White Bull CrossFit

WB fam,

Following our summer polls. You asked. We listened :)

First of all thank you for taking part, continuing to share and communicate with us. We will revert soon on the coaching poll and suggestions on what we could do « better/differently » soon here and on the app+ watch the space for our next NL (maybe even with some exciting news 👀😉)

Here’s our follow-up on what you’d like to see more of. We genuinely want White Bull to keep evolving around our community and you all, who train hard and make this place what it is. Not every suggestion can become reality or happen overnight but we do our best to tailor and improve your experience with us.

(sorry free massages and free cookies after every WOD” isn’t a sustainable business model 😉😋)

But we’ve been reading, discussing and,  most importantly, acting on your feedback.

What this means…  NEW classes and a brand new updated White Bull schedule & specialty classes coming to you soon 👀

Beginning of September you can look out for:

CROSSFIT BASICS - Friday 7 - 8pm 

For beginners and members (particularly within first 30 days) who would like to go back to basics and work a bit more on foundations

Dedicated small-group class focused on learning and refining the fundamental movements of CrossFit — squats, hinges, presses, push, pull, lifting & basics.

Less intensity. More time to focus on weaknesses. More time to ask questions and build confidence.

Perfect for beginners/rookie members, anyone returning after a long break or injury, or anyone who feels they’d like to or need to sharpen the basics.

CrossFit basics will be available for all - unlimited and limited members or voucher-pass holders (will use one of your sessions) 🙏🏼

We hope this will help in building confidence and make newer members who feel a little lost more comfortable in the long-run.

And for our unlimited members - specialty classes update:

YOGA — additional class - Saturday - 8am 

You asked for more mobility and recovery work, so we’re adding a second weekly Yoga class.

An extra opportunity to slow things down, breathe, improve mobility and flexibility, and give your body some much-needed respite between all the lifting, jumping, running and questionable life choices associated to CrossFit 😋

GYM - additional class - Thursday 8.30 - 9.30am

In case you’ve lived under a (small) Brussels-based statue, our specialised gym classes Thursday 13h-14h was/is the perfect opportunity to spend time focusing on honing honing your gym skills, unlocking that first pull-up or breaking through that first muscle-up. 

Rejoice, for those unable to make it over lunch, a second opportunity for you to improve and focus on gym movements Thursday mornings.

CORE & GLUTE PUMP - every two weeks - Thursday 5pm

Yes. You read that correctly.

A dedicated session for core, glutes and accessory strength — combining controlled strength work, compound movements, isolation exercises, bands, and a healthy amount of 🔥.

Useful for CrossFit. Crcucial for stronger legs and bracing, injury prevention and building a stronger body.

True, let’s be honest… also useful for filling out dem jeans across the gender spectrum too 🍑😉😎

WEIGHTLIFTING TECHNIQUE & BARBELL CYCLING — Friday 7 - 8.30pm & Sunday 12.10 - 13.10pm

A few of you were concerned that with coach Julien leaving there would be no opportunity to refine your lifting technique.

Fear not, our amazing Shaun will take the Friday nights over and will of course continue leading the Sunday Barbell cycling sessions.

• Friday evenings will continue focusing on technique, accessory and slow progress focusing on the little details and nitty-gritty bits to perfect your snatch and clean & jerk technique

• Sunday will continue focusing on control under speed & intensity. Where olympic lifting meets conditioning, focused on becoming more efficient with a barbell under fatigue: touch-and-go reps, pacing, transitions, grip management and learning when to hold on… and when putting the silly bar down is actually the smarter choice 🤓😉

WB PILATES - Monday & Friday 8.30 - 9.30am

Core control. Stability. Mobility. Strength.

Pilates is being added to the unlimited/specialty class offer with sessions designed to complement your CrossFit training: stronger trunk, better body awareness, healthier movement and potentially discovering muscles you had no idea existed.

The ab burn will be real ;)

And a perfect way to introduce our new Pilates coach  joining the WB coaching team

Meet Levente! 🫶🏼 We’re very happy to welcome him to the team!  (keep an eye on our team update coming soon for more info)

As always, our goal isn’t simply to offer more classes. It’s to offer more variety, additional targeted coaching and more ways for every one of you to train according to your goals.

Last but not least:

CROSSFIT KIDS — TRIAL Session - Saturday 10 Oct - 10 - 12pm

We will be testing a one-off (possibly first of many) parent/kids class combo morning, giving the mini bulls a chance to do some fitness and experience the box with their parents :) 

A fun, safe introduction to movement, fitness and CrossFit through games, teamwork and age-appropriate challenges led by our amazing Shaun  😎

No pressure. No barbells heavier than the children. 😇

If there’s enough interest, this could become something more regular — so team up with your miniature lookalikes and let’s get it! 💪🏼

With the exception of CrossFit Basics & CrossFit kids - these additional classes/offers will be included in your Unlimited membership. ❤️

As always, keep your ears open and eyes peeled for more details, launch dates, events, seminars/workshops coming to you end of 2026.

Keep giving us your feedback.

Keep telling us what works — and what doesn’t. These additions are here to serve your needs, profession and goals, of course if the classes remain empty and don’t fulfill their purpose we will review the need and adapt/review the new classes.

Your box. Your community. Your White Bull!  See us as facilitators to your holistic WB experience 🤜🏻🤛🏼🫶🏼❤️

Train hard. Stay humble. Spread love.

