Cultural Tip
In France, the term “coach perso” is informal and mostly used in the context of fitness, life‑coaching, or business mentoring. In more formal written French you might hear “coach personnel” or “coach de développement personnel”. Be aware that “coach” is an English loanword, so native speakers sometimes prefer the French verb “accompagner” or the noun “accompagnateur” in professional contexts.
