Testimonials

When I first came to see Gaby, I had a hamstring injury due to over training and putting a lot of stress on my legs. Gaby supported and encouraged me to take some necessary time to rest, which was is something that I was scared to do but it was so worth it. Gaby helped me gain the strength and flexibility back in my hamstring. She also helped me gain the confidence to start pushing myself harder.

Aside from being so helpful for my recovery, she has also been such a great person to spend time with, talk about my recruiting experience with, and just share my day with. I’m so grateful for all the help she has given me. 10 out of 10 physical therapy experience.

Starting physical therapy with Dr. Gaby Go at Healthy Baller has been one of the best decisions of my life. Every session I am pushed to grow mentally and physically.

Gaby pushes me to be stronger and to always give it my all. We have so many good laughs and chats throughout my session, which makes a tough rehab process much better. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her.

I’m a soccer player currently going through ACL rehab. Gaby has been working with me through my recovery and she has been extremely helpful. I can witness just how much progress I have made in 3 months and more then that Gaby has been so help with the mental aspects of recovery.

Recovery is challenging and frustrating at times and it is easy to feel bad. Luckily I have Gaby’s support, constantly giving me reminders of my progress and emphasizing the importance of reflecting on how far I have come. I am so glad to have her support on this journey.

Working with Gaby has been a game changer for both my lifting and running. As a very active adult that takes their workouts seriously, I have struggled for years with my hyper mobility which has caused various minor injuries as well as general discomfort.

Gaby is the first person I have ever worked with that subscribed to a therapeutic practice of empowering your body to heal itself. We quickly identified some major imbalances and weaknesses, and immediately began working to strengthen them.

The results have been incredible. I’m able to move in ways I wasn’t before and my running, particularly on hills, is actually possible now! The strength gains that I have made working with Gaby are unmistakeable and I recommend her as a PT (and wonderful person) to everyone I know!

Following my ACL surgery, I have had to re-learn a lot of things like running, jumping, sprinting, and even skipping.

For the first 10 months, I had basic physical therapy. A couple of months before I was due to return to wrestling, I still wasn’t feeling ready and was very worried that I wouldn’t make it.

I was then recommended to Healthy Baller, a physical therapy center that specializes in getting athletes strength and technique back so that they could return to sport.

I went in for my initial testing and my results were not great and I knew it was still going to be a long journey.

I worked with Dr. Gaby Go to gain my strength, mobility, and confidence to return to sport. I am now wrestling because of her. She has pushed me and helped me in every session that we have had. She pushes me past the point of what I think I can do and always encourages me to do better.

The best thing is she always has a smile on her face and makes each session fun. I am very grateful to have had her as my PT specialist and I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn't for her.

Running is my happy place, and when two stress fractures and poor marathon training left me completely unable to run, I started in-person PT with Gaby and committed to recovery and rebuilding my strength. Gaby would explain the purpose of each strength-building exercise and identify the weaknesses in my hips, glutes, and quads that made me prone to injury. PT sessions became therapy for me. I am so happy to be running pain free again and training for the Chicago marathon! If you’re considering running-focused PT, know that you’ll experience a complete shift in mindset about strength and run training. For me, it went from something I never did to my #1 priority.

I had been dealing with calf pain for months every time I tried to run. That pain eventually led to me getting out of shape because I couldn’t run for more than a few minutes. I’m part of the Army National Guard and need to be able to run. I came to Gaby when I couldn’t resolve the issue myself. Gaby is very thorough with her examination. She paid close attention to every minute move I made and took not only a specific approach to my calf problem but also a global approach and addressed other areas of weakness as well. I received some of the best care possible from her. Gaby follows up constantly with me and is a huge supporter. Through working with her, I was able to get back to running problem free and return to doing things I love such as playing recreational sports. I just recently passed my PT test for the NG without any issues. I would be in really bad shape if it wasn’t for Gaby. She is truly dedicated to her patients!

