Who Are We?StephSteph is the 'energiser bunny', and the passion behind Chamonix Gym & Be Pure Fit.
Personal Trainer & Nutrition Diploma Sports Therapist & Remedial Massage Postural / Biomechanics Analysis 'Anatomical' Yoga Teacher Triathlon Training Coach Fully certified in France & UK With a passion for playing in the mountains and being fit & active in general, Steph is fascinated by the human body, athletic performance, and by the relationships between exercise, health, well being, food, and performance. Steph has been living in the French Alps for 15 years, and it's fair to say there aren't many Alpine sports she doesn't enjoy! An all-mountain 'athlete', keen trail runner, cyclist, skier, climber, Steph loves pretty much anything involving a physical challenge ... as well as chocolate, red wine and yoga! Qualified in several inter-related sport and physical therapy disciplines, Steph blends the latest personal training methods, nutrition info, and sports therapy practises, with a harmonious mix of 'anatomical' yoga, massage and healthy eating. Equally comfortable putting you through your paces lifting man-sized weights as running a restorative yoga class, her most geeky side comes out when it comes to preventing / treating injuries, and muscle imbalances. Steph's Classes | Personal Training | Ask Steph a question NeilNeil is a very talented (and very busy!) sports physiotherapist, who runs The Chamonix Clinic and has a reputation as a miracle worker in Chamonix.

When he’s not fixing people, Neil runs, bikes, and is Chamonix’s reigning guitar hero champion.
