopt. Watching her own transformation and the discipline she had gave me confidence that she truly understood the journey. She wasn’t just telling people what to do. She was leading by example, and that made me trust her with my own fitness journey. From day one, Gaby met me where I was. She understood my asthma, adjusted workouts when needed and helped me gradually build my endurance without making me feel limited. Every session challenged me in the best way. There were plenty of times I felt like giving up or thought I couldn’t finish, but Gaby never let me quit on myself. She encouraged me through every workout and constantly reminded me that I was capable of more than I believed. One thing I loved most was that Gaby didn’t just coach from the sidelines. She would demonstrate exercises and complete the workouts alongside me. That made every session feel like we were working toward my goals together. Whenever I mastered an exercise or reached a milestone, she patiently introduced the next challenge. If I struggled or even fell, she was right there to help me up, encourage me and remind me that progress isn’t always perfect. Gaby also went far beyond the gym. She created a personalized meal plan that was realistic and sustainable. She even went to Aldi with me to teach me how to grocery shop, read nutrition labels and choose foods that aligned with my goals and my budget. That experience gave me the confidence to make healthier choices on my own instead of relying on someone else to tell me what to buy. She also created a progress tracker where we recorded my weight and body measurements, including my waist, hips and bust. Seeing those numbers change over time was incredibly motivating because it showed me that my body was changing in ways the scale couldn’t always reflect. Since working with Gaby, I’ve lost weight and my body composition has completely changed. I feel stronger, have more energy and have built healthier habits that I know will last. Most importantly, I’ve gained confidence in myself and learned that my asthma doesn’t define what I’m capable of achieving. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your success, Gaby is the one. She educates you, holds you accountable, celebrates every victory and supports you through every setback. She doesn’t just help you exercise. She teaches you how to build a healthier lifestyle that you can maintain long after your sessions are over. I wholeheartedly recommend Gaby to anyone looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive and truly invested in helping their clients succeed.

If you are looking for a trainer, I cannot recommend Gabriela enough!

Gabriela was recommended to me by a friend/colleague I worked with and I couldn't be happier that our paths had crossed. Before I started training with Gabriela, I felt completely stuck in my fitness routine and lacked the motivation to stay consistent on my own each week. I would do the same routine when going to the gym and had difficulty knowing how to progress my routines to meet my goals. My goals were to lose a bit of weight, tone my body, gain strength and just have an overall healthier lifestyle that made workout routines more frequent within my busy week. My weeks are busy and constantly change so it can be difficult for me to keep a consistent routine. Gabriela works with you to figure out how you can realistically fit fitness into a busy schedule to meet your goals. She gave me great routines I could do at home and at the gym. She meets you where you are at in your fitness journey and truly cares and puts the time in to make sure you succeed with your fitness goals. She guides you with your nutrition in order to supplement your fitness goals. From day one, she listened closely to my goals and tailored every session to what my body could handle, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She held me accountable with weekly check-in's and pushed me hard enough to see real progress, but was always careful to check my form and keep things safe if I experienced any discomfort. After 4 months, I’d lost weight, gained strength, and developed a healthier routine with more awareness of my nutrition that I could carry on after our time together. I looked forward to the workouts Gabriela gave me and continue to do them.

I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, encouraging, and fun trainer.

I had a wonderful experience training with Gaby. When I first started my fitness journey, I didn’t have a lot of experience with lifting weights and I felt unsure of myself in the gym. Gaby was patient and supportive; she never made me feel bad for being a beginner. She modified exercises to my skill level so that each workout was accessible, but still challenging. She explains each movement clearly, and suggests multiple cues to help me engage the right muscles. Within a few weeks of training with Gaby, I had noticeable improvements in my strength and body composition, which were my goals going in. Beyond that, I also gained discipline and confidence, which has helped me in my life outside of the gym. I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with lifting weights and being active, but I am, thanks to Gaby.
