Train with kickboxing world champion Rico Verhoeven

Het Gymlokaal has entered into a partnership with sports brand adidas. As a result, our members not only train with the latest adidas equipment, but can also follow a free training session or clinic with a top athlete every month. This series of clinics kicks off on October 27th with none other than Rico Verhoeven, kickboxing world champion. Founders of Het Gymlokaal Nienke and Nelleke talk about this new special collaboration with adidas.
 
What does the collaboration entail?
Nienke: “First of all, the studios have been equipped with the latest sports equipment from adidas. The punching bags, weights, kettlebells, plyo boxes, yoga mats, yoga belts, yoga blocks, you name it. In addition, all trainers have been provided with new clothing." 
 
Nelleke: “There will be a monthly clinic or training session given by a top athlete. Het Gymlokaal members can attend for free. We are incredibly proud that we’re starting the clinic series with none other than Rico Verhoeven. That’s right, the kickboxing world champion is coming to Het Gymlokaal!"
 
Why adidas?
Nelleke: “Adidas is a brand that focuses on all-round athletes. Nowadays people are increasingly active in multiple sports disciplines. They do kickboxing, yoga, but also cross-training, mobility and movement. That’s exactly why we put together our class programme to be as diverse as possible. Adidas equipment fits in perfectly with this." 
 
How did the collaboration come about?
Nienke: “Adidas was at an event in the building of De School. They had already heard about Het Gymlokaal before, but when they saw the location they were very impressed and wanted to sit down with Nelleke and me to talk."
 
Nelleke: “In the conversation that followed with Adidas, there was an immediate connection. We wanted a collaboration that would be a real addition to Het Gymlokaal. Adidas works with an impressive list of top athletes. That’s why we saw great opportunities to create something really exciting together."
 
How will the collaboration continue?
Nelleke: “Every month we announce which athlete is coming to Het Gymlokaal, we can’t reveal who the next ones are yet, but keep a close eye on our social media and chalkboard. But Rico Verhoeven is already ‘a dream coming true’!
