Gabby Logan: From Gymnastics to the Top of Sports Broadcasting | Open Gym with Sam Warburton

Gabby Logan joins her close friend Sam Warburton for an episode of Open Gym at SW7 Academy, reflecting on her journey from competitive gymnast to one of Britain’s most recognisable sports broadcasters.

Sport has always played a defining role in Gabby’s life. In this episode, she discusses her early background in gymnastics, growing up in a sporting family and how those experiences helped shape the discipline, confidence and resilience she would later take into her broadcasting career. Having presented some of the world’s biggest sporting events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Gabby also shares what it takes to build a successful career in sports broadcasting and continue performing at the highest level.

The conversation goes beyond Gabby’s career, exploring how her relationship with sport has evolved through different stages of her life. She and Sam discuss parenting, the role sport now plays in her children’s lives and why she continues to prioritise strength, fitness and movement—not for competition, but for her health, confidence and longevity.

As close friends, Gabby and Sam bring plenty of warmth and humour to the episode while having an honest conversation about ambition, family, ageing well and maintaining the habits that support a long and healthy life.
