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
- CORE40 Center Reformer Pilates. One of the explicit team favorites.
- Movements Studios | Hot Yoga & Pilates – Hot Pilates. And with hot we actually mean hot.
- FORM | Barre & Yoga – Barre and pilates/yoga-like workouts.
- Sports Studio 79 – with locations at NDSM and Onder de Bogen; great for Pilates and yoga, among other things.
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
- Underground Sports Club Amsterdam – for when you really want to work up a sweat.
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.
