WHAT IS PEAK FUNCTIONAL TRAINING ?

A Smarter Training System for Men Over 40

Peak Functional Training is a personalized coaching system built for men over 40 who are dealing with pain, stifness, or past injuries — and want to train hard without breaking their bodies in the process.

This isn't a trendy fitness program or cookie-cutter routine. It's a methodical, results-driven approach focused on helping you move better, feel stronger, and train without fear of getting hurt.

I focus on building:

  • Functional Strength that carries over to real life
  • Joint-Specific Mobility to reduce stifness and pain
  • Core Stability and Body Mechanics Optimization
  • Recovery and Regeneration to support long-term health

At the foundation is The Peak Method — a proven system that blends corrective exercise, mobility, and functional strength to rebuild your body from the ground up.

Whether you want to lift pain-free, get back to feeling strong again, or finally fix the issues holding you back — Peak Functional Training gives you a clear structured path to rebuild with confidence.

MEET YOUR COACH

I'm Mathieu Lesgourgues — former pro rugby player, movement specialist, and performance coach.

I grew up in Southwest France and played rugby professionally for over a decade before moving to Los Angeles at 28 to build a new version of myself. I transitioned from the field into coaching, specializing in rehab and strength training.

After years of competing and recovering from injuries, I created The Peak Method: a system that blends functional strength, mobility, and corrective work to help people move and train smarter.

I've used it with hundreds of clients — and on myself. Today, nearly eight years after retiring, I'm back playing rugby at 40 and feeling better than I did in my twenties.

If you're dealing with nagging injuries, joint pain, or just not feeling like yourself anymore, I can help you rebuild with purpose.

IS THIS YOU ?

If any of this sounds familiar, Peak Functional Training was built for you:

  • Persistent joint pain: knees, back, hips, ankles, or shoulders
  • Tightness or limited mobility
  • Workouts leave you more sore than strong
  • Old injuries that never fully healed
  • Frustrated with generic advice to "slow down"
  • Still motivated to train, but your body isn't cooperating

WHAT I DO

I help men over 40 fix pain, move better, and build lasting strength.

My approach includes:

  • Corrective Exercise to retrain movement patterns
  • Joint-Specific Mobility to restore motion
  • Functional Strength Training that supports real-life movement
  • Body Mechanics Optimization to prevent recurring pain
  • Recovery Integration to support tissue health and energy

All programs are tailored to you. Whether you want to lift again, improve daily movement, or eliminate chronic issues, I meet you where you are.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Every program starts with a movement assessment, then follows a customized training path based on your needs.

You get:

  • 1-on-1 Sessions (30 or 60 minutes, in-gym or in-home)
  • Personalized Corrective Plan to restore mobility and joint function
  • Functional Strength Workouts adapted to your ability
  • Mobility & Recovery Protocols for ongoing support
  • App Access (Optional) for extra routines and progress tracking
  • Supplements Strategy Support (Optional) to help with joint care and recovery

TWO WAYS TO TRAIN

  • 1-on-1 In-Person Coaching

Personalized training held at my private gym or in-home — focused on your pain points, movement issues, and strength goals. Includes assessment, custom program, mobility work, and recovery strategies.

  • Hybrid or Virtual Coaching

For those who can't train in person, I offer online coaching through the Peak Training App — including access to custom training plans, mobility routines, and recovery work.

A limited number of virtual 1-on-1 sessions are also available via video call, offering direct coaching and accountability from anywhere in the world.

WHY PEAK FUNCTIONAL TRAINING WORKS ?

Designed for men 40 and over, this method combines corrective exercise, joint-specific mobility, and functional strength training to address the root causes of pain and movement limitations — not just the symptoms.

Whether you’re dealing with back pain, old injuries, stiff joints, or frustration from workouts that leave you feeling worse, this system meets you where you are — and moves you forward. By retraining how your body moves, restoring proper body mechanics, and rebuilding strength safely, you’ll move better, feel better, and finally start to trust your body again.

This is performance built on durability — so you can lift, live, and move without pain.
