Jean Paul Desrosiers

Jean Paul Desrosiers has been running, cycling, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and swimming throughout his life. He has completed marathons and triathlons, and was a semi-pro cyclist. But he's not just an enthusiast; he's also a certified personal trainer who shares his wealth of knowledge with clients using his "experience training" technique. Jean loves adventure. That's why Sherpa Fitness isn't just a gym. He likes to point outside and say, "Out there... that's the real gym. The real gym is infinite."
