Meet the Team
Get to know the story behind Angel Gyms, forged to conquer the challenge of gym anxiety.
Our Story
We are a passionate family of entrepreneurs and personal trainers with a united vision: to end gym anxiety.
We came together because we all experienced corporate gyms to be loud, intimidating and stressful places to be with no support around mental health. So we decided to do something about it!
Unlike corporate gyms, we have created two calming, inclusive SafeSpaces in London, only hiring empathic, caring personal trainers and mental health therapists.
Words from our CEO & Founder, Gabe Saclain
Award-winning entrepreneur Gabe Saclain talks about why Angel Gyms is on a mission to disrupt the personal training industry, by building two appointment-only ‘SafeSpaces.’
Fede Veneroni
However, Fede also recognised a gap in how gyms approached holistic wellbeing. Like Gabe, he saw that the focus was too often on physical aesthetics rather than a balanced approach that considers both mental and physical health.
Daniel Solbe
His commitment to fostering a space where clients and trainers feel supported both physically and mentally has been instrumental in driving the gym’s success. Daniel's focus remains on providing a gym experience that’s far removed from the impersonal, corporate atmosphere, ensuring that Angel Gyms continues to be a sanctuary for personal growth and well-being.
Gabe Saclain
As a personal training client, Gabe often felt intimidated by the commercial gym environment, where the emphasis on aesthetics overshadowed personal growth. Recognising the significant lack of mental health support in the fitness industry, he was driven to address this gap.
