One-to-One Sessions

Private sessions structured around a detailed initial assessment and a rolling periodised plan. Frequency, volume, and intensity are calibrated to the individual's schedule and current capacity.

S — 02

Group Training

Small-group sessions of four to six participants. Each session follows a shared programme with individual load modifications, preserving the social energy of group work without sacrificing precision.

S — 03

Strength Programmes

Twelve-week strength cycles structured around compound movements, with progressive loading protocols. Each cycle concludes with a performance review and an adjusted plan for the following block.

S — 04

Endurance Coaching

Running, cycling, and general aerobic capacity blocks designed for event preparation or baseline conditioning. Pace zones, session structure, and active recovery scheduling are mapped across the full block.

S — 05

Body Composition Review

A structured assessment of current body composition using standardised measurement methods. Results are reviewed across the programme to inform loading decisions and recovery allocation.

S — 06

Nutrition Guidance

Practical, balanced meal guidance focused on pre-session fuel, post-session recovery nutrition, and daily hydration habits. Guidance is anchored in published nutritional research and adapted to the individual's lifestyle.

02 — About the Practice

A practice built around what actually works over time.

The studio was established with a single premise: that sustained physical progress is not a product of intensity alone, but of the coherence between effort, recovery, and structured adaptation. Over eight years of practice, this premise has held.

Each coaching relationship begins with a movement screening — a structured observation of how the individual moves, where restriction exists, and what the likely consequence of that restriction will be under load. From this point, a programme is written, not borrowed.

The record of that programme — its design logic, its adjustments, its outcomes — forms the working document of the engagement. It is revised at each review, never discarded.

From first assessment to final review — a coherent process.

Progress Review

At the close of each block, a structured review session identifies what held, what shifted, and what the next phase requires.

04 — Participant Notes
“The movement screening at the start revealed something I’d been carrying for two years without realising. The programme we built from that point was entirely different to anything I’d done before — and it showed.”

06 — Common Questions

What to expect before the first session.

The initial consultation takes approximately sixty minutes. It involves a structured conversation about your current activity, goals, and any areas of restriction, followed by a practical movement screening. From this, a draft programme outline is prepared and reviewed together before the first training session begins.

Group sessions follow a shared programme framework, with loading and intensity modifications for each participant. The maximum group size is six. Sessions run for fifty minutes and are scheduled across fixed weekly slots. Participants are grouped based on a shared capacity profile established at intake.

Each programme runs in defined blocks — typically eight to twelve weeks. At the close of each block, a formal review session is scheduled. This session compares performance data against the original targets, identifies the adaptations that occurred, and sets the parameters for the following cycle. No block is identical to its predecessor.

The primary studio is at 28, Rue des Martyrs in Paris’s 9th arrondissement. A small number of outdoor and partner-facility sessions are also scheduled throughout the year for endurance blocks and sports conditioning work. Remote programme support, including written plans and check-in sessions, is available for those outside Paris.

Yes. Practical nutrition guidance — focused on meal timing, portion awareness, and hydration habits — can be integrated into any programme at no additional cost. The guidance provided is anchored in published nutritional research and is structured around the individual’s training schedule. It is not a substitute for input from a registered dietitian, but it addresses the practical, day-to-day decisions that most influence training outcomes.

The lead coach holds a BPJEPS qualification (Brevet Professionnel de la Jeunesse, de l’Éducation Populaire et du Sport) with a specialisation in fitness coaching, alongside ongoing professional development in movement assessment and sports conditioning. Full professional insurance is maintained. Certificates of practice are available on request.

A programme that begins with what you can actually do — and builds from there.
