*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!

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' workshop12 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

Next week heatwave

White Bull CrossFit 21 juin 2026 à 12:24

Aloha fam,

As you have (painfully) noticed. The heatwave is on and real.

Next week will be particularly meltingly spicy with high temps of 35-37.

As such and more so than usual:

  • hydrate as much as possible/needed during your workouts (and before/after)
  • ⁠if you feel unwell or dizzy at any point please stop or take a break (no workout is worth putting yourself in « danger »)
  • ⁠given the litres of sweat 💦 we’re about to lose please go the extra mile and think of cleaning up behind you/after your workout
  • be mindful of members (& coaches) who may be more sensitive to high temperatures
  • remember your health and wellbeing is our priority (not “always” 1 rep more or 1sec faster 😜) 

Thank you for your collaboration and understanding.

Much love and see you at the box (through the sweat running down our faces and burning in our eyes 🥵)

WB

Monthly newsletter (short version) June 26

White Bull CrossFit 15 juin 2026 à 23:30

1. 2026 Agenda

Check out our Q2 events here!

    • Running workshop #3  – 20 June

    Another Saturday (hopefully with good weather) to test and improve your running skills with coach Roman at the cinquantenaire athletics/running track! Book your spot in activities/workshops in the app!

    • Summer Comp – 5 July

    It is back! Our summer team competition day just before a lot of you go off on well-deserved break or homeland family-time. Details are now out! Add your team name (M/M or F/F on the sheet in the lobby (entrance door to the box).

    • Ladies' Core/Pelvic strength workshop – 1 August tbc (or September if too many absentees)

    See explanation in news & updates below

    • 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 

    2. News & updates

    • Open-gym – let’s start with the elephant in the room and unavoidable annoying one. As our box continues to thrive we always try to optimise the space and make it as comfortable as possible while being as flexible as possible and keeping a precious balance. That being said as the back of the room gets more and more crowded (particularly during peak evening hours – 6pm and 7pm), it is crucial to keep that in mind and although we will aim to continue to be flexible and for our members to communicate and share the space like adults it seems we might have to be a bit stricter. Please, if you see that it’s getting crowed or that some coaches are training (because there is no other time slot for them to train) and that the 2 OG spots are already taken, avoid spending time stretching, doing a finisher etc. Those who want to stay and chat we have space in the lobby and a comfortable couch ;) If we end up being 10 people at the back it just makes it much less manageable and comfortable for the classes (they always take priority)
    • That being said, and to follow-up on the above, as we are always aiming to improve, go forward and create solutions, we are working on a little project that hopefully will improve the class and OG experience. More to come soon :)
    • As we aim to bring you the most holistic and thoughtful approach to fitness and well-being, we continue to question, discuss and grow in our process as a box and box-owners. Along the way, our offer hopefully evolves too and we are aware of course of physiological differences between men and women working out. Core and pelvic engagement can be difficult to visualise and lead to challenges within a CrossFit workout. Obviously although we and all of our coaches take this into account and we always include exercises in our warm-ups it might not be sufficient if this is a specific weakness or issue that can hinder your performance and comfort in a wod. We will thus be hosting a “Women Core/Pelvic strength seminar-workshop” with pre-post natal and women specialist coach Nica Saturday 1 August. The 2h will focus on some theory and some practice. If there is demand and response we might host future ones. (BUT, don’t say what we didn’t say lol core and pelvic engagement are also very important and good for men, whether translated into powerlifting, weightlifting, gymnastics or functional fitness. So gents although this is mainly for the ladies for now, don’t snooze on your tight abs…ooze…?)
    • This week we finish the Clean & Jerk cycle with a bang and natural(ly) Grace (CrossFitter joke)… As of next week, we will have a Weightlifting and Gymnastics benchmark week and follow that with a new 5-week cycle focussing on Cardio/endurance
    • Summer schedule: As of July we will have slighlty reduced class times to account for the holidays. Mostly:
      • No 8h30 morning class (except Friday to be reassessed at later point)
      • No 1pm lunch class (except Thursday gym & Friday to be reassessed at later point)
      • No 8pm crossfit class on Wendesday / No 8pm Hyrox on Thursday 
      • No 7pm Endurance on Friday
      • No 9am Saturday class

    We wil evaluate throughout the summer and adapt based on how the 2 months go

    3. Competition Corner
