CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES
"I started training with Christiane when I was 10 months postpartum, and it’s been an incredible experience. Her warm-ups are always well thought out, getting my heart rate up and including stretches, so I never feel sore afterward. She has an amazing ability to know exactly when to push me harder and when to ease off, making every session challenging but manageable. Christiane understands my strengths and weaknesses, and she tailors her workouts accordingly. Whether I have an injury or a limitation, she knows how to adjust the exercises to ensure I’m still getting a great workout. Her inclusive attitude makes everyone feel welcome, and her positive outlook on life is contagious—she’s always a joy to be around. I highly recommend Christiane for anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and encouraging personal trainer.."

"Christiane a été une personne super marquante dans mon parcours sportif, tant à mes débuts au crossfit qu’à mon retour après mon post-partum. je garde un souvenir précieux de son énergie contagieuse et de sa capacité à mettre tout le monde à l’aise, peu importe leur niveau.
Elle explique chaque mouvement avec une précision exceptionnelle, s’assurant qu’on comprend et qu’on progresse en toute sécurité. Son enthousiasme et son attitude positive transforment chaque séance en un moment de plaisir.
c’est une personne qui connaît l’entraînement, le mouvement et le crossfit sur le bout des doigts et qui inspire à chaque session. Si vous cherchez une coach compétente et motivante, c’est elle qu’il vous faut! Vous allez bien rigoler en plus. ;)"

If you're looking for an exceptional coach, look no further! Christiane is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to understand you, your personality, how you like to be motivated, and what works best for you. She makes every workout fun, even the ones that are super challenging. You’ll always leave with a smile, no matter how tough it gets.
Christiane pushes you beyond what you think you're capable of and believes in you, even when you doubt yourself. I can't count how many times I thought I couldn't add more weight to the bar, and she'd give me that all-knowing coach's look and say, "Add some weight." Even if I didn’t believe in myself, I trusted her because I knew she wouldn’t push me unless she was sure I could do it—and she was never wrong!
She is, without a doubt, one of the best coaches I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her!

I was coached by Christiane for a few years in Crossfit classes and in private training. Christiane is full of energy, knowledgeable and overall, a fun coach. She cares about her clients and helps you reach your goals by breaking them down into realistic steps. I really appreciated how she adapted the training to the different levels of athletes in group classes, never leaving anyone behind. Thanks to Christiane I improved my running technique and worked on some weaknesses that were causing injuries.

Christiane est une professionnelle extrêmement compétente qui équilibre avec brio la rigueur technique et la légèreté dans sa façon de diriger les entraînements.
Je sors toujours de ses cours en me sentant mieux que lorsque j’y suis entrée. Mieux, non seulement physiquement, car je sais que l’entraînement est de haute qualité, mais aussi émotionnellement, grâce à son énergie contagieuse et motivante.
Elle aime clairement ce qu’elle fait, et cela se reflète dans chaque session. Elle est toujours attentive aux besoins individuels de chaque élève et se soucie réellement de leur apprentissage et de leur progression.
En 2024, j’ai participé aux CrossFit Games dans la catégorie Adaptive Women Vision. Cette année-là, la compétition s’est déroulée en trois étapes : deux rondes en ligne suivies d’une finale en présentiel. Jusqu’alors, ma catégorie n’avait participé qu’à la première étape, l’Open, en ligne.
Christiane a été responsable de planifier toute ma préparation. Elle a pris soin de chaque détail: de l’orientation alimentaire à l’organisation du calendrier des entraînements, en passant par ses conseils sur la manière de suivre les workouts au gym. D’ailleurs, elle a conçu un programme entièrement personnalisé pour répondre à mes besoins spécifiques, à travers plusieurs cours privés.
Pendant toute le CrossFit Games, Christiane n’a pas seulement été ma coach; elle a également joué le rôle de handler, étant mes yeux et ma guide pendant les épreuves. Son travail a été tout simplement impeccable, et j’ai remporté le titre de Fittest on Earth, terminant à la première place!
