Dominique Paris is born in Orleans, France. He starts practicing sports at a very young age: skiing at 5, kayaking at 8, rock climbing, gymnastics...

Outdoor sports and training are a lifestyle for his family and the practice is at a very high level: canoeing, skiing, moutain climbers.

Kayaking became his main sport and he trained and competed at the elite level (National Team and international events), in Slalom and Downriver.

With a Master's degree in Physical Education, he taught in high school a few years near Paris, then trained students for sports and fitness diplomas and certifications at the Sport Minister.

Besides, he developped a high profile clientele in Paris, looking for his expertise in fitness and physical conditioning: he became the private trainer of the French star Emmanuelle Seigner, Roman Polanski, Josiane Balasko, Romane Bohringer and Sigourney Weaver while she was working on a movie in Paris.

Then he decided to fly to Los Angeles. After a few months of struggles, he started to work with Oscar De La Hoya, implementing his powerful cardiovascular conditioning method. Oscar won with an impressive maner the mega fight against Julio Cesar Chavez in Las Vegas. As a trainer of a mega star in boxing, Dominique Paris got many interviews in newspapers, magazines, radios and TVs in France.

After several fights with the Golden Boy, he moved back to France in 2002 and published a first book about his training methods for boxers: http:www.compusport.net

In 2007, he got the "Green Card": with his wife and their two young daughters he then decided to move the family to the United States and set in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia.
