Our philosophy

Yes, physical activity is good for your health. Being active reduces our risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. It also improves, through the secretion of endorphins, our mood in general and our overall health. However, we believe that physical activity is much more than a way to improve our health!

We are persuaded which physical activity has the power to make us feel more alive, put us in touch and create more satisfying and happier lives. This is why since 2010, we strive, with pride and pleasure, to transmit this positive force and to make the practice of physical activity accessible! 

Our mission

Contribute to the movement and health of people.
