My story:

My name is Johan, I am 43 years old. I have a body shop in Geneva and I live in Haute Savoie.

I've been involved in sports since I was a child. Originally from Morzine (74), I have done skiing, field hockey, soccer and tennis. I am a certified ski instructor at the ESF Avoriaz.

I have been running since I was a teenager: Duathlon and triathlon are the two disciplines I started with.

In 2003, I did my first marathon, the one in New York (which I did 3 times), then I went on to Milan, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Berlin (my best time was 2h44m48s).

In 2014, I start trail running but I need more distance so in 2016 I register to my first Ultra (Ultra trail du beaujolais 102 kms) and I chain the ultras with notably the UTMB in 2021, UTMJ 2021 that I win, Ultra 01 2022 (2nd) and since I always want more.

Why I chose Naturalpes :

My meeting with Naturalpes was quite funny! On a freeway service area, I met Florian, we chatted, we exchanged our numbers and we kept in touch.

I called her because I needed advice on natural products for before and after running, as I have Achilles tendon problems.

I then order oil and balm.

Naturalpes set up a team of athletes, Florian talked about me and since then I have a partnership with them and I am delighted with our collaboration!

My story:

My name is Sylvain, I'm 37 and I'm a financial director in Geneva. I was born in Evian-Les-Bains in Haute-Savoie and have always lived in Haute-Savoie except for 2 years when I lived in the Philippines.

I practised athletics, judo and table tennis when I was young, as well as free-fighting during my university studies in Lausanne. But it was in running that I found my inner peace. While I was planning to take part in my first trail race in 2018, my expatriation to the Philippines for professional reasons forced me to reconsider my plans.

So, when I returned to Haute-Savoie, I took up running more seriously, and trail running in particular, with the aim of finding out where my limits were. So I started trail running in 2021 with the 95km Ultra 01 (shorter wouldn't have been fun) and since then I've been sticking to formats between 100km and 130km with the aim of progressing. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking of maybe doing 160km one day...

Why I chose Naturalpes :

I couldn't stand having aches and pains and not being able to walk or sit down after my errands!

Following Johan Fernandez on social networks and being both in Haute-Savoie, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask his advice and see if he had any tips. That's when he recommended the sport balm I tried during the Lavaredo 120km. And what a miracle!

Virtually no muscle pain during and after the race! So I tried it and definitely adopted the balm. Today I'm proud to be able to share my experience with other athletes.

My story:

I started MTB at 15 years old after a few years of tennis.

In fact, my friends and I have always been riding bikes, and when we were 5 or 6 years old we used to pile up pallets and jump as far as we could in my street. It never really left me, it came back naturally.

During my law and business studies, I rode when I could and some partners (kisses to them) helped me to equip myself (frame, suspension, protections, ...) and I was very happy to be able to combine studies and cycling in this way.

When I graduated, I went to New Zealand for 5 months, I rode and shot every day, and the brands liked it a lot! New partners arrived, they offered me some money, and I was able to start riding every day and live from cycling! Since then I'm enjoying it !

Why I chose Naturalpes :

I chose Naturalpes because they pay great! No seriously, before the products, it is their approach and vision of things that I like. They control the whole chain of production of the products, are concerned and conscious of the world in which we live.

It gives healthy, viable and for my case rather effective products! The CBD oil helps me to relieve my body during intense wrinkle week. And in case of a fall, the balm helps me to recover faster, I am still surprised!

My story:

Hi, this is Gianni. At the age of 16, I started mountain biking and discovered a new world and an exciting community with a mindset and values that I share and that drives me.

I then moved to Switzerland at the age of 19, without really knowing where I would end up. I had only one goal: To make new experiences to continue to progress and improve my mountain biking. 

At that time I was doing downhill racing but life's ups and downs, especially economic ones, prevented me from continuing this discipline and I decided to concentrate on freeriding in order to be really free to live my passion 100%.

My sporting life was then mixed with marketing and thanks to one of my sponsors, I was able to take a new step in my career. Today I am Marketing and Sales Manager for a bike distribution brand and this allows me to transmit my passion and my vision to as many people as possible.

Why I chose Naturalpes :

From the first contact, I had a great feeling with the company, a young, super motivated and dynamic team, with the same vision as me in the business. The products are excellent and the environment at Naturalpes is very interesting and fun, you never get bored for a second. So who wouldn't want to work with friends?

My story:

I started Capoeira at the age of 9. I loved the sport right away, because it has so many sides: martial arts, dance, rhythm, flexibility, etc. Every Wednesday morning I was excited, because in the afternoon there was training. Every Wednesday morning, I was excited, because in the afternoon, there was training. Very quickly, this sport became my priority, and it paid off! At the beginning of 2023, I lifted my European Category A vice-champion title. A great source of pride for me, and a great deal of emotion!