Hugs & lat activation

Bo & Yo

Hi fam,

Hopefully for those available you will have seen and saved the date already 😉

This Saturday (08/08) join us for our annual parc picnic/gathering:

- Where?  Parc royal (meet up at the Kiosk radio), well then share our live location depending on where we set up shop 😉

- ⁠When? Saturday as of 1.30pm (until you get sore from sitting on the grass or fed-up or maybe you feel like sleeping under the stars…)

- ⁠Logistics: we will have a few outdoorsy games but do bring what you have and picnic mats/drapes

- F&B: we will have some snackies and finger foods and a few drinks but do bring whatever you fancy as well as your favourite beverage 

Looking forward to chill together and have a laugh.

See you then!

Much love 🫶🏼

*addendum to Santos - Member of the month - the young blood (sorry for the app f*** up) Correct text: 

Our youngest member (15 years old!) deserves the top spot for June. Although he and his twin brother Simon initially started together, the latter pursued other interests while Santos perservered and showed up motivated and hungry to learn and progress alternating between CrossFit, Endurance, Gymnastics and Hyrox classes. Inspiring to say the least  If you bump into him, be sure to high-five and say hi to him!

1. 2026 Agenda

Check out our Q3 events here!

●      Casual/chillax apéritif – 23 July

No big plans, our outside area is yours for the evening (BBQ included). Bring a drink, a friend, yourself or be there in thought. Just chillaxing together for those available.

●      Summer parc picnic – 8 August

For the (un)lucky few spending Summer holidays around Brussels (at least you’ll have your favourite box/second home to welcome you, rejoice!). Similarly to last year, we’ll pick a spot in one of the parcs in the afternoon and send our location to meet-up for snacks, drinks and games ☺

●      Pelvic/Core ladies' workshop– 12 Sep

See below news and upate. Event based on confirmed attendance!

2. News & updates

●      Summer access for limited members. As posted in our Whatsapp Community, we are allowing limited members to experience specialty classes over the summer. Bookings work the same as usual and with the same wait/amount of max bookings you can hold at any one time 

●      We are thinking of adding new classes and given the limited time slot options and the whole logistics behind we’re opening up the floor to you, to get your views and maximise the options, please vote in the poll here. Below options fyi: 

o   Beginner’s / Basics class

o   Legends club (40+ only)

o   CrossFit kids

o   Ladies’s only pump sesh (lower body/core/pelvis)

o   Pilates

o   Second Yoga class Sunday afternoon 

●      And to follow-up on the last newsletter and the whatsapp poll on the Core/Pelvic workshop, thanks for all the votes and motivation . We have 40 potential interested ladies. The workshop will take place on Saturday September 12th – 1.30 – 3.30pm (save the date) with Certified coach Nica and her sister a specialised woman sports physiotherapist. As the cost is quite consistent and we want to make sure we have as little drop-out and last minute cancellation as possible, for unlimited members there will be a 15€ deposit  to be paid upon registration to confirm your presence, you will be reimbursed of the amount once the event takes place and you attend. For limited members and voucher holders there will be a 10€ payment to be made to confirm your attendance. You will be able to already book the session on the app in ‘Seminars & Workshops’ as of August. Thanks for your understanding

●      A little side note on jump ropes. You will have noticed the ropes at the box are starting to suffer and might not be ideal for DU. These are really meant to be there/used for newcomers or people that forget their ropes or don’t have one at the start of their CrossFit journey… If you have been doing CrossFit for a little while… at this point it’s almost criminal to not have your own jump rope :D Are you even taking this seriously?? Of course we do not aim to sell the ones we get via Velites (even though you get a discount and unless you are interested, in which case let us know). Otherwise here are a few top brands with various price categories:

o   Decathlon

o   Catgrips

o   Elite Jumps

o   Rogue

o   Velites

o   Rx smartgear

●      We are working on a little project to make your member experience with WB feel even more special and give you some real life perks in our beautiful city. More info to come soon. We are also aiming to simplify our order system for our WB merch, partner merch and food and beverage so you can go through a link and register your order directly online. To be continued...

o   As a follow-up, some of you will have seen the beautiful tote bags our team winners received, they are available for order as well as our neat coffee camper cups. We’ll launch an order at some point with another T-shirt round if demand is there

●      Please do not leave your belongings lying around in the dressing rooms. Respect the space as if it were your own space and respect others’ right to have a nice space too. Anything left behind will be discarded every weekend. Thank you for your understanding!

●      We are thinking of putting a penalty block on bookings in place for those who do not put their equipment back properly (whether Open Gym or class). Again please respect the space and think of others coming after you. Imagine, if everyone leaves the space cluttered/messy how it would look after just 1 or 2 days… Ditto! Thank you!

Reminders:

●      For newcomers or if you missed it, link to our previous June NL ☺

●      Get in touch for any Nutripure, Velites or other F&B/gear orders

●      Join our live Whatsapp Community. Gain access to all the latest updates, the member Forum and communicate with us directly. You will also access the various specialty class groups and can request access to the *Open Gym + 

●      Use our discount code WHITEBULL valid for your first sports massage booking with Nathalia Vredeveld, you will NOT regret it! Once you try her, you will want to go back.

●      Make the most of our referral program, free registration fees for your friend, 1-month free for you ☺
