About us

At The Social Health Club, our mission is simple: we make working on your health realistic and fun. We believe that real and lasting results come from a plan that truly fits your unique lifestyle. Forget extreme diets, unattainable training schedules and short-term solutions. Our focus is on sustainable habits that you can maintain and that make you feel vital and energetic.

To make health as accessible and easy as possible, we once started a revolutionary service: a complete gym in an electric cargo bike.

No more excuses, because we'll come to you at a location of your choice for personalized and effective training. This philosophy of convenience is still at the heart of everything we do, including at our permanent location at The Social Health Club. Do you have a busy day, no time to stop by, or do you prefer to train outside? Then we'll just cycle to you.

What they say

Elke week ga ik met heel veel plezier naar de bootcamp lessen in het Vondelpark. Govert geeft duidelijke, gestructureerde en uitdagende lessen. Ik voel me altijd zeer voldaan na een les en voel in mijn lijf dat ik elke spier heb getraind! Ik kan the Social Health Club zeer aanraden!!

Ik train al een tijdje bij Govert van The Social Health Club en het is fantastisch! Govert is een heel vriendelijke, enthousiaste en deskundige man! Zijn privétrainingen van een uur op maat zijn precies wat ik nodig heb! Ik kom gewoon, doe wat hij zegt en een uur later heb ik het bevredigende gevoel dat ik iets goeds heb gedaan voor mijn specifieke fysieke behoeften. Hij is heel creatief in het veranderen van de oefeningen, zodat het niet saai wordt en de progressie gestaag is. En het mooie is dat hij heel flexibel is in zijn schema! Ik kan altijd trainen op de tijden die ik wil. Bovendien kunnen we, omdat hij een bakfiets gebruikt, die is uitgerust met de nodige trainingsapparatuur, zelfs bij mij thuis trainen! Hoe superhandig is dat :)!

Govert is een deskundige en betrokken personal trainer die mij sinds begin 2020 helpt om consequent te trainen, beter voor mijn lijf te zorgen en vooral ook mijn bloedwaardes aanzienlijk te verbeteren. Hij motiveert op een rustige maar duidelijke manier, let goed op techniek en weet precies wanneer hij mij net dat beetje extra kan pushen, waardoor ik mij sterker en fitter voel en gezonder ben dan in jaren.

Altijd heerlijk trainen met Govert! Zelfs op dagen dat je eigenlijk geen zin hebt, weet hij je toch op een fijne manier te motiveren. Govert voelt heel goed aan wat je lichaam nodig heeft, past de trainingen erop aan, waardoor je je na elke training heerlijk voelt. Technisch sterk, door een rustige en doordachte opbouw zijn de klachten aan mijn schouder helemaal verdwenen. Govert is deskundig, gezellig en heel betrokken. Door zijn ontspannen en persoonlijke aanpak heb je bijna niet het idee dat je aan het trainen bent. Kortom, echt een top trainer!

Mijn partner en ik zijn onlangs begonnen met trainen bij Govert in de Social Health Club om in topvorm te komen voor onze bruiloft. De trainingen zijn leuk en uitdagend, en zorgen er tegelijkertijd voor dat we alle spiergroepen trainen met een gevarieerd aanbod aan oefeningen die niet snel saai worden. Govert is prettig in de omgang en is erg meegaand. Een echte aanrader!

I no longer see the gym as an obligation. Now I love going there because the feeling I have after exercising makes it all worthwhile.

We highly recommend Charan, our PT trainer at Workoutspace. He thinks along with us, knows what he's talking about and really knows how to activate and motivate us. We are glad that he was our trainer.

Review about coach Jasmine: Jasmine both worked at this gym and at my previous gym (van Wou). Jazzy is always friendly and welcoming when you enter the club. She is always down for a chat and keeps an eye on me if I have a question now and then. In addition, she herself is also doing a great job as a personal trainer and coach for the people she supervises.

