A personal, individualized and deeply attentive approach

DeGonia is founded on the belief that physical activity should be inclusive, a source of joy, and tailored to each individual.

Originally from the Chicago area and now based in Rouen France, I bring an energetic and dynamic coaching style, shaped by my training in recreational therapy—a profession that aims to use movement, leisure activities, and adapted exercise to improve the physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being of older adults and people with disabilities.

I then completed additional professional training in France, and am now an “éducateur sportif” working with the general public as well as persons with disabilites. I now offer tailored fitness, mobility, cardio, and strength training sessions for individuals, groups, companies, and organizations.

Whether I’m working with seniors in their homes, supporting people with disabilities, or leading energetic sessions at bachelorette parties, birthdays, or holiday celebrations, my approach is always encouraging, flexible, and goal-oriented. I adapt to each person’s individual level, providing positivity, support, and plenty of fun.
