Update after closing

After the initial shock by the news that we had to close our doors again, we decided not to give up. Of course it is very disappointing, but we have to get through this. The importance of a properly functioning immune system is clear to all of us. Sufficient exercise plays a crucial role in this. Despite the fact that we are physically closed, we still want to make sure that our members keep moving. We offer 2 options: 1.Aerofit Home workout videos Our YouTube channel (AerofitHC) is still active. Here you will find more than 160 videos of our own instructors. Workouts that you can follow at home at a time that suits you. You have a wide choice of various workouts: Bodyshape, Yoga, Step, Bodypump, Workout of the day, Pilates and much more. We will also regularly post new videos on this channel. 2. Group lessons via Zoom Besides our YouTube video's we will be offering a number of our group lessons via live streaming from tomorrow. You can then follow the group lesson at home, live at the time you usually come to Aerofit, together with your favorite instructor. The classes will be given in such a way that you can also follow the class at home without material or with adapted material. How does Zoom work? As an Aerofit member you can register for our online lessons via the Sportivity App. You will then also receive an explanation of how Zoom works. The online class schedule is available now and you can register for the online classes from tomorrow.

Group classes News

From Monday, November 30, we will offer an extra service voor members only: Take classes at home via ZOOM. A number of classes that are given inside the club, will also be offered via ZOOM.

If you want to participate in a ZOOM class, register for this class via the Sportivity App. Make sure you choose the right class, for example Yoga ZOOM.

He will give you extra motivation, but he will also slow you down when necessary. Chris's specialismen: – Pre- and post-natal Fitness – Rehab training – Strength and condition training – Nutrition and supplementation consultant – Orthomolecular therapist – Lifestyle coach So do you want to work on yourself in a responsible and healthy way?

A friendly but urgent request not to spray the cleaning agent directly on the devices. This is really bad for the equipment. Please spray detergent on the cloth and then wipe the equipment with the damp cloth. Thank you very much for your cooperation!   Stay safe, stay fit, stay Aerofit!

Group classes News

From Thursday, November 19, we can offer our group class again in the club as we were used to before November 5. We are of course very happy with that! So we would like to see you again at the club in our live classes from next Thursday. Make sure you have reserved your spot via the Sportivity App! In recent weeks we have offered a number of group classes via ZOOM. Your favorite workout at home in your living room! We receive various responses to this, from “great" to “not for me". This ZOOM period, which is also new to us, has given us progressive insight. How nice would it be if we can serve our members in both areas? So both live classes in the club and live streaming classes via ZOOM to follow at home? We are working hard to further improve the technology surrounding the ZOOM classes. We still need some time to use ZOOM as effectively as possible and to arrange the logistics as well as possible. From Monday, November 30, you can also follow a number of lessons that are taught live in the club via live streaming at home. More information about the ZOOM classes will follow next week. Virtual group classes To further increase the capacity of our group classes, we have decided to offer a number of virtual classes in our group class room from Monday 23 November. You can follow a class from one of our Aerofit instructors on the big screen. We will initially offer the following lessons and see how this will work: – Monday: 16.30 Bodypump – Tuesday: 16.30 Yin Yoga – Wednesday: 16.30 Pilates – Wednesday: 18.00 Step – Thursday: 16.30 Body shape – Thursday: 20.30 Bodybalance – Friday: 16.30 Yoga – Saturday: 14.00 Body shape – Sunday: 14.00 Bodypump Reserve a spot via the Sportivity App, eg Step VIRTUAL Wednesday 18.00. The virtual classes are suitable for members who already have experience with classes. Taking these lessons is at your own risk, there is no instructor in the room. Take a spray and cloth with you when entering the room and clean everything you have used after the training. Cycle zone A number of spinners gratefully use our Cycle zone: individual spinning training in the spinning room. We have therefore decided to continue to offer this at certain times of the week. Follow a mountain stage on the big screen or follow an online spinning lesson on your phone from, for example, Les Mills on demand (RPM or Sprint). We will not be playing music in the spinning room as the door must be left open and this may be disruptive to members exercising in the gym. Bring your own music and earphones to your spinning training! Book a Cycle training via the Sportivity App, possible at the following times: Monday to Friday: 07.15 Tuesday: 18.30 Monday to Thursday: 12.15 Thursday: 19.45 Saturday and Sunday: 13.45 Training in the Cycle zone is at your own risk, there is no instructor in the room. When entering the room, take a spray and cloth with you and clean your bike after training. Enjoy the ride! Stay safe, stay fit, stay Aero(fit)

