It was Neau’s first assistant, Michèle L’Huillier, who invited the departmental voluntary gymnastics committee to Mayenne in September. The challenge: to establish a soft gym club in the town. And the curious come out delighted with this first session, whether they are novices or already followers of fitness sessions.

The officials of the departmental committee emerge relieved. They coordinate around sixty clubs across Mayenne and observe after this year of health crisis, the loss of around 40% of their members.
