#10 | Anaïs Jazmine, sports coach and entrepreneur
Welcome to POING FORT, the podcast that will give you the weapons of self-confidence. In this first season, 10 guests remove the mask to speak to us frankly about the failures and doubts they had to overcome to achieve their ambitions.
In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming Anaïs Jazmine, sports coach, entrepreneur and founder of the “Bellysculpting” method.
From a young age, she harbored the dream of becoming an artistic director and fashion photographer. However, destiny has another passion in store for him: sport. Fascinated by the benefits of Pilates which helps her to reconcile with her body, she decides to train.
When the pandemic hits, Anaïs uses this tumultuous period as an opportunity to reinvent herself. She then launched herself on social networks, shared training sessions and offered her first live classes.
Her community grew so well that she created her own sporting method and published her first book. The Bellysculpting method" in 2022 and launches its online course platform in May 2023, not without difficulty...
At the microphone of Poing Fort, she tells us how she coped with the ups and downs of entrepreneurship as well as the cyberharassment that she regularly faces on social networks.
MARGAUX: Could you introduce yourself for people who don't know you?
ANAÏS: I am the founder of the BellySculpting method, which we may know better as the flat stomach method. This is a method that I created during confinement. I am also a certified Pilates instructor. I launched my sports application, the BellySculpting method, in March 2023 and I am very proud of it.
Before being a Pilates teacher, I was a fashion photographer and artistic director in advertising.

MARGAUX: You started sport relatively young, how did sport come into your life?
ANAÏS: I returned to sport at the age of 18, during the BAC period, because I had gained a lot of weight. At the time, it was pasta, pasta, pasta, we were students, we did whatever we wanted... And then, I joined a gym one day, I put one foot in and I couldn't get out. I loved the energy there.
Then I started working out, I lost weight, I gained muscle. I began to understand, and above all want to understand, how muscles work, recovery times... Have a broader understanding of sport.
MARGAUX: Originally, you wanted to become a fashion photographer. What caused the change?
ANAÏS: In 2018, I met Verena Tremel, who is the founder of the Ritual studio and who is in any case, in my opinion, the prescriber of the Reformer (pilates machine) in France. I used to go to pilates sessions all the time and I realize that I love it. And my sister said to me: but don’t you want to train? I say to myself: why not?
I am registering for the training in February 2020. It was in person until March 2020. Lockdown is coming, and we found ourselves doing it remotely.
We had to validate 300 hours of practice, 300 hours of observation and 300 hours of teaching in a year and a half... At that time, we have authorization to do online courses and for them to be valid for the 'final exam. I'm just starting to give Pilates classes live on Instagram.
Margaux: Have we finally, with social networks, been conditioned to consider only one standard of beauty?
ANAÏS: Obviously! I am a Pilates coach and, each time, I receive comments where they make me understand that it is almost crazy that I claim to be a Pilates teacher, given the body I have.
I have a butt, I'm a little in shape sometimes, I talk about my weight issues, and I'm honest about it. Because I too have breakdowns, eating disorders, because I deal with hormonal problems, with stress, with real life problems.
I'm a Pilates teacher, I'm not a model or something icy.