Newsflash November 5

Last night, the government announced additional measures. The good news is that we can stay open. Nothing will change for the fitness area and the Milon Circle. Not so good news is that we are not allowed to offer group lessons for the next 2 weeks, starting tomorrow. This means no spinning, Synrgy and any other group lessons. This news came completely unexpected and we did not see it coming. All reservations for group lessons from 5 to (and including) 18 November will be canceled for that reason. But we are not giving up and we will again come up with creative solutions. Group lessons via Zoom For the members who follow group lessons, we will be offering a large number of our group lessons via live streaming from Friday. You can then follow the group lesson live at the time you are used to coming to Aerofit, together with your favorite instructor. The lessons will be given in such a way that you can also follow the lesson at home without material or with adapted material. In this way you stay in shape, so that you can join the lessons at our club again in 2 weeks without any problems. How does Zoom work? As an Aerofit member you can register for our online lessons via the Sportivity App. You will then also receive an explanation of how Zoom works. The online class schedule will be available from 12.00 tomorrow and you can register for the online classes from Friday 6 November. Stay connected, work out together at home! Bootcamp Because we are allowed to go outside with only 2 people, the Bootcamp on Sunday will be cancelled for the next 2 weeks. We will pick it up again on Sunday 22 November. Shape zone, Cycle zone During times when no Zoom group lessons are given, members can use the group fitness room for training. One person can train in a separate area. You can use all training materials in this room. Such as the step, Bodypump barbells, mats, dumbells, resistance bands, etc. You can also use the room for yoga, Pilates and stretching exercises. Make a reservation for “Shape zone" via the Sportivity App. PAY ATTENTION! When entering the room, take a spray and cloth with you. Please clean the materials after use and leave them in the training compartment. You can also use the spinning bikes in our Cycle zone in the coming weeks. Make a reservation for “Cycle zone" via the Sportivity App. You can do your own individual spinning training on motivational music. If you want to do some exercises in the fitness after your spinning training, you can ask the fitness trainer if there is room available. You can register for the Shape and Cycle zone from 12 noon tomorrow for Friday 6 November. Training in these areas is at your own risk, there is no trainer available. Resistance bands for home use We sell resistance bands that you can use at home for our online training sessions. Very useful for especially the CXWorx lessons and the Bodyshape lessons. They are available at the reception for € 7.50 each. Aerofit Home workout videos Our YouTube channel (AerofitHC) is still active. Here you will find more than 160 videos of our own instructors. Training that you can follow at home at a time that suits you. You have a wide choice of various workouts: Bodyshape, Yoga, Step, Bodypump, Workout of the day, Pilates and much more. Exercise in the gym In the coming weeks you can train in the Fitness area and the Milon Circle. If you have no experience with fitness training, you can make an appointment at the reception with one of our trainers to make a personal fitness schedule. This might also be a good opportunity to try a free Milon training, if you are interested in a Milon subscription. The ban on group lessons will last for 2 weeks, from Thursday 19 November we will see each other again live in the lessons at our club. Until then we will see each other via Zoom, in our gym or in our Cycle or Shape zone. If you have any questions, please send an email to info@aerofit.nl. Stay safe, stay fit, stay Aero (fit)

Corona news IV

Locker rooms open again If you use the dressing room as a locker room and not as a dressing room, the locker room is allowed to open again. The locker rooms may not be used for changing, but can be used to change shoes and to put things in a locker. Extensive changing is NOT allowed. So come to Aerofit in your sportswear (long training pants over short sports pants are allowed). So don't come in a three-piece suit! ;-) Of course you can still change shoes around the bar. This way we create more space again during the time slot changes. The locker rooms will be open again from tomorrow. Material group lesson To keep even more space between members in the group class room, we decided to prepare all the equipment before the Bodypump classes, including 1 set of plates. Of course you can grab some extra plates if you need to, but at least this ensures less traffic around the Bodypump rack. After the Bodypump class you can leave all the material on the floor (plates, barbell, mats and step). This will be cleaned up by our employees. Also for all other classes, all used material (such as mats, dumbells, yoga blocks, etc.) may remain on the floor at the end of the lesson. Numbers in the group class room and in the spinning room In the group classroom there are now numbers (1 to 5) on the round stickers on the floor. We are going to use these numbers to better control “traffic” in the group classroom. If material has to be picked up during the class (e.g. dumbells or mats) first all numbers 1 take the material and go back to their place, then all numbers 2 etc. The spinning bikes are also numbered (1 to 6). This way we want to ensure that members can keep more distance when leaving the room. For both the spinning room and the group class room, after the lesson, first the nrs 1 leave the room, then the nrs 2 etc. The instructor is a “traffic controller” but is not a police officer, so we assume that all participants in our lessons will take their own responsibility in this. It is not getting easier for us, but we do everything we can to stay open. We count on everyone to stick to the rules so that we can continue to work on a healthy lifestyle and thereby strengthen our immune system. Together we're strong!

