Team

There's no such thing as a universally 'right' exercise.

There are only exercises that are right for a specific person, at a specific time. The Phil Lab team consists of movement professionals with both clinical and functional expertise.

The Founders

Two areas of expertise, one shared method.

Etienne Philippe and Leopoldo Amendola, founders of Phil Lab

Etienne Philippe

Co-founder · Physiotherapist & Osteopath

Etienne brings the clinical dimension to Phil Lab by developing its protocols, built on his experience as a physiotherapist and osteopath and on evidence-based reasoning. The programmes are designed to welcome people with different needs and levels of frailty. The initial assessment helps us get to know each person and identify, among the available protocols, the programme best suited to their needs.

Leopoldo Amendola

Co-founder · Exercise Professional with a degree in Exercise Science

Leopoldo handles the science of movement: programming, load progression, and the technical quality of each action. He transforms the principles of exercise science into concrete work on the gym floor.

The relationship is part of the result.
