    (Translated by Google) I pay 1200 euros a year and they can't answer on time (+ very sarcastic) (Original) Ik betaal 1200 euro per jaar en ze kunnen niet eens op tijd antwoorden (+ zeer sarcastisch)

    (Translated by Google) You can only deregister if you move, you cannot prove this, you get a ridiculously large fine, their lawyer and process around your neck !! As a student student you cannot always present this. Read their contract carefully before you sign it! (Original) Je kan je dus alleen uitschrijven als je verhuist, kan je dit niet bewijzen, krijg je een belachelijk grote boete, hun advocaat en process rond je nek!! Als kotstudente kan je dit niet altijd voorleggen. Lees goed hun contract voor je die ondertekent!

    About as nice and trendy as a gym can get. Absolutely premium in every way. DJ playing live music. Sauna. Everything styled to perfection. Technogym equipment everywhere. Cream of the crop.

    Where do I start. By far the best gym I have been too! Top notch quality, amazing atmosphere (yes they have a D J playing) and the best coaches and classes in town. Unlike Ross and Chandler, you will not want to quit the gym :D

    The brick is one of the best gyms i have been to- Hygeine- the place is clean and everyone is encouraged to clean the machine and space with spray and tissues that are available. There are towels available that are clean. Equipments- the gym has all of the equipments that you will possibly need and there are enough to support the crowd of the gym. Facilities - there is one gym and one crossfit center. Gym houses equipments for cardio and weights. There are also inhouse classes for yoga, pilates, boxing etc. It is inclusive in your membership. There is a sauna, baths and locker rooms. There is also a small lounge with drinks ( coffee, tea) - see photo.

    Spoke to Vincent about a possible membership for this gym for the times I would be in Antwerpen. I move between the two cities(I live in Rotterdam). He wasn't very accommodating and I felt like he was somewhat annoyed with my partner and I inquiring about the possibilities. He gave me the idea or atleast i got the idea that we weren't his target clientele. So a bit pretentious in my opinion. Also they have Crossfit but no fundamental classes/workshop. Other than this the place is absolutely stunning.

    (Translated by Google) Super nice fitness. From January 2020 they also have a CrossFit. You get so much, so you don't have to bring a towel and you can take water, coffee and tea. There is a basket full of fresh fruit every day. There is a DJ playing regularly, which is great to train on. You can ask the coaches to make schedules and follow you up. You can participate in all group lessons. (Original) Super fijne fitness. Vanaf januari 2020 hebben ze ook een CrossFit. Je krijgt er zo veel, zo hoef je geen handdoek mee te nemen en kan je water, koffie en thee nemen. Er staat elke dag een mand vol vers fruit. Er komt regelmatig een DJ draaien, wat heerlijk is om op te trainen. Je kan de coaches vragen schema's te maken en je op te volgen. Je kan deelnemen aan alle groepslessen.

    Quality has its price, which is no difference with The Brick. Suited for cardio training and heavy lifting. And there are also plenty of group activities such as pilates, boxing, 80's aerobics, cycling...

    This was far the best gym I’ve ever been too. They have 3 gyms, CROSSFIT, Bodybuilder gym and the Circus. What I love about this gym was the “Animal Flow” group lesson. Major shoutout to “Calvin” he is one of the positive peeps I met in the Brick that’s why I love being there.

  • 5/5 Nancy de F. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply the best gym in town. I have been a member for almost 1 year and I am a big fan. I go there 2-4 times a week. They have 3 locations - 1 CrossFit, one big gym and one smaller gym for classes. You can do pretty much anything from Pilates to yoga, CrossFit, spinning, and the list goes on. They have the best equipment, plenty of machines to work specific muscle groups. The teachers are great and English speakers too. I personally recommend Irene (Pilates and aerobics) and Wesley (yin and vinyasa yoga). They are the best ❤️ oh and did I mention that there are live DJ sets every now and then too ?

    (Translated by Google) The Brick is a place where I can relax. It is the most beautiful fitness that I know and where I feel 100% at ease while exercising. The staff but also the ones who come to train are friendly and polite! And also the coffee moments are always laughter :-) If you're searching for a gym, you just found it !!! (Original) The Brick is een plaats waar ik tot rust kom. Het is dé mooiste fitness die ik ken en waar ik als vrouw me 100% op mijn gemak voel tijdens het sporten. Het personeel maar ook degene die komen trainen zijn vriendelijk en beleefd! En ook de koffiemomentjes zijn altijd lachen :-) If you're searching for a gym, you just found it!!!

    Wow what an amazing gym! With 3 locations in Antwerp, offering reformer Pilates, yoga, CrossFit and amazing circuit training classes and having all new equipment and studios, the value for money is top. I only wish I had joined sooner.

    Premium gym facility - Great range of classes across three locations located near one another. Staff are very supportive and inclusive. All locations appear new and are well maintained. Equipment is also kept in mint condition and cleanliness.

