Be Honest; Aren’t You Tired of This?
Let’s be real.
Aren’t you tired of those stupid situations where…
- You wake up and need a five-minute negotiation with your back before getting out of bed?
- Playing with your kids feels like a full-body cardio test?
- Tying your shoes turns into a dangerous flexibility challenge?
- That one fast pickleball shot feels like it’s personally mocking you?
- Or a single business trip wrecks your body for a week?
Yeah, it’s time to fix that.
I help men and women over 40 move freely again without pain, without hesitation, and without all the “getting older” drama your body’s been throwing at you.
Through personalized mobility and strength coaching, we rebuild the way your body moves, so you can actually enjoy all those little moments again from chasing your kids to catching that impossible shot.
Mobility & Rehabilitation Method Assess, Rebuild, Retrain
Step 1
Assess
Figure Out What’s Really Going On
We start by getting honest about what’s happening in your body.
Because “I just need to stretch more” usually means you’ve been guessing for months.
I’ll pinpoint what’s actually causing your stiffness, pain, or loss of movement, not just the symptoms.
Think of it like detective work for your body: no fluff, no guesswork, just clarity.
You’ll finally understand why your back locks up or why your knees complain every time you take the stairs.
Step 2
Rebuild
Teach Your Body How to Move Again
Here’s where the magic (and a little sweat) happens.
We rebuild your movement patterns the ones that years of desk work, injuries, and “I’ll get back to it next month” have wrecked.
You’ll start feeling things you haven’t felt in years: real hip mobility, smooth shoulders, actual energy in the morning.
And don’t worry this isn’t bootcamp. It’s precision work: smart, focused, and surprisingly satisfying.
Step 3
Retrain
Make It Stick for Real Life
Now we take your new mobility and make it bulletproof.
This is where you stop “trying not to hurt” and start living again playing pickleball, traveling without back pain, tying your shoes without fear.
You’ll move, breathe, and recover like your body’s on your team again.
No gimmicks. No crazy workouts. Just you moving the way you were built to.
It’s not rehab. It’s a reset.
A smarter, more sustainable way to get your body back strong, capable, and ready for everything life throws at you..

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I can’t recommend Fabien enough. He’s helped me get into great shape and is a pleasure to work with. For the last four months, we’ve been working out three times a week, and he’s always in a great mood, always on time, and knows how to push me right to my limit. I’ve learned many new exercises; our workouts are always fun and challenging. Prior to Fabien, I hadn’t had a great experience working out with other trainers. I’ve often had trainers who were late, who wouldn’t focus on me (e.g., they’re doing their own workout during mine), or pushed me past the breaking point, causing me to get injured. Fabien is very different. Reliable, very friendly, and consistently pushes me right up to my limit. In 4 months, I’ve gotten so much stronger, and my endurance is way better. Frankly, at 42 years old, I’m in the best shape of my life, and Fabien has played a big role in getting me to where I am today. Fabien is a solid 10/10.
James G. (CEO)
Fabien is simply the best, most professional and most effective trainer I have ever known. I have been exercising regularly now for more than 50 years and thought, based on my experience, I knew more than any trainer. But I could not have been more wrong. Fabien knows every muscle in the body and can exercise each of them in many different ways. He customizes each session based on how you feel and what needs work, while at the same time building a solid base of overall fitness. I highly recommend Fabien!
Frederik K. (Business Lawyer)
I’m not usually one to write reviews—in fact, this is my very first—but Fabien is worth an exception. I work a demanding job, which often keeps me behind a desk upwards of 10 hours a day, and over the years I’ve racked up more than a few injuries from 20+ years of daily surfing—knees, shoulders, neck—you name it. Some major, some minor, but the kind of stuff that compounds and only gets worse as time goes on. Fabian has been no short of incredible. He strikes the perfect balance between motivating and supporting, pushing me not just in strength and cardio, but also focusing on the mobility I need to stay in the water. He goes above and beyond in every session, and what started as personal training has turned into a real friendship. Honestly, he’s surpassed every expectation I had. If you’re considering training, don’t think twice. Fabian’s your guy. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Asher K. (Founder and COO)
As a former athlete with a good amount of injuries who ended up -through my 30s and 40s- full-time at a desk & overly focused on my business, I ended up up with a daily hurt and a loss of self-care. Discovering & Hiring Fabien has been a god sent… his high skills + strong knowledge of the body’s structure and mechanicals have provided a winning combination of physical therapy and training that has allowed me to witness see rapid measurable results in fitness and flexibility without further injuries. I am highly recommending him. A life changer.
