Bio

Luci Gabel
MA, MBA, ACSM, ACE

Hi, I’m Luci!
I’m a personal trainer, motivational speaker on fitness, and fitness business consultant. Now on to the details!

I have a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from UMD College Park, an MBA from Johns Hopkins University, and a BA in Physical and Psychological health from the State University of NY at Binghamton. I studied dietetics at the University of Hawaii and the University of Maryland College Park. I’m certified by the American College of Sports Medicine as a Health and Fitness Instructor and by the American Council on Exercise as a Personal Trainer and a Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant.

My education in physiology, study of strength training, and experience in Pilates and Yoga help me to create very unique exercise programs for my clients. As a personal trainer I work with all ages, fitness levels, and body types. I also teach exercise classes for corporate offices. I like to make exercise fun and get people to feel the energy and vitality that it brings!

I’ve been a consultant and manager for several, prominent, five-star health clubs and spas. Most recently, I was the General Manager of SomaFit fitness/Spa in Georgetown, Washington DC. I was also the director of the Point, a 5-star club in Seoul, South Korea, and directed the personal training department at the Honolulu Club in Hawaii.

Throughout my career I’ve enjoyed being a guest “fitness expert” on television news and talk shows. I also give lectures and workshops, and write fitness related articles for all kinds of audiences.

I enjoy all types of exercise, both in the gym and outdoors. I received my black belt in Tae Kwon Do in Seoul, South Korea. In Hawaii, I was a student of the Physical Mind Pilates instructor training and regularly competed in triathlons. I've been a yoga practitioner since 1993, and my favorite style is Iyengar. I just started practicing meditation and it’s wonderful!!

What's your favorite public radio show?

I really like the Kojo Nnamdi Show- He has such an honest,sincere and trustworthy voice. He can get me interested in things I wouldn't have given a second thought to otherwise! Next, All Things Considered, Marketplace, and Morning Edition (when I'm awake for it!)

What song is stuck in your head right now, you know, a music wedgie?

"Girl From Ipanema", played by Stan Getz, "The Power of Goodbye" by Madonna, and "Lift Me Up" by Moby. :)

What sound is most characteristic of where you live?

Car horns and airplanes..

What's your favorite sound memory?

Crickets at night! They put me to sleep when I visited my Grandparent's house in PA. I also like the sounds of birds in the morning.

Which station do you listen to most?

Lately, it's 105.7 smooth Jazz - It's a good station to de-stress to!
