Gabby Reece is an American athletic icon, wellness entrepreneur, podcast host, bestselling author, and one of the most influential voices in women’s health, fitness, and performance. A former professional beach volleyball player who became Nike’s first female spokesperson and shoe designer, Gabby has spent decades redefining strength, longevity, and what it means to live well.

Known for breaking conventions both on and off the court, Gabby’s signature shoe line famously outsold Air Jordan during its release, while her athletic career at Florida State University set volleyball records that still stand today. Simultaneously, her modeling career landed her on the covers of publications ranging from Sports Illustrated to Vogue, helping redefine traditional perceptions of feminine strength and paving the way for female athletes to become mainstream cultural influencers.

As a serial entrepreneur, Gabby has co-founded multiple companies and platforms at the intersection of performance, wellness, and human potential, including Hamilton House, Laird Superfood (NYSE: LSF), XPT, and HIGHX. Through these ventures, she has helped pioneer conversations around recovery, functional fitness, nutrition, resilience, and sustainable high performance long before they became mainstream.

Gabby is also the founder and host of The Gabby Reece Show, where she interviews world-class experts, athletes, scientists, physicians, and thought leaders to translate cutting-edge wellness and performance research into actionable tools for everyday life. In addition, she co-hosts the Proof of Practice podcast alongside Dr. Stacy Sims, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Amber Taylor, and Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan — bringing together leading voices in women’s health, strength, longevity, and evidence-based performance.

A New York Times bestselling author of My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper: A Guide to the Less Than Perfect Life, Gabby is known for her grounded, straightforward approach to leadership, parenting, relationships, and personal growth. Her philosophy centers on a simple but powerful belief: true strength comes from taking ownership of your life while remaining open to growth, discipline, and learning from others.

Whether leading a workout, hosting a conversation, building community, or mentoring the next generation, Gabby’s mission remains consistent — helping people build stronger bodies, clearer minds, deeper resilience, and lives rooted in purpose and integrity.

Together with her husband, legendary big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton, and their three children, Gabby splits her time between Kauai and Malibu, living the intentional, ever-evolving lifestyle she champions for others.