Ludo B. (CEO)
An all-around great trainer, Fabien is attentive, encouraging, and uplifting. He is so helpful in explaining how to target certain areas and knows how to customize the workout for your body and challenges you to do the best you can but in the nicest possible way. Fabien will develop a personalized workout for you based on your fitness goals, and he will stay focused each and every session you have. Get in for a workout and I promise you’ll be hooked!
Isabella G. (Senior Accountant)
I highly recommend Fabien as training coach. He is extremely competent in customizing his training to your goals. His approach mixes very well the mind and body wellness and strength. Strong recommendation whether this is for your personal training or group training to boost your team achieve extraordinary goals.
Marc P. (V.P. Wireless Company)
Best trainer ever… Fabien has changed my entire mind about what I eat, making the process so incredibly simple and explaining it in a simple way. I love the way that he approached our training together. He understands the body very well, but quickly understood things about my lifestyle, way of thinking, body type and what we could do in terms of physical training and food management to make changes. He seriously made the process simple. I am not killing myself to eat right, or exercise but I am seeing very rapid results, and an entire change in my health. I can not say enough about how well this is going, and I would want anyone who is considering help in improving their health to contact him and consider working with him. He is doing everything right. Thank you Fabien!
Kerri B. (Customer Care Specialist)
The Best Ever
After spending a lifetime being involved in health and fitness, going to gyms, and exercising with various teachers and personal training, I have finally been lucky enough to find the trainer that I wish I had had so very many years ago. Fabien’s unique method makes me realize that the exercises promoted by all the others I have known are sloppy and ineffective. He is so precise and exact in how he has me position myself and move correctly that I am always amazed at how I am gaining so much strength and energy with such simple but exact effort, even at this late age! It is a real workout with real results. Fabien is truly a fitness treasure!
Marsha P. (Retired Scientist)
Being an executive in the corporate world is no easy job and puts a lot of stress on your mind and body. After decades of that regimen, I decided to refocus on my wellbeing and invest in myself with the help of a personal trainer. I have now been training 3 times a week for 3 months with Fabien and this is one of the best decisions I made this year. Fabien is a real pro at his craft but he also is quite compassionate. We all have weak points like a bad shoulder or a bad knee. As a coach, he took me where I was and helped me progress safely, session after session, and checking on me the next day. Now I have way more strength, agility, endurance and I am looking forward to each session as it feels they go by in a heartbeat. Having Fabien as a coach is the best gift you can give to yourself!
Catherine M. (Executive Coach)
I want to write this review so that potential clients know what a great trainer Fabien is! I believe he is the essential ingredient if you want to tone up, learn a healthier lifestyle or gain muscles. Fabien designs a personalized program to fit your needs and goals. You can really feel his experience and deep knowledge of fitness.
He has a very positive and motivational approach to helping you to reach your goals. He shares great nutritional guidelines and tips. Always on time, Fabien brings the gym to your place so no excuse to skip a session!
Ben R. (Financial Senior Manager)
Fabien is an outstanding personal trainer. He is friendly and kind. He would work with your schedule and make it easy for you. He would customize a workout that is right for you. As I started my personal training sessions, I always felt I was in good and capable hands. He mixed it up where he implemented exercises that would incorporate strength, flexibility, balance and low intensity cardiovascular work utilizing my own body weight on speciality equipment. I recommend him very highly
Riad V. (MD)
Tldr: if you need someone who knows how to drive you hard to meet your physical goals and give you renewed strength, energy and flexibility, then Fabien is your man. Fabien is extremely knowledgeable about the mechanics of the body and how everything is connected. After suffering a back injury 3 years ago I struggled to get a workout routine together that didn’t make things worse and put me backwards, or that was so light I may as well not have bothered. Working with Fabien he builds me a tailored weekly schedule combining stretches, cardio and weights to strengthen the core, create flexibility and give me the great guns my wife adores (ok maybe that’s pushing it!). I can’t recommend him enough, but I will say if you want an easy ride to tick a box, then he is not for you as Fabien will push you to the limit (not beyond though) each time you meet.
