Gabriel argues on the correlation between the two with the research and by integrating mental well being into all of his classes. By educating his members, checking-in routinely, as well as incorporating mindfulness practices into lifting sessions our members not only feel the difference but want more and advocate for the benefits. All of this says nothing of what lifting and exercise does for our mental health: lifting stirs emotions and quells insecurities, while processing when puts everything to rest, all the while benefiting our brain chemistry to better handle any mental illness that may come up. Many coaches and counselors might agree one is good for the other but few know the hows and whys, and regardless, none are integrating the two.
Gabriel has built a gym unlike anything else that’s ever been created. Our space is one where individuals grow together to a point past “good enough” and to a place where they are renewed then reimagined greater than they ever thought possible.