    Great box, where we, coaches @CrossFit Culemborg, were welcome for personal training from Lau. Given the short time we had, we did 2 of the 3 WOD's of Monster Mash. Super awesome! Afterwards we could use the nice showers at the neighbors.

    We spent a weekend in Antwerp and ended up in this gym on Sunday afternoon for a workout. We were warmly welcomed and given a short tour. The gym has two floors, is spacious and modern and all equipment is from TechnoGym. There are also changing rooms with lockers (m/f), including nice individual, clean (!) shower rooms. There is a nice vibe in the gym. Plus point: towels are provided, there is also tea/coffee and fruit for every visitor.

    One of, if not the best gym I have ever been to. A great mix of atmosphere, friendly staff, great facilities and design. The variety of machinery is amazing and all the group classes are very enjoyable.

    We now came here twice for a CrossFit drop-in, and both times it was great fun. Challenging workouts, friendly trainers. Definitely our CrossFit box to go to when we are in Antwerp.

  • 5/5 Tim Van L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very client and experience oriented. Equipment is good. Something for everyone. Depending on the hour or out of the 3 locations, everyone will find a trainer, session, member-cluster or vibe (busy/calm intense/relaxed) to resonate with.

    I can recommend the courses at the brick academy by Roy. Roy is person with great expertise and deep knowledge of nutrition, health and training . Roy was a fantastic person to learn from. Honest, passionate and going the extra mile to reach the best possible outcome for his clients and course. It has been a pleasure learning from him in the brick academy!

  • 5/5 Frederik B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place rocks. I'm a music lover and they really know how to play good music. Even the funky 80's soul music 🎶 in the entrance hall has been well selected. Haven't heard any bad song during all those years @ the gym. They even have dj's who play excellent EDM and other techno music. Defenitely good taste of music.

  • 5/5 Stephy P. 5 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place, simply walking in is enough to put me in a good mood every time! Teachers and personal trainers alike are very knowledgeable and helpful so your workouts are always tailored to your needs and group classes are both effective and highly enjoyable. There's a lovely little corner where you can curl up to read or socialize before or after your workout with a cup of coffee if you like, making this gym a place to not only work out, but also to unwind a little and get to know your fellow gym members. The facilities are always nice and clean as well.

    (Translated by Google) Amazing fitness! First and foremost, an experience. You enter here in a nice atmosphere. There are an incredible number of benefits here. You can use the fitness, participate in all group classes or go to the crossfit. A luxury in terms of shower and sauna use with all the trimmings. Afterwards it is still fun chatting in a super cozy sitting area with a coffee or tea from the house. ***** (Original) Waanzinnige fitness! Eerst en Vooral, een beleving. Je komt hier binnen in een fijne sfeer. Er zijn hier ongelofelijk veel voordelen. Je kan zowel de fitness gebruiken, als deelnemen aan alle groepslessen of naar de crossfit gaan. Een luxe qua douche en sauna gebruik met alles erop en eraan. Achteraf is het nog gezellig keuvelen in een super gezellige zithoek met een koffie of thee van het huis. *****

    (Translated by Google) I had such a good courage to get fit here for a year. 2month I persisted. Reason ... When they signed up, they said that they do not support excessive weights because they do not want "cramped" people in their fitness. And I thought that was good because then I would not feel so comfortable. But every time I walked in it seemed like a match to what you looked like or what you did. I was totally uncomfortable. As if everyone was watching you. you do not dare to go to the extreme because I had the "sneaky" feeling here. It is a shame because it is a beautiful building and great for the free fruit + drinks !!! They were always very friendly! There should be more walking equipment. Greetings (Original) Ik had zo'n goede moed om hier een jaar te fitnesse . 2maand Heb ik het volgehouden. Reden... Bij het inschrijven zeiden ze dat ze geen te hoge gewichten aanhangen omdat ze geen "bekakt" volk willen in hun fitness. En dat vond ik goed omdat ik mezelf dan niet zo op mijn gemak zou voelen. Maar elke keer ik daar binnenkwam leek het mij een wedstrijdje hoe je eruit zag of wat je deed. Ik voelde mij totaal niet op mijn gemak. Alsof iedereen je bekeek. je durft niet tot het uiterste te gaan omdat ik juist het "bekakt" gevoel hier wel had. Spijtig want het is een mooi pand en tof van het gratis fruit + drinken!!! Ze waren altijd zeer vriendelijk! Er zouden wel meer looptoestellen mogen komen. Groetjes

    The people behind the counter have an attitude as if they are doing you a favor by talking to you at all. My headphones were stolen and nothing was done about it. They did not help in the search and I was not allowed to view the camera images. Because I insisted on seeing these images, my contact was stopped. I would say STAY AWAY, if you are looking for a gym with a person who shows respect, this is not the ideal place!
