Angela listens intently, is extremely knowledgeable, tailors workouts to strengthen my weak areas and yet avoid injury....all while challenging me at the same time. I've gained strength and confidence through this process. I am grateful for Angela's help and encouragement, and for stressing the importance of movement, strength and healthy choices.

My experience with Angela has been nothing but positive. She is professional, thorough and patient.
We started with a complete medical history review and testing of my current physical condition.
From there, Angela helped me develop a personalized workout plan to address my concerns.
All throughout I received plenty of tips and suggestions regarding nutrition and lifestyle.
I highly recommend Angela and Fifty Plus Personal Training!

I’ve started and stopped with many trainers over the years and have never had the positive experience I’ve had with Angela. No matter how many trainers I’ve told that it’s taken me a long time to get so out of shape and I don’t expect to turn it around in a session or two (and I always add, don’t hurt me or I won’t be back), Angela is the first one who’s listened. What started as a way of helping me recover more quickly from a scheduled knee replacement has ended up as a lifestyle change…including canceling my surgery because although I’ve still got old knees, they no longer cause me constant pain. Angela listens and works with me and knows when to push me and maybe more importantly, when to stop pushing. I recommend Angela without hesitation.

Here’s an update: I had my first knee replacement 9 days ago. Seems like arthritis doesn’t listen to Angela. My surgeon is fantastic and I was up walking with the aid of a walker within an hour of waking up. I used the walker a little more that day and for a few hours the next morning and then not again. I was prescribed all sorts of pain meds but never needed them. I did take a Tylenol each of the last three days but really no pain. My surgeon will have to share credit with Angela because I can’t imagine my recovery would be this smooth had I not been working with her to strengthen all the appropriate muscles to prepare for surgery. I started physical therapy the day after surgery and will keep at it diligently while also working with Angela to prepare for my next knee surgery. Angela’s prehab will make rehab much easier and hopefully I’ll be playing bad golf again soon!

As a 66 year old sedentary women I was concerned about how my lack of balance, strength and stamina was impacting my life style and could tell it was going downhill. My daughter found angela for me and I am just wrapping up a 16 week session with her. She is the PERFECT trainer! She developed a program that incrementally stretched me, while helping me build my confidence. She knew when to gently push me harder and when to introduce new exercises to keep me building my strength. In top of this, she is a caring, compassionate person who is dedicated to helping people. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Angela's clinical expertise, knowledge and skills allowed her to take the information she gathered from my physical assessment and medical history to develop a personalized fitness program based on my needs and goals. After two back injuries she literally took me from the inability to get down to or up from the floor to living an active lifestyle without fear of another injury. Now I enjoy solo functional strength training including weights and machines and a variety of fitness classes at my gym. She methodically coaches, assesses and advances you along the way and gently encourages you to do things you think you can't. Angela was a pleasure to work with and I could not have made this progress without her.

Angela is a gem! She is extremely well organized, on time and always prepared to bring you a step further. On days, when exercising doesn’t agree with my body, she scales the workout back and still makes me feel like I accomplished something. I am getting stronger by the week and even though I despise exercise I now look forward to my time with Angela, while improving my mobility, flexibility and stamina.

Angela is so knowledgeable. and an excellent personal trainer. She was able to get me feeling strong again after a lapse in exercising. The sessions are tailored to your needs. She kept fastidious notes on each session. As a result, time with her was well-spent. Angela is friendly, easy to get along with, and extremely positive. She was a great help to me.

I set out to find a personal trainer for my mother who was looking to ease into a more regular exercise routine, but was cautious because she has bad knees and was very hesitant to have a personal trainer come to her home. I came across Angela and I'm so glad I did, she has been more than wonderful for the past year. Angela was responsive and listened to our concerns. She quickly set up sessions with my mom and has kept me in the loop from time to time on her progress. Not to mention she shares great health resources and recipes!

I really like that Angela specializes in my mother's age range and is extremely knowledgeable. She is very cautious and laser focused on technique, ensuring that my mom has gotten stronger and avoided any injuries. My mom now looks forward to her training and is stronger every day. It's been life changing for our family and we can't thank Angela enough. I strongly recommend Angela for anyone in your life 50 and older that is looking to take a step into becoming healthier and stronger. She will get them there!

When you meet a consummate professional, you know it.

In the world of personal trainers, Angela Gagauf stands out for her intelligence, dedication, and an inexplicable ability to make exercise seem easy.

She is an angel for the elderly as well as a personal advertisement for the benefits of fitness training. Her professionalism is underscored by her initial personal health assessment—one infinitely more thorough than that provided by even your local physician. Unlike other trainers, she does not come in with a set exercise regimen. Instead, Angela Gagauf takes the time to plan a unique program based on your needs, health, and physical ability. After an extensive and valuable assessment, she designs a set of exercises tailored for each individual’s health problems and flexibility. She then studies your prowess on each assigned exercise and adjusts them based on your feedback immediately.

