Corentin Tolisso, the 2018 World Champion and captain of Olympique Lyonnais, has officially stepped into the world of premium wellness. Alongside co-founders Kaffa N’daw and Miloud Ayad-Zeddam, Tolisso has launched UNIQE Club, a boutique fitness studio located in the heart of Lyon’s Part-Dieu district.
Beyond a Traditional Gym: The “Club” Philosophy
Originally opened in April 2025 and now hitting its stride in early 2026, UNIQE Club aims to fill a void in the fitness market. Rather than a “headphones-on, solo-workout” environment, the studio fosters a sense of community and elite-level support.
“In traditional gyms, we felt that the ‘club’ side—the mutual aid found in football or basketball—was missing,” explains co-founder Kaffa N’daw.
High-Performance Standards for Everyone
Corentin Tolisso is not just a silent investor; he is the visionary behind the studio’s high standards. By integrating professional-grade tools like pressotherapy and recovery protocols usually reserved for elite athletes, the club offers a 360-degree approach to health.
- Small Group Focus: Sessions are strictly limited to 10 participants to ensure personalized coaching.
- Three Pillars of Training: The studio is divided into Boxing (cardio/technique), Bootcamp (intensity), and Training (muscle reinforcement).
- HYROX Partnership: The club has officially partnered with HYROX, tailoring its methodology to prepare members for the world-renowned fitness racing competition.
Premium Accessibility
With a cap of roughly 400 members, UNIQE Club prioritizes quality over volume. Memberships start at €69 per month, positioning it as a competitive alternative to high-priced individual coaching in Lyon.
As it nears its first full year of operation, the club is also expanding into corporate wellness, offering management-focused workshops that draw parallels between professional sports and business leadership.
