The sun is back! Spring is starting to point its shy nose. Brace for a long one!! (the newsletter… not the fleeting and capricious warmth, although one can live in hope). Lots of things happening and to share, reason why I’ll keep the intro short so you still have the will to read through what matters below.
Enjoy the read fam! :)
1. 2026 Agenda
Check out our Q2 events here!
- Weightlifting Seminar – Saturday 25 April
The usual workshop led by our top-tier coach Julien to elevate your game and bring you to new Weightlifting heights
- EU day 3.0 – Saturday 9 May
Join us for our 3rd edition EU themed Open day! This year we will aim to revamp the approach with a half-day of fun/short workouts spreadout over the morning with special prizes for those of you who bring outside members for our referral program. As always we’ll have snacks, games, good vibes and (fingers crossed) sun!
- Running Workship #1 – May (TBC)
Spring/Summer season is back and with it our annual outdoor running sessions. Get out of the box and throw your running shoes on with coach Roman. Be ready to set the Cinquentenaire track on fire! For newcomers, make the most of the impressive worldclass running experience led by former Romanian Athletics Federation pro runner turned coach Roman (and he’s super nice)
- Murph Day – Monday 25 May (Bank hols)
Join us for our annual fun day of suffering through this legendary workout. Time to test your squat, pull-ups and push-ups endurance… and let’s not forget the runners’ delight buy-in and buy-out miles :p (we see you running haters hiding behind the AB machines… come out and plaaay).
2. News & updates
- Heads up! Those of you who ordered some STMN merch and/or Tshirts, we have received both! Check with us at the desk to finally rock your branded White Bull T while wearing your brand new wrist bands or setting the floor on fire with your sleek jump rope.
- You might have seen the post online but we are accepting new members again so if some of your friends were eagerly awaiting, don’t forget our referral program, for every new membership you get 1 month off and the new joiner gets registration fees offered.
- Our brand new website is alive and kicking and we’re very proud of it! Give it a visit and share at will!
- Following our collaboration announcement in last month’s NL. 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.
- Let’s come back to our now race to 1000 sessions!! A huge bravo to our 2 first members that broke the 500 sessions barrier! Congrats Andrea Arsenio and Gisela!! Come and collect your 500 sessions sticker. And to all the other members having broken the “100 sessions barrier”, well done! Check if you are part of the 100 sesh’ heroes in the updated list of names here. Let’s see who’s the first to get to 1000 sessions! Although it looks like our two leaders will be hard to catch :) #raceto1000
3. Competition Corner
Upon popular demand and following a few discussions, we are creating a new heading for our NL to share the agenda of various CrossFit competitions across Belgium and neighbouring countries. This will hopefully help those interested to look into these, register, submit any online qualifiers required and possibly experience their first live competition :)
First things first - HYROX
Congrats to all our amazing members who took part in the Mechelen Hyrox race (27-29 March)! You guys aced it and we’re super proud!
