STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH

WEIGHTLIFTING & SPORTS PERFORMANCE

GABRIEL HOUSSOU, CPT, CSC, USAW L2

Hi there! I’m Gabe, a 27-year-old Texas-born French American strength and conditioning coach based in the United States (Miami, FL).

I grew up in France and came to the US after graduating high school. I graduated from FIU with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science back in 2021, but I have been coaching for over 5 years.

Having dealt with severe knee and back pain growing up as a team sports athlete, I want people to live a healthy life, building a strong mind and body to grow confidence and physical capacity so that they can do what they set their mind to without worrying about injury.

Kaizen (noun) /ˈkīz(ə)n,ˈkīˌzen/

a Japanese business philosophy of continuous improvement of working practices, personal efficiency, etc.

Everyday is an opportunity to improve even if it is only by 1%.
It’s not about being invincible, it’s about being unstoppable.

Testimonials

"I have been working with Gabe since the beginning of 2020 (when COVID struck), and words can hardly describe how much he has helped me so far! I have been able to consistently make progress; Gabe always gives great advice on technique and pays great attention to the videos that I am sending him. Gabe handles programming very well, also taking into account lifestyle constraints, and focusing on performance. Last but not least, he answers quickly and gives very clear and kind explanations, with videos when needed. It is honestly a pleasure to work out with Gabe as a coach, even 100% online!"

Vlad, Student
“Awesome - this guy is a fantastic trainer. Worked with Gabe for over a year, honestly never felt stronger. PR with squat, deadlift, pull-ups and all after 40-ish... Legend!!”

Michael, Vice-President of Membership Sales at Midtown Athletic Club
As a basketball player, I always had horrible knee and hip pain. After games, I couldn’t even bend my knees due to that pain. Everything was tight and painful; I played through that pain for years. Gabriel gave me exercises, prescribing gradual frequency and load within a timeline. Within 6 months, my knee pain was completely gone, my hips felt great, I built strength, I gained mobility and flexibility. Above all, he taught me how to take care of my body as a student athlete and I feel great!"

Raphael, D2 Basketball Student Athlete
After losing motivation, I turned to Gabriel for guidance. With his thorough and caring approach, he adjusted programming for my sensitive back and adherence struggles. His tough love and genuine care kept me motivated throughout. Thanks to Gabe, I reduced my back pain from a 7 to a 1and made gains in skills and body composition, regaining my confidence. I highly recommend Gabriel to anyone, seasoned or beginner.

Ellie, Pole Instructor
"If I had to describe my fitness journey with Gabriel I would just say: Amazing! I’m 34, I’m a CrossFit Athlete and thought I didn’t need personal training until I was proven wrong by Gab… I was struggling with upper body strength and decided to give a shot to personal training for a 3 months personalized program - After a month I started to see some improvements and was looking forward to the end of my program - At the end of the program I was very satisfied and renewed for an extra three months. Fast forward to today, after more that 8 months with Gab, I’m in the best shape of my life… I got stronger, fitter and able to perform gymnastic movements I wasn’t able to before! I have also learned about nutrition and best practices. Lastly, Gab is always checking on me to make sure I’m not forgetting to workout (trust me, he holds you accountable…), do the movements correctly and if I need to change or adjust my workout program. Strongly recommend you give him a shot!"

Julien, CrossFit Athlete
"Training with Gabe has been awesome! His knowledge, experience in Calisthenics and guidance helped me break through my plateaus. Gabe is an excellent coach, I couldn't have asked for a better mentor on this incredible path to strength and balance. Thank you!"

Nico
"I've started 1:1 training with Gabriel about 5 months ago, focusing on Powerlifting and Weightlifting. It has helped improve my mobility and barbell strength without injuries. Gabriel gives quality video analysis to ensure good lifting technique and progress, which has helped me improve technique making my lifts feel more stable and natural. He has always maintained a constant communication with me and that allowed me to gain confidence to overcome my fears, and take my body to levels that I didn't think were possible."

Priscila
"Having an individualized program with Gabe has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for my physical and mental health. With him, I'm able to work on mid and long term goals, and no matter what, there is always progress despite the great and the bad days - he always provides insights that help me understand the path I'm working on. In a few words, if I could choose once again to have him as a coach, I would do so without hesitation. The best part of the training comes on the 1-1 sessions where everything that you've been working on comes together and usually results in the accomplishment of one of the goals that we spoke about at the beginning of the training."