But to get to this point, a lot of training, falls, injuries... The hardest part was managing my studies and training. Now that I'm no longer a student, the difficulty lies in managing my work, my training, my girlfriend and my dog too.

Why I chose Naturalpes :

NaturalpesI experienced it during a period of crisis. I was doing training after training after long days at work and found myself 2 weeks before the European Games with a foot injury. I quickly looked for a solution and came across Naturalpes. The sales staff gave me excellent advice and support. Well, I didn't win first place, but with a second-place finish, it's fair to say that the products were effective. Naturalpes were effective.

My story:

I started weight training 7 years ago.

When I was 15 years old, working in the fields one summer, I was able to save up and pay for my first fitness membership.

I then validated 3 diplomas of sports coach, I coached in fitness room and then I launched into the bodybuilding competitions where I won the 2nd Swiss title in junior bikini in 2019.

After that, I opened my online and face-to-face sports/nutrition/health coaching business in 2020.

On a daily basis I have a very steady training rhythm, in one week I do :

4-5 weight training sessions, 2-3x high intensity cardio, 1-2 boxing sessions as well as 1-2 expeditions (cave exploration/mining/hiking/mountain climbing/urbex)

Why I chose Naturalpes :

In this context of high level sports activity, nutrition, sleep and quality supplements for recovery are essential.

I regularly consume CBD Gold 20% oil, CBD Wellness Sport Balm as well as CBD herbal teas Naturalpes.

My story:

Since I was young I have been working day and night with one goal in mind: the MotoGP World Championship.

I have been on most of the European circuits, won races in different countries, and challenged adults since I was 13 years old.

2022 was my first year in the antechamber of the world championship.

My team and I managed to finish almost every race in the top 10 and we gained a lot of experience.

Next year, I will again participate in the European Championship as the only Swiss driver with the FAU55 Tey Racing team, with the aim of fighting at the front of the field at every grand prix and thus aiming for the world stage.

Why I chose Naturalpes :

I was looking for a natural alternative to relieve my muscle pain after my runs. That's when I came across Naturalpes and they immediately suggested I try their CBD Wellness 20% oil.

After the first use, I realized that I had found a natural and effective way to relieve myself after physical effort. With the balm as a supplement, I'm ready to hit the track again in no time!

My story:

Since I was young, I have always been rocked by sports and mountains. Running, cycling, I have been practicing since I was 5 years old. One day, I needed a new challenge. Triathlon... I started at the age of 16.

First race, first victory. In my head it was a trigger. My sport follows me every day. I train assiduously to go as high and as far as possible. This season I finish with a 14th place in the Swiss general ranking. And this is only the beginning!

Why I chose Naturalpes :

Being stressed on the eve of races, I wondered if the CBD oil alternative would help me relax. That's when I stopped by the shop and they were able to help me with my request. They suggested I take the CBD Wellness 20% oil. This has helped me a lot in improving my nights and hours of sleep.

Moreover, the Balm Sport allows me to relax my muscles after my physical activities and I also apply it before my competitions.

My story:

It all started in 2015 when I walked through the door of the fight move academy in Neuchâtel, with the aim of starting MMA. But very quickly my preference was for the ground fighting part.

I really fell in love with this strange and complicated sport, mixing flexibility, strength and technique that is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

In 2017, I won my first European white belt championship. This landmark event motivated me to continue with the competition. Then in 2019, I won again the European championship but this time in blue belt.

In 2021, my training partner and her husband opened Alvorada Jiu-Jitsu in Ostermundigen. I decided without hesitation to leave my home to be closer to what I believe will be the best Jiu-Jitsu school in Switzerland.

I am currently living my last months as a purple belt, that's why I participate in a maximum of competitions in order to test my level and to correct some details before having the chance to face the biggest names in my discipline.

In August, I won an important fight in Split and contributed to the qualification of my team for the World Team Championships which will take place at the end of the year in Abu Dhabi.

Why I chose Naturalpes :

I started using CBD oils in 2019 to help with inflammation and to help me recover faster between workouts. It has helped me tremendously, as the pain was so intense it was waking me up at night.

I appreciate the products of Naturalpes, because they offer a natural CBD oil, without THC, which I use before competitions to relax and relax the muscles that have been very stressed during the preparation.

The CBD oils also help me to better manage my stress and anxiety which allows me to have a calmer and more restful sleep. I use the Raw 13% outside of competition and the Wellness 20% before my competitions. I also use the Wellness 47% oil to massage myself in case of injury.
