About Rafael Claveau

​

Originally from the French Alps, I began my career as a personal trainer in 2014 one of Geneva's premier fitness facilities before relocating to North Vancouver in 2018.

A lifelong athlete, movement has always been at the center of my life. From stand-up paddleboarding, kitesurfing, and snowboarding to more than fifteen years of competitive American football in France's top division and New Zealand, sport has shaped my discipline, resilience, and passion for performance.

Over the years, I have combined this athletic background with extensive education from some of the world's leading fitness and performance organizations. Through internationally recognized certifications and continuous professional development, I have developed a coaching approach that blends strength, mobility, balance, movement quality, and long-term health.

Today, I help adults over 40, active professionals, recreational athletes, and beginners move better, feel stronger, and live with greater confidence.

 

Why Work With Me?

​

My philosophy is simple: fitness should improve your life, not take it over.

When we work together, you can expect:

​

• Personalized coaching tailored to your unique needs and goals.

• A focus on movement quality, mobility, balance, and long-term physical health.

• Practical education to help you become more confident and independent in your training.
