SNM (Sport Nutrition Management) Sàrl was founded in August 2006 by Mr. Olivier Bourquin and Mr. Steve Marsden in order to provide a service to its major client, the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL). Indeed, SNM Sàrl’s mandate is to manage all the sports activities and facilities at EHL. The range of services offered by SNM Sàrl has subsequently grown in order to find solutions to our society’s current problems.

In the United States, 61% of the population is overweight and 27% is clinically obese and in poor health, figures which have doubled since 1980 and which have grown by 10% during the past four years. Other EC countries show similarly high figures.

The principal illnesses linked to a lack of regular physical activity as well as to an unbalanced diet are obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis and dental problems.

More and more youngsters, too, are overweight. Children are less and less coordinated and their motor skills have diminished.

Being in good health today no longer means "not being ill", but rather benefiting fully from one’s psychological and physical wellness.

The concept "Sport-education", created in 2006 by Olivier Bourquin and managed since 2007 by SNM Sàrl, is a global concept global of which the goal is to help to improve the state of health of the population.

In order to achieve this, we propose several activities targeting different groups:

• "sports/nutrition" days, training sessions and conferences for companies
• cooking and physical exercise courses for seniors
• "sports/cooking" camps for juniors
• a range of physical tests for sports clubs and teams
• nutritional and micro-nutritional counselling and follow-up for elite athletes