I decided to work with Gaby for my run and strength training for Chicago marathon and I am so happy I did! We worked on muscle imbalances I have from previous knee injuries. On race day, I was able to knock 6 minutes off my previous PR, qualify for Boston, and more importantly, I felt confident throughout the whole race and never felt like I was running out of steam. I was able to negative split the last 10K and finish very strong. I had never felt that way in previous marathons!! Thank you Gaby for holding me accountable and helping me crush my goals.

I've been running recreationally since 2018 and raced here and there, but had trouble knowing how to adjust my training every time life got in the way. I knew I wanted to take my running to the next level, but I needed help. That’s when I found Go Run Stronger. Coach Alex is so understanding when it comes to my busy schedule. She knows how to schedule tough workouts to push me forward, but adjusts my weeks when my body calls for some rest. I also joined the GRS strength training app and can fit in three strength sessions per week that I know are targeting the right muscles. With all this help I PR’ed in my recent half marathon by 11 minutes! Thanks Coach Alex and GRS! Can’t wait to see what the future hold!

Coaching with Alex has been the best investment in myself in 2023! I have been running for a few years, but was hitting a plateau on my own, and knew I would need some guidance to achieve my speed goals.

Alex has been an incredible coach to work with - not only did her plan provide me the push that I needed to grow, but she was so supportive every step of the way! I really love how personalized my training is, and how extremely responsive Alex was to helping me make adjustments to my training or answering any questions or comments.

With Alex’s help, I have grown so much as a runner in only a few months, and was able to get a new PB in my 5k. I have really enjoyed working with GRS and cannot wait to continue into the new year!

I started running at the beginning of 2023 with the long term goal of racing a sub-3:30 marathon (Boston Qualifying time). After running a half marathon in July I decided I needed a run coach and started working with Alex. A few weeks after I started working with her, I noticed I was starting to feel like a much stronger runner. I ended up running a 3:28 at CIM and knocked 20 min off my previous marathon time! Thank you Coach Alex!

I had been an avid runner for a number of years. Then work seemed to get in the way and I found myself getting very out of shape and sitting in a desk chair all day. I felt that I needed to work on my overall strength to get back into running. I  considered hiring a personal trainer but that was going to be too expensive.

So I started to look for training programs online. The problem I found was that they were not flexible and they did not have the variety I was looking for. Most importantly there was nobody to talk to to get advice and make adjustments.

I was thrilled to find Gaby. The variety and type of exercises was exactly what I was looking for. I have been working with Gaby for multiple lift cycles and couldn’t be happier with the programming. Gaby is responsive to questions and making adjustments based on my input. I was impressed enough to encourage my wife to use Gaby to train for a marathon.

I’ve been running for a few years now, but after battling frequent injuries and feeling like I was plateauing in my performances, I decided it was time to take my training to my next level. Coach Alex helped me get through my marathon training cycle completely healthy and I was able to set a PB in my goal race marathon and 10k along the way.

I love how individualized my training is and how supportive Alex, Gaby, and everyone at Go Run Stronger are. I can’t wait to keep working with GRS and I am so excited to continue progressing my running.

Whether you’re an amateur or seasoned runner, getting back into running is daunting.

I suffered from over-training throughout college which led to a bad IT band injury. I stopped running for over a year and stuck to other sports that didn’t involve as much running.

When I had the idea to start again and potentially do a marathon, coming across Gaby’s Instagram was a blessing! Given Gaby’s similar college athletic background and her impressive DPT credentials I knew we would work great together!

She set me up for success from the start. The expectations and plans were clear and easy to follow. Her run and strength training was detailed and customized.

She altered the plan when needed, prioritized my recovery, and I finished training strong! I seriously couldn’t have ran my first marathon successfully and with a sub-3:30 time without Gaby!

I’ve been following Gaby on Instagram for a while and I’ve loved her approach to running/strength training so I was so excited when GoRunStringer started! I originally came to the team after dealing with a past knee injury that still caused some issues here and there. Since working with Alex and Pete, I’ve become stronger, had minimal to no knee pain, and achieved a PR at the Richmond half. The whole team is invested in you and your goals. Alex and Pete have been amazing mentors/trainers and I have learned a lot from them.