Corona News III

Yesterday, the government announced new measures regarding the Coronavirus. The good news is that Aerofit remains open and we can continue our group classes! Fortunately, the new measures have limited consequences for the fitness industry. Gyms appear not to be a source of contamination worldwide. The government also sees the importance of a fit and healthy lifestyle in the fight against Corona. What will change for Aerofit from tomorrow? Some Synrgy times will be adjusted slightly. So pay attention to your reservation time, so that you do not miss your training! All evening Synrgy wil chance from 19.00 to 19:30 and Sunday 10.30 will chance to 10.15. Unfortunately we have to close the changing rooms again from tomorrow. We find that very unfortunate and not logical because opening the changing rooms ensures more spread. But these are the rules. Gathering outside with groups larger than 4 people, is no longer allowed from tomorrow. That's why we unfortunately have decided to remove the coffee machine. Despite how cozy it is, the coffee ensures that members linger a bit longer in front of the club. We are afraid that we will get into trouble, especially now that the catering industry is closed from tomorrow. Because it is no longer allowed to gather outside with more than 4 people from tomorrow, it seems we are no longer allowed to offer Bootcamp (Sunday morning) and Runnersclub (Wednesday evening). Of course this is quite hard to understand. Hopefully this will change soon. Our branch organization NLActief is still working on this. If there is more clarity about this, we will of course inform you. These rules apply at least until October 27. Then the government will re-evaluate. Safety first at Aerofit Together we must ensure that we can keep working out in a safe way at Aerofit. That is why the following 3 most important basic rules apply within Aerofit, in addition to the other measures such as wash / disinfect your hands, cough/sneeze in your elbow and clean your device after use: In case of complaints (sore throat, snot nose, cough, fever) stay home! Keep a distance of 1.5 m from each other as much as possible. Don't arrive too early for your training to avoid gathering in front of the building, waiting inside Aerofit is not allowed. Because Aerofit is not a public area, wearing mouth masks is a free choice within Aerofit. If you like it, you can wear a mouth mask. For example, you could wear a mouth mask when entering or leaving the building or at the start or end of a group class. Let Aerofit stay open so that we can work on a fit body and a relaxed mind. This is the basis of a strong immune system and therefore the best weapon against (virus) infections! More classes on the schedule From Thursday October 22, we will again add extra lessons to our class schedule to offer you even more opportunities to participate in our group classes. Thursday 08.15 Shape30 (30 minutes intensive body shape training) with Chrissy Thursday 20.30 Step&Shape (30 minutes steptraining and 30 minutes Body shape) with Corinne Are you unable to attend? Cancel your reservation! We would like to emphasize once again that you must cancel your training if you unexpectedly cannot come. The classes are often full, with members on the waiting list. If you do not show up without unsubscribing, you will deprive someone else of a place in the class. You can cancel 4 hours before the lesson via the Sportivity App, you can cancel less than 4 hours before the lesson by telephone (070-5119645). This also applies to the fitness/Milon reservations.

October News II

Before the press conference on September 28, we had decided to reopen the bar on October 12. Due to the increase of infections and because the government has decided that sports canteens (which we also fall under) are not allowed to open, this will unfortunately won't happen. It is of course also a shame that we cannot open the showers and sauna due to the increase of contamination. That's why we will still offer free coffee and tea for the time being. So… enjoy it a little longer!   Keep your distance, even outside We want to remind everyone to respect the 1.5 m distance as much as possible inside, but also outside Aerofit.   You can enter 7 minutes before your reservation. If you are too early, you have to wait outside, to prevent people waiting in the hall or at the reception.   We understand that this is not really attractive in this weather so we are working on a solution. There is a permit application from the municipality for the installation of a 12 m wide awning at the front of the building. This application will be processed on Monday 12 October. We hope to hear good news soon.   Until then, don't come (much) too early for your workout.   Group lessons very well attended Very good to see that all our group lessons are so popular. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, we ask you not to forget to cancel your grup lesson if you are unexpectedly unable to attend. This can be done up to 4 hours before your training via the Sportivity App or less than 4 hours in advance by telephone. This way you give other members a chance to join the class.   Members who are on the waiting list will receive an email that there is a spot available, whoever responds first can then register for the class. Always be on time for the group lessons. If you arrive late (= after the start time of your reservation) you have the chance that we will give your place to someone who is on the waiting list. F.I.T = Ferdy's Intensive Training Starting next week, Ferdy's Bootcamp will be canceled on Tuesday evenings. In its place there will be F.I.T. on the timetable on Tuesday at 18.00. This stands for Ferdy's Intensive Training ;-). This lesson is suitable for the (very) advanced athlete and lasts 45 minutes. Who dares to take this challenge? Mouth mask Wearing mouth masks is a free choice within Aerofit. If it makes you feel comfortable, you can wear it. For example, you could wear a mouth mask when entering or leaving the club or at the start or end of a group lesson. We continue to point out to everyone that keeping a distance of 1.5 m from each other as much as possible remains the most important rule within Aerofit. From today our fitness trainers will wear a mouth mask during Intakes and appointments for the Milon circle. We ordered special Aerofit mouth masks which we also sell at the reception, If you are interested you can buy one, they only cost € 6,00.

