For a high-performance and functional body

Coaching

I offer a customized and individual training program in my facility located in Bussigny. The space covers an area of 40m2, and it includes two changing rooms, two restrooms, and two showers (for both men and women). This location is very pleasant as it is bright with an unobstructed view of nature.

Based on your needs, I can also provide home visits or conduct sessions outdoors.

Physical Preparation:

Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced athlete, I accompany you and provide all the necessary resources to start or progress in the sport of your choice.

(Re)Shaping:
Muscle strengthening, weight loss, increased mobility, better posture, or just getting in shape!

The possibilities for improvement are vast, regardless of your level. Don't underestimate your body... Don't underestimate yourself!


If you have a question or a goal that doesn't fit what I offer above, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be happy to discuss it with you.

If your budget is more modest, or you want to have fun with a friend, I offer duo coaching with the person of your choice. An initial physical assessment will be conducted for each of you, and the sessions will be done as a duo and tailored to your individual levels!

How does follow-up work?

1

First contact and "state of play

Initially, it's important that we have a conversation to get to know each other (approximately one hour). This step is crucial because it will define the parameters of the program: what goal(s), by when, how often, etc. It will also allow me to tailor the initial physical assessment to ensure that the coaching begins on a solid and customized foundation.

This consultation is, of course, free and without any obligation.

Initial physical assessment

You've decided to place your trust in me, and I appreciate that! Now, it's time to assess your physical condition. We will spend approximately 1 to 1.5 hours conducting various tests. Here are some examples: resting heart rate and blood pressure, trunk flexibility, balance, 1 RM for deadlift (the heaviest weight you can lift for a single repetition), and endurance test on a treadmill or bike. These tests will be chosen and adapted based on your goal and your level of physical activity. Following these assessments, we'll identify your strengths to maintain and determine the key areas we'll focus on the most.

Coaching and intermediate test(s)

Throughout the program, your goal will be to push your limits while enjoying the process!

My main objective will be to tailor the training sessions to be as optimized as possible, both in terms of intensity and the choice of exercises.

Sports coaching is a team effort. It's by working in synergy (you and me) and with consistency that results will become evident.

We will conduct one or more interim tests to ensure progress and, most importantly, to confirm that the chosen methodology suits you and that we are on the right track.

4

End-of-program review

At the end of the program, we will conduct a review and compare it to the initial assessment to observe your progress. In the case of physical preparation, this final assessment may be replaced by a competition.

This is an evaluation conducted at the end of the initially planned program, but usually, coaching continues, and the process described above continues as well.

Method

My training sessions are designed to be functional. I will offer you varied, progressive and adapted sessions.


What is functional training?

Let's begin with the definition of the word "functional" (larousse.fr):

"Which is well adapted to its function, which is perfectly suited to its destination."

A functional object is thus optimized and prepared for a task or a place. In this sense, the goal of functional training is to have a body "adapted to its function," tailored to the objective we have set for ourselves (sports, profession, daily life). In other words, we "shape" and (re-)train the body to maximize its efficiency in one or more activities.

Training is primarily based on four pillars:

  • Functionality: analyzing needs (how your body works and moves in a given situation) and the usefulness of exercises;
  • Multidirectional work on all planes of movement: Sagittal (front to back), frontal (left to right), and transversal (rotation);
  • A holistic view of the body: the body is a whole composed of several interconnected parts working in synergy. Consideration of muscle chains and the myofascial network;
  • Motor preferences: each individual has their way of moving. 

In contrast, "classic" or "analytical" gym training is typically conducted in a gym:

  • Sitting or lying down;
  • On one or two planes at most, primarily sagittal;
  • Focus on one or two superficial muscles per session: biceps, triceps, chest...;
  • View of the body in separate, independent parts. 

Even though these two training models may seem entirely opposed, I believe they can be complementary, depending on the training goal, as in the case of rehabilitation, for instance. However, training functionally is, in the long run, more beneficial for our health, and the benefits will be much greater.

What is the purpose, and what are the main benefits of this?

  • Strengthening the musculature according to one's real needs: optimizing a task (sports, profession, daily life) to be more efficient and enduring;
  • Achieving a more harmonious body: internal functioning and aesthetic balance;
  • Coordination among the muscles: development of overall strength;
  • Enhanced body protection: excellent for injury prevention.

About us

My name is Loris Vallotton and I live in the Lausanne area. I qualified as a personal trainer in February 2021 (with an "Excellent" grade) and, at the same time, did a specialization in functional training. Both courses are offered by Sports Universitaires de Lausanne. I've been able to develop my theoretical and practical knowledge with highly competent and experienced trainers who go beyond popular beliefs by drawing on the latest scientific publications that don't hesitate to shake things up.


What is my main experience in sport?

I played basketball for 13 years, including 4 years in the National League B and 3 years in the National League A. I was lucky enough to play at the highest level in Switzerland and to experience unforgettable emotions. It's been a very formative experience for me and has served me enormously, both professionally and personally.

Why did you choose this profession?

Like more and more people today, I wanted to find a job that really suited me. It's a deep reflection whose purpose is as follows

  • Area in which I have been and am most comfortable and successful: sport
  • Area of particular interest to me: health
  • Subject I'm passionate about: the "biomachine" that is the human body and its ability to adapt in order to perform. 

The personal trainer profession quickly became the right direction and lifestyle for me.

I set myself two goals:

  • To help my clients reach the next level in their chosen sport, through adapted physical preparation, whatever their level;
  • Helping my customers to be in good health and have a body that performs well in all everyday situations.

Here are two anecdotes that contributed to my decision:

The first comes from a simple observation: I've noticed a serious lack of "intelligent" physical preparation in my sporting career. Most of the trainers I've come into contact with say that you have to do weight training to gain or lose weight. This is partly true, but in the end... Is a bench press really useful for the sport I do (and for most sports)? Will a shoulder press on a guided machine really help me build the strong shoulders and body I need to cope with the demands of my sport? In 90% of cases, the simple answer is no. These are two completely different objectives. And the solution? Incorporate functional exercises into your preparation, and make sure that the method you choose is based on the latest scientific research. When I started training as a functional trainer, I immediately saw the potential for improvement that this could bring to other athletes, both beginners and advanced.

The second: I was on vacation with friends who have small children (aged 3 and 6 at the time) and we were taking advantage of the garden and good weather to play with them. I was having a great time on the trampoline, when I realized that their father had been inside all along. I went to see him to motivate him to come with us, but he said he had to finish something. It was only later in the evening (and after a few glasses of wine) that he finally admitted to me that he didn't want to play ball and trampoline with his children, because he was "not fit enough" to do so, and that after 5 minutes he was out of breath and had a sore back (he wasn't yet 40 and had no specific chronic pathology). I thought it was a real shame not to be able to enjoy these important moments because I wasn't fit enough. So today I want to do everything I can to help people in this situation or to help them avoid this scenario.

Your coach :)
