Wolfgang Moiroux

To live your greatest life in a body that you absolutely love; that’s who Wolfgang stives to be. It all started in 2013 when he stumbled upon bodybuilding while watching movies and documentaries featuring renowned champions like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Phil Heath, Kai Greene, and Ben Pakulski. The discipline required to attain a world-class physique and the mentality of a champion fascinated him. This sparked a new passion and goal within Wolfgang. Over the course of the next 10+ years and a move to Canada, he dedicated himself to expanding his knowledge of muscle building and pushing the body to achieve greatness. Then, driven by his desire to push himself further, he decided to become a personal trainer with the YMCA. His area of expertise lies in hypertrophy training as a coach, and he loves to assist individuals in reaching their fitness goals. He firmly believes that our bodies naturally strive to be lean, healthy, and muscular, regardless of our backgrounds.

Wolfgang is a certified health coach specialized in functional therapeutic diets and is currently working on functional breathing through BreathHoldWork practice and hormone optimization through lifestyle and training studies.
