  • As a 48 year old runner I felt I had plateaued and my best days were in the past. Gilles and O2 Max have shown me how inefficient my breathing is while running, so I am so excited to get training and become a better runner.

  • Gilles is a Great Trainer. He helped prepare me for a world record mountaineering expedition to the top of the worlds tallest free standing mountain. That’s no easy feat. I have 1 lung and the remaining is only about 3/4 active due to an incurable scar tissue disease known as pulmonary fibrosis. As I worked with Gilles I learned that his life is that of great challenges which he uses to treat his clients with the utmost respect, compassion, understanding, and no “ same approach for each person”. As I worked with him my relationship grew from that of a “ patient” to a friend. Highly recommend.

  • I was a smoker for 25 years, and training with Gilles has given me my stamina back. I have more energy, more focused and all around feel better. If you’re struggling with breathing issues, or any type of health issue, Gilles will be supportive and guide you through any process you need. He truly cares about his clients.
