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.'
Gabe Saclain
CEO & Founder
Gabe Saclain founded Angel Gyms from a deeply personal journey and a passion for creating a supportive space that focuses on both physical and mental well-being.
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.
Determined to build a space where clients could focus on self-development without judgment, Gabe launched Angel Gyms during the height of the pandemic. His vision was to create a gym where everyone, from beginners to experienced athletes, could work towards their goals in a welcoming, non-judgmental environment.
Today, Gabe leads Angel Gyms with a focus on holistic wellness, ensuring each member feels supported, both physically and mentally.

Fede Veneroni
CBDO & Co-Founder
Fede Veneroni joined forces with Gabe to bring to life the vision of a fitness space that goes beyond the conventional corporate gym environment. With nine years of experience as a personal trainer and a passion for bodybuilding, having won competitions himself, Fede has an in-depth understanding of the fitness industry.
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.
Together, they created Angel Gyms, a space where clients can feel safe, supported, and free to grow at their own pace, with a focus on mental health, personal development, and fitness. Fede's expertise in training has been instrumental in shaping Angel Gyms into the unique, inclusive space it is today.
Daniel Solbe
COO
Daniel Solbe combines his background in the arts and qualifications as a personal trainer to ensure the gym runs smoothly while staying true to its ethos. Daniel quickly aligned with the vision of creating a welcoming, anxiety-free environment.
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.
