Show notes

# 48 - Gabriel Varona AKA Stunna

On this weeks episode of the Team Soul Podcast, we sit to talk with an OG in the Miami fitness scene, Gabriel Varona AKA Stunna. We talk about his background in fighting and MMA, how he got started as a trainer and the challenges of being a gym owner. Gaby also talks to us about the time he gave the shoes off of his feet to a homeless person in need and how that led to him creating @shoesforstreets and all the work they do to help the less fortunate in the community.

It seems that when disaster strikes is when Gaby gets to work. He has collected relief supplies and been on the ground in Houston, North Carolina, The Florida Keys, Panama City and has sent supplies to Puerto Rico after hurricanes hit. We will be helping Gaby collect water, canned foods, baby supplies, clothes, and shoes here at CrossFit Soul for another trip to the panhandle. Help us show our fellow Floridians some love and donate what you can. There is also a GoFundMe link on his IG, @shoesforstreets. The supplies will be collected from Soul on Thursday the 25th. www.teamsoultraining.com www.stunnasfit.com @stunnasfit_somi @shoesforstreets