October news

We have decided to reopen the changing rooms on 1 October. If it is necessary to change clothes you can use the changing room. We still have the option of only changing shoes around the bar.   Because we do not allow more members than we do now and because we create more m2 of changing area, it will be less crowded around the bar during time slot switches. We will keep the showers and sauna closed for the time being to promote the flow as much as possible. A few points of attention: –Only use the changing room if you want to change. Otherwise, still change as much as possible at home so you only have to change your shoes inside Aerofit (around the bar). –Leave valuables at home, if that is not possible you can also hand in valuables at the reception. –Leave the locker room as soon as possible, so don't use it as a meetingpoint. –Keep a distance of 1.5 m from each other as much as possible in the locker room, we trust that everyone takes his / her responsibility in this. Extra group classes All our group classes are very well attended. We monitor the group training sessions on a daily basis and, if necessary and possible, we put more sessions on the schedule.   New on the class schedule: –From Thursday October 1 at 11.30 is Pilates with Angela. –From Friday, October 2, we offer the following Syngry training courses: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 08.45 (30 minutes) and 09.15 (45 minutes). Register via our Sportivity App.   Jubilee Arnold has been working at Aerofit for already 15 years, on 1 October. In 2005 he came in as a young boy. In the past years he has developed into a valuable member of our team. Arnold congratulations! Releases new programs Les Mills From Monday October 5 you can follow the latest Les Mills programs at our club. Enjoy the Body pump, Body balance and CXworx workouts. Challenge yourself!

Newsflash May 7

Our society slowly starts to move again.   For example, primary schools will open again, our hair can be cut from on next week, beauty salons will open their doors, driving lessons will start again and physiotherapists will be able to treat patients again. The hospitality industry will also partially reopen as of 1 June.   As happy as I am for my fellow entrepreneurs, how utterly disappointing was last night's press conference for our industry. Fitness centers will not open yet.   In the context of preventive health care, it is certainly important in this crisis that fitness centers can open their doors again. The best weapon against Corona is good resistance. Exercise increases your resistance and strengthens your immune system.   And we are ready. Our booking system is ready, the routing within Aerofit has been thought out and the 1.5 m distance in the fitness, Milon, spinning and group class room has been measured, plexiglass has been arranged at the reception.   We will not give up! Together with sector organization NLActief and the Association for Exclusive Sports Centers, we will join in this battle. We can absolutely open in a safe, responsible and regulated manner. We will convince the government of this!   Physiotherapy possible again As you may have noticed, physiotherapy practices are allowed to run again, also within Aerofit. If you need physiotherapy, make an appointment with Roy Bentvelzen (06-11057470) or with Pauline Baars (06-25482060 or 070-5141664). They are happy to help you! Beautysalon La Luxe reopened Beautysalon La Luxe will also open its doors again next Monday. Vicky is of course very happy with that! Do you need a moment for yourself and do you want to support Vicky, then make an appointment for one of her wonderful treatments. Telephone: 06-51515116. Personal training Do you find it difficult to motivate yourself and do you need an extra push? Our Personal trainers provide outdoor training. If you are interested in this, please contact one of them. They are happy to inform you about the possibilities and costs. We hope to bring good news soon. Stay safe, stay (Aerof)fit! On behalf of the entire Aerofit team, Linda van Paassen

