Vince Gabriele

Vince Gabriele has been in the fitness industry for over 20 years, starting in 2001 after hanging up his football cleats at Temple University. From interning at Fitness Quest 10 in San Diego training NFL athletes to opening Gabriele Fitness & Performance in New Jersey in 2007 with his wife Vanessa, he built one of the most respected—and most copied—gyms in the industry. Vince grew GFP to seven figures while structuring it to run without his daily involvement, proving a gym can thrive and give its owner true freedom.


Today, Vince coaches over 100 gyms worldwide, with nearly 20 making seven figures annually. He’s founder of the SPF and SPF-CEO Masterminds, host of a top fitness business podcast, keynote speaker, and author of nine business books. As co-founder of KISS Marketing and creator of the 6 Week New Client Surge Program, Vince’s mission is simple: help gym owners build businesses that make money, change lives, and run without consuming their own.
