Hello
My name is Raimundo Baeza. I am a strength and conditioning coach, a graduate in Sports Sciences (STAPS, France), and a movement coach.
My Story
My academic background allows me to understand the body through physiology, biomechanics, and training science.
But my way of training is not shaped by studies alone — it comes from a long, intense, and lived relationship with the body and movement.
I have trained from a very young age and spent more than a decade exploring different ways to train, perform, and recover. I began studying sports science for a very specific reason: I wanted to understand my own body, improve my performance, manage recurring pain, and train better — not just harder.
Over time, that interest became a professional vocation.
For more than eight years, I have taught calisthenics and movement, guiding very different people through real physical learning processes. Over time, I understood that training well does not always mean training more, but rather learning how to observe, adjust, and progress intelligently.
I am also a massage therapist, specialized in sports massage and Thai massage.
Manual work is part of my approach as a complement to training, especially useful for supporting recovery, regulating tension, and helping people reconnect with their bodies.
This interest in the body, movement, and health did not appear out of nowhere.
Some years ago, during a period of high personal and professional intensity, I made an important decision: to change my life completely.
For more than ten years, I worked in professional environments with high mental demands, constant decision-making, pressure for results, and responsibility over projects — demanding contexts with little margin for error and little space for self-care.
About five years ago, I left my home country, Chile, and moved to La Réunion (France) with the goal of deepening my education and fully dedicating myself to what is now my professional project: working with people around training, movement, and health.
I currently live in Amsterdam, where I continue developing this project and facing new personal and professional challenges, integrating everything I have learned across different life and work contexts.
That change was not only geographical. It was a conscious decision to align the way I live, train, and work.
That experience — having lived under mental pressure, having trained intensely for years, and having chosen to change — is what shapes the way I work with people today.
Now, close to 40 years old, my approach is deeply marked by experience: training extensively, living in high-intensity contexts, and learning to listen to the body.
I am passionate about experimenting, studying, reflecting, and continuing to learn. That is why I keep training, questioning, and refining my work.
I am especially passionate about teaching. I work with people who don’t just want to train, but also want to understand what they are doing, learn how to move better, and develop autonomy.
I am not interested in counting repetitions without context; I am interested in transmitting knowledge, criteria, and body awareness.
A central part of my work is presence and attention.
When I train someone, I am fully there: observing, listening, and accompanying. The focus is on the person, their body, and what they need that day.
Over time, I understood that training well is not only about programming or correcting, but also about knowing how to listen. Sometimes training is physical; other times, it means helping organize workload, stress, or the life moment a person is going through.
I work in Spanish, English, and French, which allows me to support people from different cultural backgrounds with the same precision and closeness.
Today, all of this experience defines the way I train and accompany others: integrating performance, self-care, and training to perform better in life — not only in the gym.
How I Work
I don’t train isolated bodies. I train people.
​
1. Assess before loading
Observe how you move, how you control your body, and how you respond to training.
2. Progress without paying physical “bills”
Capacity is built with criteria, not with haste.
3. Transfer to daily life
Train to live better outside the gym.
