Getting to know
Angela Gargano
Angela Gargano is a fierce athlete, coach, international fitness model, and speaker. Before becoming a full-time multi-passionate entrepreneur, Angela worked as a biochemist at Brown University. Since throwing in the lab coat and goggles in 2013 to open her own gym in Cranston, Rhode Island, Angela has truly lived multiple lives in the athletic and entrepreneurial space, defying odds and setbacks to become an authentic and relatable voice to the public eye.
Angela has now competed on American Ninja Warrior 4x, won the Title of Miss Fitness America 2016, and created an online fitness empire for women called Strong Feels Good, where she teaches women to ditch the scale and focus on strength and feeling as a way to measure progress. She has also helped over 500 women conquer their pull-ups with her online program, Pull-up Revolution. In summer 2021, Angela appeared all over the world as the Oxygen Magazine Covergirl, where she spoke about tearing her ACL on the Ninja Warrior course and coming back 11 months later stronger than ever.
Angela is a huge advocate for speaking about body image, as she was made fun of growing up for her “manly” arms and build. She would hide in a sweatshirt daily at school to avoid being made fun of, and was rejected by many fitness modeling agencies. But this didn’t stop Angela from now having 3 magazine covers and becoming an international fitness model in some of the world’s biggest publications: Women’s Health, Shape, Strong Fitness Magazine, and Popsugar Fitness.
Angela is strong, both mentally and physically, and she teaches you to love the body you are in. She is real, relatable, approachable, and down-to-earth. With Angela, there is fun and smiles, and there is grit, determination, and sweat. She is easy to understand and great to work with. Angela’s mission is to revolutionize how people feel about their bodies by identifying their inner strength and embracing the powerful body and mind they have been gifted.

What If It All Goes Right? Even when it isn’t…
There is enormous power in shifting your mindset—especially when it seems as if everything is going wrong. BUT WHAT IF IT GOES RIGHT? is about how to change your perspective to understand how and why what is happening in your life, even at the toughest moments, is happening for you, not to you. Although the world may seem dark and scary, BUT WHAT IF IT GOES RIGHT? shows you that you have full control of how you see your life, and, therefore, how you choose to act in it. Why live in a world where everything sucks when, by shifting your mindset, you can live in a world full of possibility and positivity?
This this keynote, Angela Gargano shares her story from an insecure and anxious teenager to misdirected young adult, to becoming a woman who saw how to step into her power. The core of this journey was learning to change how I understood what was happening in my life. My story, which forms the narrative backbone of the book, is supported by stories from other high-achieving people who have made their own attitude shifts to overcome challenges. We will go through specific, actionable steps you can take right now to change your perspective and control your life.
