Monthly short NL - June + Price increase September 2025 (for those who missed the long NL :)

White Bull CrossFit June 17, 2025 at 12:09 PM

Holly jolly June, we are at the doorstep of Summer holidays, and with it half a year of fitness has gone by already. No doubt many PRs, achievements, strength, movements and skills unlocked… ready to kill it with our functional beach bodies ;)

1. 2025 Agenda

All our dates and events can be found here for 2025.

Next events you will not want to miss:

  • Outdoor fun event – Saturday 28th of June

Time to take it outside of our beloved box and meet up in a cool spot in Brussels. The idea is to spend some quality time together (for those of us unlucky souls not planning to be on a beach somewhere tropical over the summer) , have some drinks, games in park… if you have any ideas or suggestions, do reach out and let us know :)

  • Weightlifting Seminar #2 - Snatch – Sunday 6th of July

Given the popularity of our first edition, we’re bringing back Ensocoaching for valuable WL tips and tricks and techniques. Same focus: the Snatch. Limited registration slots as always so don’t wait too long to book and secure your spot in the app! This would normally cost 35€ pax but we cover 25€ for unlimited memberships and we will cover 10€ for limited memberships. I.e. it will only cost you 10€ (unlimited) and 25€ (limited).

2.1 IMPORTANT - Pricing Update

When we opened our doors on January 15th, 2024, our idea was clear: bring CrossFit and fitness to as many people as possible in the center of Brussels, and to provide an exceptional service to our members.

We have been chasing that goal for 15 months and made several improvements to the gym since then:

  • More classes ; notably 2 AM classes every day of the week and, as from the summer, 4 classes on weekends, and Free Open Gym access every day and 0 days of closure since the opening!
  • Diversity ; with the addition of Endurance, Yoga, Barbell Cycling and Hyrox (albeit with a different membership) and the new, upcoming Rx Academy class
  • Operations ; an efficient booking system, constantly improving (aka new waiting list functionality, WODs published in advance), a clearer and better communication (daily response to emails/messages, WhatsApp groups, Newsletters)
  • Members benefits ; free coffee, access to snacks and drinks, a cosier lobby area, exclusive discounts on several brands (Stamina, NutriPure, TYR, GoWOD)
  • Community ; with regular hosting of parties, seminars, workshops - all at no additional costs
  • Equipment : many investments made, from new machines, weights, barbells and other smaller ones, too many to count!
  • Back of the box : improvements made to locker rooms

Although we will continue to improve and invest in the space and operations, we believe the current rate of our memberships does not reflect the value of our service nor the current competitive landscape in Brussels.

In a context of increasing costs, we’ve noticed that we are, at the moment, the cheapest (by far) CrossFit gym in Brussels’ downtown. With the following rate increase, we will realign our rates while staying one of the cheapest, to stay aligned with our vision of offering a premium fitness experience (while remaining reasonably priced).

This rate increase does not come alone. We’re making changes to your membership to also reflect this increase, including:

  • The inclusion of Hyrox classes in all unlimited memberships (no more add-ons!). This will come with an increased number of classes to ensure enough availability for everyone!
  • More classes: 4 hours every weekend days with the brand-new “Rx Academy / Competitors’ class” on Saturdays
  • More material / investments coming: we’ll gradually renew our cardio machines, replace the weightlifting platform and continue optimizing our space
  • More events: you’ve already noticed we’ve stepped up our game with around 2 events every month - we’ll be looking at continuing this while incorporating your feedback for more competitions and casual gatherings.

Please find below the new rates:

Unlimited Memberships:

  • 12 months: from 99€ to 119€
  • 6 months: from 129€ to 139€
  • 3 months: from 139€ to 149€

Limited Memberships:

  • 12 months: from 74.25€ to 95.2€
  • 6 months: from 96.75€ to 104.25€
  • 3 months: from 104.25€ to 111.75€

NEW - Open gym only Membership: 79€

    These new rates will take place as from September 1st.

    We’re communicating in advance to leave you enough time to ask questions, consider your choice and think about your decision.

    Everyone will have the option to cancel their membership free of charge even if their commitment date is after September 1st. If you wish to do so, you need to inform us by August 20th the latest.

    After that date, we will assume that you agree with the above mentioned new rates.

