The best sports classes in Amsterdam according to the Barts Boekje team

Working out, but preferably in a way that makes us want to come back voluntarily tomorrow. From reformer pilates and barre to boxing, CrossFit, and yoga: Amsterdam is bursting with gyms and classes to work up a sweat – or simply to clear your head. We asked the Barts Boekje team what they prefer to put on their workout leggings for, and a pretty varied list came out of it. One place for really pushing yourself, another for stretching and breathing. And okay, a sauna afterwards too. Because balance.

Pilates, Barre & lots of core

Strength & Conditioning

  • CrossFit Determined – CrossFit at the Veemkade. For better lifting, jumping, running, and rowing.
  • The Set Gym – strength training and personal training.
  • The Workout Lab – West – strength training and group classes, from Power to Circuit and HIIT. They also have a location in De Pijp.

Boxing

Yoga

  • Stretch and Fold – yoga and movement in Amsterdam-Noord. After your sports class, also take a dip in the pool and sauna!
  • Sportstudio 79 gets to appear on the list twice this time, because you can indulge your love of yoga there too.
