Ronan — Forgeway Coach
Holistic Coaching · Tokyo

Take back control of your health
and forge the body
you'll be proud of.

Your nutrition, training and lifestyle coach. In Tokyo.

I forge you so you can forge
your own path.

Three pillars.
One complete system.

Your body is a global system — each pillar is essential and reinforces the others. You can't build a house without solid foundations.

01
Nutrition

No diets, no forbidden foods. I teach you to understand what you eat and why — so you can manage your nutrition on your own, for life.

02
Training

A program built around you. I teach you the techniques, the progression and the logic behind every session — so you know exactly what to do, with or without me, and keep pushing your own limits.

03
Lifestyle

Sleep, stress, physical and mental recovery — everything that happens outside the gym and off your plate has a real impact. We work on your health as a whole system.

Forgeway Coaching

Physical activity isn't good for your health.
It's as essential as breathing.

Did you know?

Physical inactivity and poor nutrition contribute to 6 of the world's 8 leading causes of death.

11 million deaths per year
linked to diet
×2 the risk of premature death
with a sedentary lifestyle
60–85% of the world's population
is sedentary

Which side of these statistics do you want to be on?

It's never too late to change.

Forged here. Built for life.

Want to perform — or keep performing — at the top of your professional game?
You need a body that can keep up with your ambitions.

Your body and your health are assets you can't afford to ignore.

Energy and recovery

A fit body recovers faster and handles fatigue and stress more effectively.

Mental clarity

Less mental fog, sharper thinking, better analysis and memory — better decisions.

Stress resilience

Manage pressure through your body, not just your mind.

Confidence and impact

Good health shows. It inspires. It gives you the confidence to move forward.

The approach
What makes Forgeway different

Not just another coach.
A unique vision.

Whatever your goal — losing fat, building muscle or improving athletic performance — without solid foundations in health and lifestyle, nothing you build will last.

Truly listening

Every program starts with a thorough health questionnaire. Nothing is left to chance — your history, your lifestyle, your constraints. I start from where you are, not from a standard template.

Understanding, not just executing

I make it a point to explain the why behind every decision — nutrition, training, recovery. You don't follow instructions blindly. You understand — and that's what makes the difference over time, in your health, your energy and your daily performance.

A partner, not a provider

Choosing me isn't just choosing a coach. It's choosing someone who is fully invested alongside you. Your success is my success. This is a genuine team effort.

Nothing left to chance

Every session, every plan, every adjustment is considered and justified. I don't do approximations — because your health doesn't deserve guesswork.

Expatriate life

I've been an expat in Tokyo for over 10 years, which puts me in a uniquely strong position to understand what you go through every day — and to offer you concrete, grounded solutions.

The format

In-person or online —
what's the difference?

Online coaching is a genuine solution for some profiles: people who travel frequently, go on extended assignments, or don't have a coach nearby. It's also a strong format for those who already have experience and solid movement fundamentals.

In-person coaching, however, offers a level of attention and interaction that remote coaching cannot fully replicate.

Real-time correction

Nothing replaces the eye of a coach at your side. I teach you correct movement execution and correct technical errors quickly — before they become hard-to-break habits, or worse, lead to injury.

Morpho-anatomical assessment

Every body is different. I assess your mobility, proportions, natural range of motion and movement patterns to build a program genuinely adapted to your morphology — not to an average profile.

In-the-moment motivation

When the effort gets hard, I'm there to help you maintain your commitment and give your best.

Answers when questions arise

During the session, every question you have gets an immediate answer.

On-the-ground support

I can adapt a session on the spot based on how you're feeling that day, run a fitness assessment, or accompany you during a competition — situations that remote coaching generally can't offer.

An online coaching offer is currently in development — for expats outside Tokyo or frequent travelers.

The journey

Month by month.
Toward solid foundations.

3 months minimum — the time it takes to build real, lasting habits.

Month 01
Foundations

Discovery phase — we learn about each other. I teach you the fundamentals of training, nutrition and lifestyle. I build your plans with you so you understand every decision. These are the first steps toward lasting change.

Month 02
Application

You settle into your new habits, acquire the fundamentals and start putting them into practice on your own. First progress and results begin to show.

Month 03
Consolidation

You now manage your daily life with the right habits: regular physical activity, nutrition, healthy lifestyle. We review your progress together. If you need a little more time to consolidate your foundations, an additional month is available — so you're never left without support and don't have to restart a full program.

About

Ronan.
Holistic coach · Tokyo.

A path shaped by setbacks and rebuildings. An unshakeable conviction. A coaching approach that follows directly from it.

Ronan — Forgeway Coach Tokyo
My story

A path far from
straight.

My name is Ronan, holistic coach based in Tokyo.
Sport has always been part of my life — not out of obligation, but out of passion and deep conviction. Early on, I understood that taking care of my health through physical activity, nutrition and lifestyle wasn't optional. It was a lifelong investment.

My path hasn't been a straight line. Trained as a gendarme, a service injury forced me to reinvent myself. I traveled, found my way, and ended up in Tokyo. It was here that it clicked: turn my passion into a reality. In 2019, I earned my personal trainer diploma in Montreal.

