Co-founder and Head Coach
Ursula "Coach U"
After completing a graduate degree in applied statistics (data science), Ursula pursued most of her career in the United States. With extensive experience in major groups such as Publicis and McKinsey in New York, Ursula also brought her expertise to a startup in the field of nutrition in San Francisco until she decided to return to France in 2017 with her husband and 4-year-old twins.
The family expanded in 2018 with the arrival of their third child, and it was then that Ursula realized the importance of physical wellness when life becomes constrained by the lack of time having to cope with three young children, a social life and a demanding career simultaneously.
A former competitive triathlete, Ursula launched her career in sports and obtained her French National Certification (BPJEPS) in January 2024 at the UCPA National Training Center. During this training, Ursula introduced new training concepts focused on weight loss and also embarked on a Pilates certification. A former international business leader and accomplished mother, Ursula has the life experience and perspective she now fully desires to put at the service of those who wish to find optimal physical well-being in their daily lives, however demanding their schedules may be. The themes of nutrition, sleep, and time management are key components that Ursula fully integrates into the design of her coaching programs.

He competes in numerous distances (Sprint, Olympic, IronMan 70.3) and represented France in the Elite Amateur category at the 2013 London World Championships. A seasoned runner, Antoine has always strived to balance his career, family life, and athletic performance, having completed numerous sub-3-hour marathons and participated in multiple ultra trail races, including the "Diagonale des Fous" on the Reunion Island, where he finished in the top third of finishers in 2022 after 46 hours of uninterrupted running.
Antoine supports Ursula in all operational aspects of the studio’s management and also uses his knowledge high intensity sports training with demanding time constraints (business travel, family responsibilities, etc.) to create customized coaching programs.