She also has a great sense of humor and is undaunted by squeaking bones and even occasional resistance.

Finally, how much are you willing to invest in your health? Is it worth the cost of a few dinners at an elegant restaurant like Trulucks or an armful of clothes from Chicos? Of course, it is—especially if it frees you from pain. Sometimes it’s all a matter of putting it in perspective.

Even if personal training temporarily goes the way of New Year’s resolutions, you can retain the exercise sheets and the videos that Angela assists you in making, ensuring that nothing is ever lost.

And today, Angela Gagauf was finally given appropriate recognition—she is identified as a top trainer of SWFL in the July 2022 issue of Gulfshore Life.

Calling Angela was one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made! She has given me the confidence and support i needed in my wish to become the best I can be as I turned 70. Angela is far more than a personal trainer…she takes to heart your personal goals, and equips you with the exact tools you require, taking into account all your medical and physical needs. Her extensive training, as well as her keen interest in you as a person, brings the best training you could hope for. In just a few months, I feel stronger, younger, and more energetic. With Angela’s expertise and guidance, I have no doubt that my 70s will be vibrant, capable and active.

Angela is a very knowledgeable trainer; she understands each client and works towards their personal needs after a very extensive assessment. She helped me build strength in some problem areas and was careful that I did not reinjure at the same time. Angela developed a program for me to do independently to continue to build my strength and endurance on my own, making sure I understood how to use the equipment correctly. Thank You Angela!

Angela combines the best combination of qualities for a physical trainer. She is completely professional, knowledgable, dedicated to finding the best way to achieve the results her clients seek, and still fun to be with.
I have had back problems since a surgery 3 years ago and I would trust Angels to always be sensitive to protect my back while strengthening it.

I called Angela out of all the personal trainers in our area because of her emphasis on “Fifty Plus”, and I liked her photo. It is my first experience with a trainer. It took us @ 5 weeks for Angela to be able to free up time that also fit into my schedule but after writing and talking with her I wanted to try her, and it was worth the wait! Angela took my bone mass info and other medical conditions into account in her strength exercises and was very persistent with, and responsive to my needs. Angela helped inspire me to reach a weight I haven’t seen in many years, and to feel stronger. I have actually experienced what Angela espoused: it’s the many little things you do consistently that create the change you want. I highly recommend Angela for those who really want to reach their goals.

It's not about what I did or do for Angela, it's all about what Angela did and does for me. I had a very serious stroke five years ago, I've put a great deal of effort into getting back to what will be my new normal. I reached out to Angela, she conversed with my trainer in WI, asked me what I wanted to accomplish and proceeded to help me with balance, strength and most important gave me the confidence that I can continue to get better. While I'm realistic enough to understand that the real "normal" is gone I can't wait for my new normal especially with the care, concern, knowledge and continual push to from my only Florida trainer!
Two words "The Best".

We really now consider her a friend who happens to be the best Medical Trainer ever.

Angela has helped me tremendously. I was so intimidated and would only use a treadmill, bike or a rowing machine in the gym. I was diagnosed with patella issues and wasn’t sure I would ever play tennis again.

Angela was definitely the right trainer for me.

I worked with Angela this past year (2019) to help me work around some injuries as well as help me with my exercise routine. I’m a regular exerciser so I didn’t need someone to get me to exercise.

She gave me pointers on different exercise routines as well as improvements on my form. She is an excellent trainer and I highly recommend her.

I met Angela at a social event, and after having a conversation with her about my recent osteoporosis diagnosis (at age 57) decided to hire her.
I have never used a personal trainer, and did not know what to expect.

I started working with Angela Xenis Gagauf in November of 2017 - going on 10 months now. Before we began she took a thorough assessment of my strength levels and capabilities. She also got to know my medical condition and always keeps it front and center as she's developing new workout routines for me.

Prior to working with Angela I had always taken gym classes and actually resisted working with a personal trainer - I felt I needed the energy of a group class to keep me motivated.

Well, working with Angela really opened my eyes to a more effective way to work out! Having a trainer focused on my particular goals and taking into account my personal capabilities has really made a difference for me.

Since working with Angela I have lost weight but more importantly have really developed muscle strength - so important as we age. I was never able to achieve this level of muscle strength merely participating in group fitness classes at the gym.

Angela is extremely knowledgeable about training and I have complete confidence in her ability to help me continue to reach my fitness goals.

I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to take their commitment to fitness and health to the next level.

Take it from me, an 82 year old duffer who thought all was well with me and my body. Thank God for my wife referring Angela to me! It was Angela who showed me that over the years nature had taken away some of the strength I had when I was younger.

During the 5 months we have worked together I have improved way more than I could have imagined!
Angela has worked with me and designed a workout schedule (three days a week) including pictures she
had taken to remind me of the exercises. Now, for the six months away from Florida I do the workouts and continue to improve. Can't wait to see Angela again when we return to Florida and to her.
