Gabriela “Gaby” Lopardo
Gaby Lopardo was born on the outskirts of Buenos Aires in the town of Lanus, Argentina. At the early age of 6 years old, Gaby discovered her love for track and field and spent most of her early days training and then competing in track meets across the country.
In 2001 Gaby moved to the US though just prior to her move she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. With the wheels already in motion and her desire to expand her horizons to pursue a career as a Triathlete, Gaby forged onward. Upon arrival to the US she quickly gained recognition and competed at the highest level of the sport, which ultimately led to her becoming a sponsored pro athlete. In 2007 things came to a screeching halt, and Gaby was hospitalized for worsening of her Ulcerative Colitis. Despite the hospitalization, 2008 welcomed motherhood for Gaby with the birth of her beautiful, healthy daughter.
Becoming a Mom coupled with the debilitating effects her worsening Ulcerative Colitis and along with the grueling training regime it takes to be a world class competing athlete, forced her to suspend her professional career as a Triathlete.
Gaby has not let any of these realities impede her desire to continue her fitness journey. She became a Certified Personal Trainer focused on training other Pro Athletes as well as A-List actors like Danny Trejo.
Gabriela has successfully faced a multitude of life altering challenges throughout her IBD journey. And yet, she has never given up hope! She is a proud mother and spends her time as a Personal Fitness Trainer, Mentor and Health Enthusiast focused on helping others who suffer from IBD.
