About me

I’m Didier — ISSA-certified personal trainer and running coach, runner, creator, writer and small‑business owner. Before I ever laced up for long miles on the Maine roads I now call home, I spent years performing as a professional dancer. That world shaped everything about how I move and how I coach. Dance gave me discipline, body awareness, musicality, and the stubborn commitment to show up even when the work gets messy. It also taught me how to rebuild, adapt, and listen — lessons that have carried me through every mile since.

Today, I blend that history with my work as a personal trainer and running coach. My approach is rooted in strength, consistency, and resilience — the same qualities that defined my life on stage and now define my life on the run.

Whether you’re gearing up for your first 5K or chasing a breakthrough PR, my goal is simple: help you build a running journey that feels strong, intentional, and unmistakably yours.

Let’s run with purpose. Let’s build something real.

Train with Intention

Train with intention. Move with purpose.
Every step should take you closer to the runner you’re choosing to become.
