“When I found out that Yann had his own coaching company, I didn’t hesitate to contact him for a fitness session with a loss of 5kg.
Having known him for almost 10 years as a football coach and having seen him grow through his various experiences in France and abroad (Belgium, Argentina, etc.), I called on his services without hesitation even though I had never had any personalized coaching.
A sportsman since the age of 7 and today at 53, I appreciated his pragmatic, professional and honest qualities of his analysis and his solutions (“he does not push for consumption…).
Linking fitness and a rebalancing of food (and not a diet), his approach is complete and accessible to everyone if of course, you are motivated

The advantage with Yann is that in addition to having a great deal of experience, he is also very versatile. No matter your sport, he will know how to adapt.
With me, he didn't just help me get back in shape, he knew how to get me out of my comfort zone to surpass myself even more and progress more physically, technically but also mentally.
Very accommodating and available, he will do everything to help you achieve your goals and even exceed them.
Determination and him are one"

Without Yann and his support, I would never have managed to stay motivated!

"I met Yann at a Sport Spirit camp. I really liked his way of working, especially on surpassing oneself. Having worked with Argentinians all my life, I saw a certain similarity with Yann in terms of work.
After the camp I wanted to train more regularly with him on the physical side and nutrition. Two points on which he helped me a lot.
Being regularly on the other side of the world for tournaments, we nevertheless stay in contact for everything related to my preparation and I am very happy about it.

Available, passionate, attentive and professional coach, Yann is committed and involved. He allows us to achieve our goals whatever our level by establishing a suitable and complete program for us.
Also needing nutritional advice, Yann gave me the right reflexes to have to always be in top shape.
Disappointed with some training sessions, he always has the right words to remotivate us and above all he always sees the good side of things.
I just have one word to say: THANK YOU"
