Knowledge is the precursor to transformation. Explore our library of articles covering biomechanics, nutrition, and lifestyle optimization specifically for the Mauritius environment.
At Fitness Grand Baie, we believe that an educated client is a successful client. The fitness industry is filled with misinformation, quick fixes, and "bro-science" that often leads to injury or stagnation. My goal as your personal trainer is not just to tell you what to do, but to explain why we are doing it.
This journal serves as a resource for those who want to deepen their understanding of their own bodies. We discuss everything from the molecular mechanisms of hypertrophy to the practicalities of eating healthy in Grand Baie. We strip away the noise and focus on evidence-based principles that deliver long-term results.

Read ArticleThe internet has democratized information, but it has also created a flood of conflicting advice. One day coffee is good for you; the next day it is bad. One influencer swears by keto; another swears by veganism. This confusion leads to "paralysis by analysis," where people do nothing because they fear doing the wrong thing.
Our approach at Fitness Grand Baie is agnostic. We do not subscribe to fads. We look at human physiology, which hasn't changed in thousands of years. Whether your goal is aesthetic (looking good on the beach at Pereybere) or functional (playing golf at Mont Choisy without back pain), the fundamental principles of progressive overload and caloric balance remain the same.
Many of the articles above are inspired by questions from my clients during our One on One sessions. If you have a specific topic you would like covered, please do not hesitate to reach out via the contact page. This journal is a living document designed to serve the Grand Baie community.
