Frequently asked questions
Vondelgym offers multiple disciplines under one roof. Everything in the gym happens in one room, so you really get the energy from all the lessons at the same time. Even our hospitality area is spatially connected to the sports area. In addition, we found it important to pursue the old-fashioned sports club feeling; a place where you know people and are greeted upon arrival. The quality of our trainers is also very important, and all our trainers follow our own training program. We are mainly focused on group lessons, something that supports the social aspect. Enjoyment in sports comes first, not necessarily the aesthetic aspect of it. That is a result, not a goal.
We offer CrossFit, HYROX, (kick) box training, yoga/mobility/pilates, running, Strongher, powerlifts and regular strength training. We also offer a separate program for the youth (Youngsters), which covers all these disciplines.
CrossFit is a way of training that combines Olympic weightlifting, athletics and gymnastics. During the training, functional movements are performed in a varied way at a high intensity as quickly as possible. The philosophy behind CrossFit is not to specialize in one specific sport component because this would lead to unilateral physical development.
HYROX is a combination of running and strength training. The competition element ensures that HYROX has grown enormously quickly and is extremely popular. At our locations in Amsterdam East and South and Rotterdam, we offer plenty of HYROX lessons. Whether you want to prepare for an official HYROX competition or just want to follow the training sessions, anything is possible. Vondelgym is an official HYROX gym.
(Kick) boxing we offer in various categories: technical (kick) box training or bag training, more focused on fitness. We also offer technical lessons where the bag is not used. In addition, we also offer fundamentals, for beginners and there are sparring lessons. The differences are indicated in the schedule.
Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual exercises or disciplines that originated in ancient India. It promotes physical and mental health. Nowadays, less attention is paid to the spiritual side of Yoga and physical exercises are performed in the form of a workout. Within Yoga, you have differences in intensity and form. Vinyasa, Flow, Bikram and many more. We offer various forms of yoga.
Yin yoga
Silence, calm and deep stretches. This practice is a relaxing practice where we stretch the body. Postures are held for 5 minutes or longer. Experience peace by turning inward. Ideal on a rest day, after a workout, or after a busy day at work.
Sweat & flow
A fast and dynamic flow. Postures are held a little longer (around 6 breaths). This is the ideal class for beginning yogis who want to experience flow but still stability. Balance, strength and rest in the mind are practiced.
Breathwork
The influence of the breath is great. In the Breathwork classes, you consciously work with the breath to experience how you can influence and improve your physical and mental state. Whether you want to learn how to deal better with stress, experience more balance and rest, or optimize your physical and mental activities.
MOGY
Mogy is a combination of Mobility and Yoga and offers lessons for functional, relevant and playful movement;
Mogy Yoga Fundamentals
Mogy Yoga Fundamentals gives you an introduction to functional yoga. This is the perfect lesson for beginners or people looking for a lesson where they can find their perfect pose in peace and quiet.
Mogy Yoga Recovery
Mogy Yoga Recovery is a gentle yoga class where big muscles and joints get some extra love with dynamic stretches, functional movements and some yin poses. Go from fight-or-flight to your recovery mode/relaxation mode.
Mogy yoga Flow
Mogy Yoga Flow is a functional training, with controlled/smooth movements, your own body weight and the will to listen to your body. Flow is an active class, where you move from one yoga pose to another (vinyasa style).
Mobility and flexibility. The extent to which the body has sufficient mobility and flexibility indicates the quality of exercise. It is a low-intensity but very challenging training because of the high focus on execution. This form of training does not use heavy weights and is mainly focused on restoring and/or increasing the body's mobility and flexibility. This allows you to move better, and the risk of injuries is significantly reduced. So-called “activation exercises” that are reviewed can well be used as warm-up/cool-down stretches. Keywords; Muscle activation, quality of movement, lack of flexibility, injury prevention, recovery, low intensity, greater range of motion in motion.
Running, every day, you can run under supervision at Vondelgym. Our trainers work with you on endurance, speed and strength and are happy to help you reach your running goal.
Fitness, Classic strength training. Iron... dumbbells, barbells, benches, squat racks, and so on. This branch needs little explanation. Free training is possible at Vondelgym, but some things are also offered in groups, such as our circuit lessons and Sterk 60+.
Strongher is a strength training lesson especially for women in the broadest sense of the word. The lesson is also suitable for pre- and post-natal sports.
Powerlifting is a strength sport that focuses on three major movements; the bench press, deadlift and squat.
Youngsters Youngsters is our youth branch. We teach at schools in the city and, of course, in the gym. Fun is central to all lessons; moving in a playful way. Think Kids CrossFit, Taekwondo, MMA (Superhero Training) Football Gym, Boot Camp and Kickboxing.
