Fabrice deCola

MS, CSCS, CPT

Since 2006, when he opened Body Physics in Southbury, CT, Fabrice DeCola has been helping clients improve their physical well being. With more than 22 years of experience, Body Physics is a culmination of his lifelong pre-occupation with fitness.

With accomplishments beginning in college, Fabrice majored in Physical Education and earned national recognition as a collegiate, Greco-roman and Freestyle wrestler. He also excelled in running, tennis, golf and soccer, having been inspired by his father, who played professional soccer in Italy.

Anxious to own his own business, Fabrice decided to leave his successful career in business management to follow his passion for fitness. From that desire he created Body Physics, a unique personal training facility, which unlike traditional gyms focuses first on posture, balance and movement before building pure strength.

A certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist & level I Crossfit, Fabrice is also certified by: The National Federation of Personal Trainers; The National Academy of Sports Medicine; and The Aerobics and Fitness Association. In addition, he incorporates his training in Yoga, Pilates and Ti Chi into Body Physics’ programs. His knowledge and certification in The Egosque Method* provides him with the knowledge to deliver personally prescribed fitness programs that help clients, who otherwise are plagued by pain, to increase their flexibility and functionality, and live free of pain.

Believing in life-long learning, Fabrice continues to regularly attend workshops and seminars, always adding to his long list of certifications. In addition to learning, he also likes to share his knowledge. As such, he is professionally qualified to speak to schools and colleges at a national level, delivering presentations on fitness topics and techniques. He speaks locally, and coaches the Middlebury and Oxford soccer programs. He is also involved in fitness programs at the Heritage Village fitness center.  

Feeling passionate about properly focused training and the benefits of fitness for everyone, Fabrice welcomes clients of all ages and fitness levels, from eight-year-old’s wanting to excel in sports, to 80 year-olds who are wanting to improve their flexibility and stamina. Many clients are referred to Fabrice and Body Physics by physical therapists, because they can help clients who are recovering from surgery or injuries to surpass their rehabilitation capabilities. To ensure that all Body Physics clients obtain a consistent level of training and results in all areas, including strength, flexibility, core strength, balance, body toning and sports performance, Fabrice is as adamant about the level and quality of his trainers’ education as he is with his own.

* The Egosque Method. The goal of the method is to eliminate disparities that can occur when injuries or negative lifestyle conditions affect the way the musculoskeletal system actually moves as opposed to its underlying structural parameters. By restoring muscular balance, skeletal alignment and the harmonious interplay of internal systems, the body takes a quantum leap in healing power, stamina and physical capability.