The road to launching Forgeway hasn't been simple. First, Covid in early 2020, personal trials, a full family life — then a stroke, from which it took me four years to fully recover. I genuinely started from scratch. It was long and hard, and I went through many phases — but today, at 39, I've climbed back up and I'm back at my best. This journey has taught me an enormous amount about myself, and about the struggles anyone can face.

Beyond my coaching skills, I've developed a deep capacity for understanding people. I don't judge — I analyze, and I do my best to help each person reach their goals, knowing full well that the path is never without setbacks. And when that happens, you can count on me to help you get back up.

I intend to put all of this to work for you. Losing weight, building muscle, getting back in shape, reaching a sports goal — it may seem small to some, but for others, it can literally change their life. And I believe that deeply.

Your coach, Ronan.

Ronan's physical transformation — 2016, 2018, 2024

These trials forged me — and it's no coincidence that my business is called Forgeway. The forge means heat, pressure, resistance, long and patient work — it is by forging that one becomes a blacksmith. From raw metal, something solid and unique is born. That is exactly what I offer each of you: become your own blacksmith.

My philosophy

Solid foundations,
not dependency.

At Forgeway, you're not just another client. You're someone who decided to take action and take control — and I deeply respect that.

Real transformation comes from understanding, not blind compliance. I don't just give you a plan to follow — I explain the why and the how so you can forge yourself.

Why Forgeway

What truly
sets me apart.

Long-term education
I don't just coach you — I educate you. You understand what you're doing and why. That changes everything.
Honesty above all
If I don't think I can help you, I'll tell you directly. No unrealistic promises, no questionable methods. Just science applied to your specific case.
Bilingualism
French and English — you're coached in the language you think and feel in, in a foreign country.
In-person coaching
I work around your schedule — gym, home, outdoors. The technical quality of an in-person session cannot be replicated.
Limited client roster
I deliberately limit the number of people I coach, to guarantee full availability and complete attention to each person.
Professional network
Physiotherapist, osteopath, psychologist — if your situation calls for it, I'll refer you to trusted healthcare professionals in Tokyo.

Training sessions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you
want to know.

No jargon, no sales pitch. Just direct answers about what I offer and how it works.

Coaching

Our first meeting is free and with no commitment. We get to know each other, I understand your goals and your situation, and you leave with a clear picture of what we could do together. At the end of that meeting, you're completely free to decide whether you want to move forward.

Because it's the minimum time needed to build real habits, get results, and start forging your autonomy. Session-by-session or month-to-month offers encourage inconsistency and compromise results. I'd rather be honest about that than sell you something that doesn't work.

That's precisely the goal: to give you solid foundations for your daily life. By the end of the program, you know how to train correctly, eat intelligently and take care of your lifestyle — without anyone holding your hand.

If you need a little more time to consolidate what you've learned, an additional month (¥66,000) is available — rather than restarting a full program. And if you'd simply like to keep a connection, a maintenance formula at ¥16,000/month is there for that. Both are entirely optional.

Sessions are in-person — that's where coaching makes its full impact. I see how you move, I correct immediately, I adapt every session to how you're feeling that day. I work around your schedule: gym, home, outdoors.

Video sessions are possible occasionally if your situation calls for it. The Programs page details the concrete advantages of in-person coaching — and what remote support cannot fully replicate.

Absolutely. The program is built to complement your existing activities — running, martial arts, tennis, cycling… The goal is to improve your overall performance and fitness, not to upend everything.

Profile & level

Yes, all levels are welcome — complete beginners, intermediate, advanced, and more complex cases with physical limitations or injury histories. The program is built specifically for you, not from a standard template.

Forgeway is designed precisely for people with demanding schedules. The goal isn't to have you spend hours in the gym — it's to build an efficient program adapted to your reality. Quality over quantity.

The goal isn't to turn you into a bodybuilder — unless that's what you want. My role is to work toward YOUR goals: fat loss, getting back in shape, controlled muscle gain, athletic performance. The program is built around what you want to achieve.

I recommend consulting your doctor beforehand. My initial health questionnaire covers your medical history and physical condition in detail. If needed, I can refer you to trusted healthcare professionals — physiotherapist, osteopath, psychologist.

No specific equipment is required. I adapt to what you have — gym, home, or outdoors. The program is designed to work in your real environment. If needed or if you wish, I can also advise you on equipment.

Pricing & practicalities

French or English, your choice. You're coached in the language you think and feel in — a real advantage in Tokyo.

I'll tell you honestly, during the very first consultation. There's no commercial pressure on my end. If your situation calls for a different type of support, I'll point you toward the right person.

Cancellation and rescheduling terms are clearly defined in the contract, which you receive before committing to anything. In short: giving advance notice is always possible. The goal is to protect your progress, not to penalize you.

I work throughout Tokyo and surrounding areas. Whether you're in the center or the outskirts, we'll find an arrangement — gym, home, outdoors. During the first consultation, we'll define together the format that works best for you.
