ABOUT ME

Laurent Fournier – Personal Training, Strength Coaching & Health Optimization

Since 2016, Laurent Fournier has supported individuals, groups, and organizations in Paris in achieving sustainable improvements in fitness, strength, and overall well-being.
I am certified with the Active IQ Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training (QCF) from PT Academy / Active IQ (London, UK), and I’m registered with the European Register of Exercise Professionals (eREPS).

My mission is to deliver science-driven, highly personalized coaching that meets each client’s physical condition, goals, and constraints. Whether you’re aiming for weight loss, muscle development, injury recovery, postural improvement, or performance enhancement, I design programs that are safe, progressive, and efficient.

Coaching Philosophy

My approach balances three pillars:

1. Movement Quality & Strength

I focus on functional movement patterns, muscular balance, mobility, and progressive overload to:

improve daily comfort,
reduce or eliminate chronic pain,
develop strength and confidence,
support long-term physical autonomy.

2. Evidence-Based Nutrition

Trained by Precision Nutrition, I guide clients through nutritional strategies that support fat loss, energy levels, and healthy habits—without restrictive or unrealistic methods.

3. Sustainable Behavioral Change

Coaching extends beyond workouts. I help clients:

identify barriers to progress,
build actionable routines,
track improvements,
make long-lasting lifestyle changes.

My work is heavily inspired by internationally recognized experts such as Dr. Stuart McGill (spinal health), Mike Israetel (training science), and Nick Tumminello (movement evaluation).
