Passion, method, and science at the service of your needs.
Academic and Professional Background
I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Science and Physical Education from the University of Lausanne (2018–2021) and subsequently a Master’s degree in Movement and Sports Science, with a specialization in training and performance (2021–2023).
During my studies and in the years that followed, I gained a range of significant experiences. In 2022, I worked with the Federal Office of Sport in Magglingen/Macolin as a sports physiologist, analyzing performance tests for top Swiss athletes. During the 2022–2023 season, I completed an internship as a strength and conditioning coach with the youth division of the Hockey Club Ambrì-Piotta, while in the 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 seasons, I worked with the first team of the Hockey Club Lugano. Since 2023, I have also been working as an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the youth division of the same club.
Alongside my athletic training, I’ve worked as a fitness coach at several top-tier facilities, working with clients individually or in groups and leading workshops aimed at improving posture and the proper execution of fundamental exercises.
In 2023, I founded “Matteo Pellegrini | Health & Performance,” a project that combines my scientific expertise with my passion for movement to help every client achieve their goals. I provide personalized fitness training for people of all ages and fitness levels who aim to optimize their physical fitness and health, as well as athletic training for athletes who aspire to reach their full potential.
To enhance the quality of my services, I have been collaborating with iiiMotion, a company specializing in health check-ups and sports analysis—since founding my business. Together, we offer integrated programs designed to promote the overall development and well-being of my clients.
“I worked with Matteo on a one-to-one coaching programme focused on strength building and improving endurance. The sessions included bodyweight exercises, work with equipment and running, all adapted to my age. Matteo pays close attention to technique and posture, he is highly professional and extremely patient. He has a real ability to build your confidence in yourself and, above all, to keep you motivated.”

“My programme with Matteo is still ongoing and I’m really pleased with it. We started with a health check-up and now train together once or twice a week. He has helped me a great deal in building a better routine and staying in good shape even while travelling, putting together specific programmes for me. Highly recommended!”

Bruno
“I turned to Matteo for a one-to-one Self Training programme aimed at restoring an acceptable level of strength. What stood out was the professionalism with which the training plan was put together, along with the care shown towards the client: even though the coaching often took place remotely, his attention to how the exercises were performed was always impeccable. In a short time, thanks to specific advice on posture and technique, I noticed significant improvements, particularly in terms of strength. An experience I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a coach who is professional, straightforward and genuinely good company.”

Rocco
“I followed an intermittent hypoxia training programme with Matteo to improve endurance and energy levels, working on recovery, and within a few weeks I felt a clear improvement. It was a real discovery: I saw concrete benefits in terms of oxygen saturation, greater respiratory efficiency and a more stable sense of energy throughout the day. Matteo works with great care and attends to every detail. What I appreciated most is his ability to combine technical expertise with genuine attention to the person. You feel supported, listened to and encouraged to improve. An entirely positive experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to make a real step up in their everyday wellbeing.”
Rocco, 50
Alessia
“I had the pleasure of working with Matteo on a one-to-one coaching programme. He guided me attentively, helping me build training that was genuinely tailored to me, through exercises and circuits that look simple but are targeted and effective. Matteo is truly professional and puts you at ease from the very first session. The workouts with him are intense, but you always finish with a smile and the motivation to keep going. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to carve out some time for themselves and start a training programme designed around who they really are.”
Alessia, 27
Fabio
“Matteo works with me on a one-to-one basis, and what I value most about his approach is his ability to observe: before putting together tailored activities, he took the time to assess my posture and the aspects of my body that needed attention. I’m pleased and satisfied because he first corrected and strengthened the weaker areas and those with poor posture, and only then built on a body that was sound and ready to handle real effort. The sessions also take into account how my body is doing on any given day: if I mention pain or discomfort, he is always willing to work around it and focus on the issue. I feel I have far greater awareness of my body, and I’m able to correct certain bad habits straight away, even in everyday life.”
Fabio, 46
Filippo
“I did a one-to-one coaching programme with Matteo with the aim of improving my athletic condition. I improved in particular in my weaker areas, while also building better overall physical condition. Matteo was always attentive to technique, correcting me and explaining why certain movements were causing me pain. I really valued the training sessions, which helped me a great deal in reaching my sporting goals.”
Filippo, 13
Matteo
“Being naturally on the lighter side, what I wanted from one-to-one coaching was to develop my athleticism and build muscle. Thanks to consistent work, I’ve seen improvements in strength, solidity and the overall stability of my body. There is always close attention to technique and posture, with growing confidence in how I perform the movements and greater consistency in them. I always feel at ease with Matteo: I’m not naturally a consistent person, but with him I’ve learned to be disciplined and genuinely enthusiastic about turning up to the sessions. His professionalism and his ability to explain what we were training and why made all the difference, and gave me real motivation.”
Matteo, 27
Luca C
“I contacted Matteo to put together training sessions I could follow remotely and on my own. Despite the distance, he provided explanatory videos in which he personally demonstrated how to perform the exercises set out in the training plan. Every exercise had its own tutorial and description, making everything clear and easy to replicate. His availability for calls and video calls was very constructive, and his organisation highly effective.”
Luca, 27
Angel L
“I trusted Matteo with my summer off-season conditioning for ice hockey before heading to the United States to continue my career, and I was extremely satisfied with the results. My goal was to build muscular strength along with power and speed, and on the ice I was a different player, stronger and faster, even on American soil. Matteo is a serious coach and always available, both for online coaching and in person, and most importantly he builds programmes that are genuinely tailored to the athlete. Highly recommended!”
Angel, 22
Marcel M
“I rely on Matteo for off-season athletic preparation for LNA Inline Skater Hockey. I was coming off a series of injuries built up over previous years. Thanks to the work with Matteo, during the season I felt physically unrestricted for the first time, discovering new levels of performance. The improvements were clear to coaches and selectors as well. The result was the Swiss Champion title with my club and the European Champion title with the Swiss national team. For me it was essential to work with someone with a solid, certified background. What I appreciate most is the attention to detail and the real passion Matteo brings to his work and to the people he trains. For the first time I felt my development was being taken as seriously as that of a professional athlete.”
Marcel, 38
Noah S
“We got in touch with Matteo because Noah wanted to improve his athletic performance. From an initial informal meeting, where he was extremely courteous, Noah really appreciated his approach and decided to get started. With one coaching session a week with Matteo and a plan to follow independently at home, put together around Noah’s specific needs, we saw results right away; we are still working with him and the results continue to be clear. The way he works with young people is very motivating and always makes Noah feel comfortable, encouraging him to give his best. We are very glad to have started this journey with a professional who genuinely loves what he does.”