Just had my first Intake PT session with Jasmine and it was amazing! In a short time, she addressed my main concerns and interests, made me feel comfortable with the equipment around me and asking questions, and she was very professional and knowledgeable about everything. I definitely recommend her! I'm a beginner myself, but she was able to adapt well to my needs and my lack of gym experience, and I'm very grateful for that. It made the experience a lot less exciting and even fun, and you know you're training safely and in the best possible way. Thanks for that! 😉

Govert really knows how to motivate you, always happy and with the right energy. Exercise at a location of your choice, outside in the fresh air. What more do you want?

What a fantastic boot camp training that was! Govert creates a varied program that is suitable for all levels, with enough challenge and a bit of humor to keep things light.

I recently started training with Govert from The Social Health Club. I notice that he has a lot of experience with post-natal training. His striking cargo bike is full of the best training equipment, making it feel like a full-fledged outdoor gym. He also really takes advantage of the outdoor environment, making every workout different and challenging. A delicious protein shake afterwards completes the experience.

Super fun boot camp session on the beach in Zandvoort, led by Govert! Professional guidance, enthusiastic and accessible to all levels. Govert provided mats and other equipment, so we only had to bring sportswear and a good mood. We had a fantastic afternoon. Definitely recommended!

Training at The Social Health Club is fantastic! It's lovely outside and everything is perfectly arranged. Varied exercises and all equipment (from dumbbells to boxing pads) are simply available. And most importantly, Govert is a fantastic trainer!

Great PT sessions and boot camp. Since I'm not a big fan of going to the gym, this is the perfect solution for me. With the customized training schedule that Govert has set up for me, including all my injuries, I can finally train safely and confidently again. And the variety in the exercises he prepares makes it even more fun!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum or maximum age?
No, everyone is welcome. Thanks to our personal guidance, we tailor each training to your age and physical level, so that you always train safely and responsibly.
What is open gym?
With the Open Gym subscription, you reserve a place to train independently, so that you always have enough space and equipment. Open Gym is exclusively accessible in combination with Personal or Small Group Training, so you can train safely and efficiently. Of course, you can also use the sauna and other facilities.
Are there showers and lockers?
Yes, we have modern changing rooms with secure lockers and luxurious shower facilities, so you can freshen up right after your workout.
What are the opening hours?
You can train whenever it suits you. For free training, we are open 7 days a week from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Personal Training takes place by appointment and can be scheduled flexibly within these opening hours in consultation.
Can I book a trial lesson or day pass?
Sure. We would like to invite you to experience the atmosphere. You can easily request a trial lesson via our website or just drop in.
Do you also offer group lessons?
At our location, we offer Small Group Training with a maximum of 5 people. You train in a small group with a lot of personal attention, combining group motivation with the quality of personal training. In addition, we provide weekly outdoor boot camp lessons in the Martin Luther King Park, Vondelpark and Bella Vista park.
What types of training are we going to do?
We use a mix of functional strength training, endurance training, core stability and mobility exercises. If desired, we can also use specific forms, such as boxing or pilates. By varying, your body stays stimulated and the training sessions will never be boring.
Do I need to have a certain fitness level to become a member?
Absolutely not. Whether you're touching a weight for the first time or you're an experienced athlete, our workouts are always tailored to your level. We scale the intensity and technique so that you train safely and effectively.
What results can I expect?
In addition to improved fitness and more strength, you can count on more energy, less stress and better posture. As we work towards a sustainable lifestyle, you'll find that you're not only physically changing, but you'll also feel mentally stronger.
How long do I have to train with you to achieve my goal?
This depends on your goal, but most members see significant changes in their energy levels and strength after 4 to 6 weeks. You often experience a good feeling right after the start because the switch has been turned, but permanent transformations require time and consistency. We will support you in this in the long term.
What does a training look like?
Each session starts with a dynamic warm-up to prepare your body, followed by a core of strength or endurance training tailored to the day's focus. We'll end with a cool down and, if you want, a short chat.
What makes The Social Health Club different from any other gym?
With us, you are not a number, but part of a community. Where regular gyms often focus on equipment alone, we focus on the combination of physical training under personal guidance, relaxation and social connection. We offer the expertise of personal training with the fun of a club.
How many times a week should I train?
For optimal results, we recommend an average of 2 to 4 times a week. This gives your body sufficient incentives to change, while also leaving plenty of room for recovery.
