You train celebrities before important events. Has a muscular physique become a new criterion of beauty?
What I observe in all my clients, and not just those in the spotlight, is a change in mentality: they no longer seek a particular appearance, but aspire to feel strong, confident and well anchored in their body. Before an important event, my clients don’t necessarily ask for something extreme or different. They simply want to feel their best: full of energy, supported and confident. This often comes through consistency, not last minute changes. I think strength is more valued, but my goal has never been to achieve a specific aesthetic ideal. It’s about helping women feel powerful in their bodies. Physical transformations are a natural consequence.
Can you describe to us what this preparation usually involves before an important event?
We favor a balanced approach: full body work, muscle strengthening, mobility, deep core and recovery, so that the body feels supported and not exhausted. Especially before a performance, the goal is to feel good in your body, without stress or overwork. It’s about always moving consciously, ensuring that the body is activated and prioritizing energy. The important thing is more than wanting to change anything at the last minute, but rather how you want to feel when you walk into the room.
What image does a muscular and toned body convey?
I think that the important thing is not so much what it “transmits” externally, but rather what we feel internally. For many women, building strength provides a feeling of confidence, stability and acceptance of their body. We are seeing a change: strength is now synonymous with capacity and longevity, and no longer just aesthetics. And I think it’s a fantastic development!
