Why Many Expats in Haarlem Struggle with Fitness

Moving abroad is exciting, but as an expat you may find it hard to take care of your own health. We often hear from expats in Haarlem that they:

  • Feel too tired after work to play with their children.
  • Struggle with extra weight and the physical discomfort that comes with it.
  • Don’t feel strong or confident in their body.
  • Miss a social circle or expat community in Haarlem where they can meet like-minded people.
  • Enter a big gym and have no idea what to do to actually reach their goals.
  • Dislike training in overcrowded gyms where you wait forever for equipment or don’t feel comfortable in the atmosphere.

New machines!

Vanaf september komen er vijf nieuwe apparaten bij Fundamentals in Haarlem. Onze gym bestaat inmiddels zo’n 6 jaar en steeds meer mensen weten de weg naar Fundamentals te vinden. Dit is natuurlijk leuk want zo wordt Haarlem steeds een beetje fitter en gelijktijdig neemt de druk op de sportschool toe. We hebben dus besloten om te investeren in de gym om ervoor te zorgen dat we met de ruimte die we hebben zo veel mogelijk mensen een fijne sportplek kunnen bieden. Meer equipment betekent dat meer mensen tegelijktijdig hun oefeningen kunnen doen.
