Alain Gosselin

Triathlete

Biography

Alain Gosselin is an entrepreneur and an expert physical transformation coach. Known for his iron discipline, rigorous work ethic, and passion for pushing his limits, he now shares his daily life and evolution with great transparency on social media. His primary goal is to inspire his community to push their own limits and to powerfully demonstrate that it is never too late to embrace a new discipline and take on major challenges.

Background

A former professional fitness athlete, Alain first dedicated over 25 years to strength training, competing for eight years until reaching the highest levels of the sport. This impressive initial career led him to grace the covers of several specialized magazines and participate in around fifty photoshoots. In 2025, he decided to completely step out of his comfort zone by making a radical shift toward triathlon. With no prior experience in running or cycling, and with only a basic swimming foundation acquired during childhood, he resolutely began this brand-new athletic chapter.