    2.2 News & updates

    Thank you to everyone who took part in our survey and took some time out to share your thoughts and feelings. This is very useful and valuable information for us to improve your experience even more. Hopefully you already notice small details here and there but certainly more to come:

    • We are aware of the lack of space/bars for muscle-up and are working towards a solution
    • We will be testing and implementing a slightly modified schedule over the summer with additional classes and shift in some of the existing ones to maximise availability
    • Summer holidays schedule – all classes stay the same for now (see above) but based on attendance, we may adjust accordingly (e.g. having 1 class in the morning/removing 8pm. If attendance remains high, we’re happy to maintain classes as they are
    • We do our very best to keep our box clean and spend a lot of time cleaning but we also need your help. From June onwards, we will have a shoe rack at the entrance and a box with water-solution at the entrance to clean your shoes before entering the box (we would encourage everyone to train with gym only shoes different than your city shoes if possible)
    • We already organise a lot of activities and events compare to most boxes but we understand you all want simple drinks/get togethers
    • Although CrossFit and most compound/functional fitness movements actually include core activation. We will try to include a few more core finishers for you abb junkies ;)

    Thank you to everyone who took part in our survey and took some time out to share your thoughts and feelings. This is very useful and valuable information for us to improve your experience even more. Hopefully you already notice small details here and there but certainly more to come:

    • a fridge to store your food
    • a microwave to reheat your food
    • coffee machine
    • access to the garden

      3. New (summer) schedule

      As of week 7-13 July, we will implement our new schedule, first as a “test” over the summer but if it flows well we will roll-out as of September and for the foreseeable future:

      • Monday and Tuesday lunch class (1 instead of 2 due to low attendance) from 12h30 to 1.30pm
      • Wednesday - 8.10pm back to normal CrossFit (and second hour over lunch kept for Hyrox class) - Yoga is replaced by mobility on Sunday 1o am for now.
      • Thursday 1 - 2pm - Introducing “Skill class” (low intensity technique & focus) following normal CrossFit class 12 - 1pm
      • Friday - two crossFit lunch classes (12 - 1pm & 1-2pm)
      • Extra spots (20) and extra classes on weekends:
      • Saturday - 1 - 2.30pm - introducing “RX academy/Competitor class” (similar to “train with the coach”) - 6 months experience in CrossFit required & ability to perform all standard movements.
      • Sunday - 10am - mobility (all other classes moved by 1 hour: Hyrox 11am, Partner wod 12pm and Weightlifting 1pm)

      Much love!

      Yours truly, WB

      Wim Hof Breathing Session

      White Bull CrossFit June 1, 2025 at 10:55 AM

      WB fam,

      FR

      Dispo samedi prochain 7 Juin et pas d'idée sur que faire en début d'après-midi? 

      La puissance du corps à travers le souffle

      Avez-vous déjà entendu parler de Wim Hof, surnommé “The Iceman”, pour ses exploits extrêmes liés au froid ? Peut-être avez-vous vu passer sur les réseaux les adeptes de sa méthode qui plongent dans des eaux glacées, mais saviez-vous que la méthode repose en réalité sur 3 piliers ?

      1. L’exposition au froid
      2. La respiration
      3. L’engagement mental

      On vous propose une première initiation à la respiration Wim Hof, encadrée par un instructeur certifié : Benoît, alias benthecoldcoach.

      Au programme (1h15 environ) :

      • Comprendre les fondements de cette technique respiratoire puissante
      • Explorer les bienfaits concrets pour la pratique sportive (performance, récupération, gestion du stress)
      • Pratiquer une séance guidée pour ressentir par vous-même les effets

      Comme le dit souvent Wim :

      Cette expérience directe vous convaincra de la force de cette méthode.

      Rendez-vous le 7 juin à 14h à la box.

      • Il est conseillé d’être à jeun, ou en tout cas de ne pas avoir mangé trop lourd dans les heures qui précèdent l’atelier
      • N'hésitez pas à vous habiller confortablement et à emmener un plaid pour vous couvrir.  
      • Aucun prérequis particulier, venez comme vous êtes !

      Enregistrement via l'app - Seminars & Workshops!!

      Available next saturday 7 June and not sure what to do early afternnon?

      The power of your body through breathing

      Have you heard of Wim Hof, also known as “The Iceman”, famous for his extreme feats in the cold? You’ might have seen his followers on social media diving into icy waters — but did you know his method is actually based on three core pillars?

      1. Cold exposure
      2. Breathing
      3. Mental commitment

      We are offering a first introduction to Wim Hof breathing, led by certified instructor Benoît, aka benthecoldcoach.

      Full session (approx. 1h15):

      • Understand the foundations of this powerful breathing technique
      • Explore the real benefits for sports (performance, recovery, stress management)
      • Experience a guided session to truly feel the effects personally

      As Wim often says: “Feeling is understanding.”

      This first live experience will show you the true strength of the method.

      See you on June 7th at 2PM at the box.

          • It's recommended to come on an emtpy stomach or avoid having eaten too heavily beforehand
          • Wear something comfortable, and feel free to bring a blanket to stay warm
          • No experience required — just come as you are!
