Studio Locomotion

In a pared-down former train factory, three passionate people — Julie Bernard, Yan Caron and Christian Pilon — have brought together their different experiences from the fashion, finance and industrial design fields, to create an affordable athletic workout system in a unique setting.

Their shared passion, along with the desire to become entrepreneurs, brought about Studio Locomotion in 2007. Christian was already working on the Technopôle Angus site and caught wind of a business opportunity. Julie and Yan had always dreamed of creating a company focused on sports, so they decided to take the leap.

Today, the trio are dedicated to guiding ordinary people to better physical and mental health by training the same way as top athletes. "We always try to encourage them on to more advanced, more athletic techniques, while respecting their individual limits," says Julie.
