A PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR YOU

Most of my clients come to me:


THINKING THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM:

Going to the gym can be boring. Doing the same workouts every day can be tedious. We don’t do boring! There’s a reason… People stop wanting to do it. So, if you’ve felt burned out, lost motivation, or didn’t see results… you might have just been doing things that were dull and tedious. Don’t beat yourself up. It’s totally normal!

THINKING IT’S TOO LATE TO BE IN “THAT” KIND OF SHAPE:

This is a big myth I hear a lot. They think their fitness level “is what it is.” Since they’ve never seen anything better, they think this is as good as it gets. Nothing could be further from the truth. I’ll show you how you can be in the best shape of your life—within months!

THINKING THEY HAVE TO SPEND HOURS WORKING OUT:

It’s totally normal to think you have to spend hours working out to be in the best shape of your life… but that’s actually completely wrong. Overworking out can be a common cause of injury and burnout. Don’t worry… I’ll show you how to get amazing results with only 30 to 60 minutes a session.

    "Where to start? Whether you are super fit or not, whether your goal is to lose weight or gain muscle, whether you just would like to stay fit while having a good time. Fitsquad is the program to join! Fitsquad has a range of goals for different fitness levels. Raph is an amazing and genuine trainer that offers different classes every day. I've never been bored! He takes the time to get to know us, our strengths and weaknesses. This way he knows how to talk to us and how to push us to the next level. I was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer 3 years ago. After having joined Fitsquad 6 months ago, I feel fit, sexy, and proud of who I have become! Thanks, Raph for being such an incredible person and trainer. Thanks to all the Fitsquad team for being so awesome!"

    “This is a great program, I have thoroughly enjoyed the different workouts provided by Raphael. He likes to mix things up and always keeps you on your toes! Starting with very little technique or any sort of fitness level to being able to confidently do all workouts and push myself physically.

    "Fitsquad has been life-changing. I never thought of myself as an athletic person, but with Fitsquad I’ve come to realize that was just a state of mind. I've gone from viewing exercise as a chore to it becoming something I crave more of. Raph and the Fitsquad team rock, and the awesome people attending bootcamp make every session motivating and fun. I’m excited to continue my journey with Fitsquad and look forward to hitting my next level of goals."

    “I did online workouts with Rapha during the lockdown and I really loved it. I do CrossFit on a daily basis but his workouts were really cool because they were focused on core and to me, that's super important to be strong overall and avoid back problems. I really recommend his program as they're never boring and you feel motivated the entire time :)”

    "I've been working out with Raphael since 2015. I've always been an active person but had not been able to stick to any fitness routine for about 15 years - to my surprise the friendly fitsquad routines kept me coming back. I'm in the best shape I've been in for years and really notice the huge difference when getting out mountain biking and snow boarding!"