Newsflash April 30

We hope you are still healthy and that you are staying active, even though Aerofit is closed. We hope to open up our doors again on May 20. Obviously under restrictions, but still a step in the right direction. We are busy with the protocol "open in a safe way". For example, we are working on a booking system. This way we know exactly how many visitors are inside, in order to coordinate visitor flows properly. Devices are placed further apart; floor tape and plexiglass have been ordered. Everything to ensure that we are ready in time to open our doors again for our members ones we are allowed to.   About the contribution of May, as indicated earlier, we will not automatically collect this month. Many members are asking for ways to keep supporting Aerofit. My team and I are of course very happy with this and we are grateful for all the support we have received so far. That helps us to get through this crisis. For the record, no one should feel obligated. I realize better than anyone that there are also many members who are facing (financial) challenges. You can be sure that we will receive all members with open arms when we open again. Do you pay monthly via direct debit and do you want to support us by paying the month of May? Then you can indicate this until Thursday May 7, via the following link:     Do you have a prepaid (2) year card? Depending on how long we will remain closed, we will also come up with appropriate compensation options for the missed sports weeks in May. It will also include the option to continue to support Aerofit.   We will inform you about this as soon as there is more clarity about the opening date. Positive news Fortunately, positive things also happen within Aerofit. For example, Mark van Kampen (Personal trainer and substitute spinning instructor) became a father for the third time. A son is born, his name is Lenn. Mark, we wish you a lot of happiness! Furthermore, Ferdy has been working at Aerofit for 15 years now. He came in as a shy intern, now he has become a regular face of our Aerofit team. Ferdy, congratulations, on to another 15 years! On behalf of the entire Aerofit team, Stay home, Stay safe, Stay (Aero)fit! Linda van Paassen

Corona update 19/3/20

First of all, I hope you and your loved ones are in good health. We have ended up in a bizarre situation that nobody thought could be possible. For me as an entrepreneur, it is not only very difficult personally but also business wise. It is extremely hard and sad to not be able to receive my members after 23 years of doing business. However, we are determined to get through this and we stay positive! I get a lot of support from my fantastic team, this is also a difficult time for them. We get some questions from members about the subscription. I would like to say the following about this: I appeal to everyone's patience and loyalty and ask for courtesy. Since it is not clear to anyone what the impact of this crisis will be, I cannot yet make any commitments regarding compensation for missed weeks. The government is busy with compensation funds. Unfortunately we do not know yet how this will work out for us as a company in the fitness branch. When there is more clarity about this and there are realistic options available, we will certainly use them to compensate for missed weeks in one way or another. I hope for your understanding and support and will keep you posted if there is more clarity. Everything for the higher goal, that after this crisis we can work together again on a healthy lifestyle within Aerofit. "Taking care of your body is an investment. You get something in return which is priceless ……" So, stay active! Give our (free) Youtube channel a visit, get Aerofit at home and choose a work out with one of our team instructors every day. On behalf of the entire Aerofit Team, Linda van Paassen

FIT MAMA, training & coaching

Research shows that strength training during pregnancy does good for the health of both mother and child. It helps you maintain a healthy weight, controls mood swings, helps you to sleep better, keeps your blood pressure low and reduces the risk of gestational diabetes and pelvic related complaints. And last but not least, a fit body ensures that you can handle giving birth better and ensures a faster recovery after giving birth. After giving birth, it is important to become strong and fit again by doing safe and focused exercises with extra attention to the pelvic muscles and the core.   Reason enough to (continue to) train during your pregnancy and to pick it up again from 6 weeks after delivery. We can imagine that you find that a little scary because you may be unsure about which exercises you should and should not do and with what intensity. That is why our specially trained MAMA trainers Chrissie and Merit have put together a safe and targeted program.   What is FIT MAMA? A new 8-week program especially for pregnant women who want to stay fit during pregnancy and for women who want to recover responsibly after giving birth. What can you expect from FIT MAMA? -8 weeks of training twice a week (1 morning and 1 evening) under professional supervision. -Training in a group of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 mums and/or mums to be. -Every week is about an interesting and relevant theme that we will discuss in more detail. -Free childcare for older children during morning trainings. -Use of all Aerofit facilities during the 8 week program. -Access to a private Facebook group with other (former) participating moms (to be). -Member of a network/community of women in the same phase of life. When does FIT MAMA start? We start with the first training in the week of January 20, 2020. The training will take place at Aerofit on Monday morning from 10.30-11.30 and on Thursday evening from 20.00-21.00 The program will take place with a minimum of 4 participants.   What does FIT MAMA cost? € 280 for non-Aerofit members € 199 for Aerofit members You can register or ask for more information by sending an email to fitmama@aerofit.nl., fill in the contactform or by calling the general number of Aerofit 070-5119645.
