“When I founded the Club, my goal was to create a healthy, safe, and respectful environment where members could surpass themselves and achieve goals they never thought possible. Beyond those achievements, I’m incredibly proud of the community that has formed at the gym and the friendships that have blossomed here!”

Louis-Pierre co-founded the Club in 2012, starting as a full-time coach. Today, in addition to managing administration and marketing, he is committed to maintaining the Club’s positive and supportive culture. Louis-Pierre is also deeply involved in the world of competitive sports, serving as the coordinator for the Centre national d’athlétisme in Montreal for Athletics Canada.

With a degree in kinesiology, Pascal brings his expertise to every workout, not only helping you move better but also educating you on all things fitness and healthy living.

Dynamic, attentive, and highly skilled, William is dedicated to making every member’s workout the best hour of their day. He began his coaching journey in functional training six years ago in California, where the sport was born.

Mattyas Huggard

Coach
  • Training song : Genesis, by Justice
“As an athlete who competes in various cross-training competitions, coaching allows me to share my experience and tips with members so they can reach their goals. Whether it’s improving their gymnastics technique, advancing as an athlete, or simply moving for a better quality of life, I’m here to help—in a safe, inclusive, and fun atmosphere!”

Mattyas was drawn to functional training in 2012, combining cardiovascular work, Olympic weightlifting, and gymnastics. At the time, he was living a sedentary life as a PhD student, and this sport provided the perfect balance.

As a university professor, he brings a unique teaching approach to his coaching style.

Théo Verlaan

Coach
  • Training song : Good Love - Original Mix de Peter Rauhofer
“At a time when my relationship with sport was rather difficult, the Club allowed me to rediscover this passion. For me, the Club is much more than a place where you can surpass yourself physically. It is a community of exceptional individuals who help each other and celebrate small and big successes together, like the pride following your first push-up or your first muscle-up!” With more than ten years of experience in competitive swimming and six years in functional training, Théo aspires to share his passion for sport with each person he has the chance to meet. He wants to show that the Club is an inclusive space, where everyone, regardless of their level or physical condition, can flourish. But above all, it is essential for him that everything is done with pleasure, because otherwise, what’s the point?
