About Invictum Strength & Performance

Invictum is the Latin word for “unconquerable” — a philosophy that guides everything we do. At Invictum Strength & Performance, we believe training is more than just lifting weights; it’s about building resilience, discipline, and confidence that carries over into every part of your life.

Our approach goes beyond generic programming. Every client receives a customized training and nutrition plan built around their unique goals, abilities, and lifestyle. With one-on-one attention and a results-driven process, we ensure each step of your journey is purposeful and aligned with your long-term success.

For athletes and individuals passionate about strength sports, our semi-private training center offers limited memberships but access to specialized, high-end equipment designed for Powerlifting and Strongman. It’s a supportive environment where serious lifters can push their limits while being part of a focused community.

Whether you train with us in person, work with our coaches online, or train independently in our facility, our mission is the same: to help you embody the spirit of the unconquerable. To not just train harder, but to train smarter, longer, and stronger — until you become INVICTUM.

  • Owner/Head Coach

    Coach Gabe has been a personal trainer and coach since 2016, and has been coaching full time since the summer of 2019. He was the head wrestling coach at Forest High School in Ocala, FL from 2016-2021, but stepped away to focus on his own business.

    In 2021, Gabe helped open Optimal Strength & Performance, and then in 2023, after two successful years in that partnership, decided to step out on his own and opened Invictum Strength & Performance. As the Head Coach at Invictum Strength & Performance, Gabe has coached dozens of athletes and clients with several of them qualifying for strongman nationals, placing highly in their respective HS sport competition seasons, and several went on to play sports at the Collegiate level. 

    As an active strongman competitor, Gabe has qualified for USS Nationals four times, in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. He also actively trains jiu-jitsu and used to perform occasionally on the independent professional wrestling circuit as GabeZilla (those matches can be found on youtube). 

    In the spring of 2025 Coach Gabe welcomed his son, Caius, and in the small amount of remaining free time he has left, he enjoys playing guitar in his band, Vile Serpent.
