Functional training

It is designed to improve your strength, mobility, endurance and flexibility, with natural movements that replicate everyday actions.

Thanks to dynamic exercises tailored to your level, you will strengthen your entire body while developing lasting athletic abilities.

Pilates

Pilates, in all its splendour, is a practice that emphasises harmony between body and mind, while strengthening body awareness.

This method focuses on stability, flexibility and body control. It improves posture, increases flexibility, strengthens deep muscles and promotes concentration.

Yoga

Yoga has a profound effect on both the body and mind.

Physically, it improves flexibility, strengthens muscles, corrects posture and relieves chronic pain such as backache.

Mentally, it relieves stress and anxiety and helps you manage your emotions better through breathing and meditation.

So regain your mental balance while making your body more flexible.

Pre & Postnatal
Training

Well-structured prenatal and postnatal exercise programmes not only help maintain physical fitness, but also prevent postpartum complications, while promoting faster and more effective recovery afterwards.

Your most frequently asked questions

FAQ

How often you should see a fitness coach depends on your goals, your fitness level, and your schedule.

It is generally recommended to have between two and three sessions per week with a coach. This allows for a good balance between intensity and recovery, while allowing the coach to tailor the sessions to your specific needs.

Outside of sessions with a coach, it is important to supplement your training with light activities (such as walking, yoga, or stretching) to promote recovery and maintain an active lifestyle. It is also crucial to follow your coach’s advice on rest and nutrition.

Yoga and Pilates are a complementary duo, ideal for developing both physical strength and mental well-being.

Both are excellent for toning muscles, but each in a slightly different way.

Yoga and Pilates are more than enough to maintain functional muscle tone, improve posture, and develop overall strength.

If your goals are more focused on significant muscle gain or very specific and rapid strengthening, adding dumbbells or a complementary weight training routine may be beneficial.

For truly visible results, you can generally expect to see changes within 6 to 12 weeks, depending on your starting point and your commitment.

Frequency of activity is one of the factors that influence physical changes.

Physical changes depend on several factors, including frequency, intensity, duration and type of physical activity, as well as progression, recovery, nutrition and sleep quality.

Overtraining occurs when your body does not have enough time to recover between training sessions that are too intense or too frequent.

Planning adequate rest days, varying the intensity of your sessions, not training intensely every day, and scheduling rest days during the week allows your body to recover and avoid injury. It is important to listen to your body.

Sports periodisation is the systematic planning of a short- and long-term training programme with variable loads, rest periods, and adequate recovery time.

Motivation isn’t something you have, it’s something you do.

To find motivation, you need to start by identifying a personal reason: improving your health, feeling better about your body, reducing stress, or simply regaining energy.

Exercising doesn’t always mean sweating it out on your own — it can also mean chasing after your children, dancing with friends, or laughing while playing. Sport can be a bonding experience.

It’s essential to choose an activity that you really enjoy, not just one that you think you should do.

Set the right goals. Setting simple, achievable goals, even very small ones, creates a sense of progress. Doing something regularly, even a little, creates momentum: the more you move, the more you want to continue.

Being surrounded by people who exercise can really help boost your motivation.

You can build muscle effectively at home using bodyweight exercises such as push-ups, squats, lunges, core training, or pull-ups.

You can also increase the difficulty by wearing a weighted backpack or using elastic bands. The key is to be consistent, progress gradually and eat a balanced diet rich in protein.

No need for expensive equipment.

Motivation and consistency are the keys!

Consistency: whether you choose to train in the morning or evening, consistency is the key to success, especially at the beginning.

Choose a schedule that suits you and stick to it, and make your training a priority.

 

After a vaginal delivery:

More strenuous exercise (running, fitness training, etc.): after 6 weeks, following perineal rehabilitation.

Caesarean section:

Resuming exercise: after 8 to 10 weeks, allowing time for the muscles and scar to heal.

Medical approval is essential before resuming exercise.

Resuming exercise after childbirth depends on several factors, including the type of delivery (vaginal or caesarean), personal recovery, and the recommendations of your healthcare professional. Consult your doctor or midwife before resuming physical activity.

A fitness coach improves the effectiveness of training sessions through a tailor-made programme, continuous motivation and optimal execution of exercises.

Training with a coach leads to faster results thanks to a personalised programme, correct execution of movements, constant motivation and tailored progression.

The best way to find a professional fitcoach is often through word of mouth.

Before you start your search, clearly determine what you want to achieve: weight loss, muscle gain, preparation for a sporting event, improvement of your overall physical condition, etc.

Each coach may have a speciality, and some may be more suited to your needs than others.
