Hugo’s passion for training started on the basketball court, first as a player and then as a coach. That passion quickly grew into a curiosity for all kinds of movement: team sports, combat sports, outdoor activities and board sports. He has always loved discovering new ways to move.
Hugo holds two Master’s degrees in Sport Science (Training and Optimization of Sports Performance) from the University of Rouen-Normandy in France and has also completed training in nutrition. He worked as the National Team Strength & Conditioning Coach for the French Ice Hockey Federation, then as Head of Performance for professional fighters in Cambodia, while coaching clients of all ages and levels one-on-one.
Hugo sees the body as a whole, connected to the mind, and believes it’s essential to keep it moving. His evidence-based approach is built around fundamental, full-body movements that combine strength, mobility, flexibility and coordination, along with neuromuscular and cognitive work. With a strong background in motor learning, he puts movement quality first, then builds strength progressively and tracks progress along the way. Every program is tailored to the person and their goals, whether that’s building muscle, losing weight, feeling better day to day or performing in a sport. Hugo enjoys sharing his knowledge and works hand in hand with his clients, so that every session is one they genuinely look forward to.
When he’s not in the gym, you’ll probably find Hugo on a basketball court, at a hockey arena, cooking (French food, obviously!) or reading a book.
