"Hi, I’m Laurens. I’ve been working in the fitness industry since 2002, and at AIKON gym since 2018. At AIKON gym, my role involves, among other things, developing the gym and ensuring the quality of our coaching and the services we offer. At the same time, I still love being out on the gym floor, helping members achieve their goals.

Cycling is my favorite sport, so it won’t come as a surprise that you’ll also regularly find me leading the Indoor Cycling classes!"

"I'm Marja, and you can find me at the front desk, in the gym and during our group classes. I teach BBB, Aikon Rox and Dance Fit. As a trainer, I believe it's important to help you reach your goals and find exercises that support recovery and overall wellbeing.

"Hi, I'm Franzi! I'm a certified yoga teacher and have been teaching at Aikon Gym for almost two years now. My classes combine Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, starting by moving the body with the breath and then transitioning into longer-held poses that help release tension and create space for relaxation.

I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in Norway, and since then yoga has become a set part of my life. It's a way to slow down, reconnect, and find balance in everyday life. Altough balance is something I enjoy helping others discover on the mat, I'm still known to trip over my own feet on a daily basis.

Looking forward to seeing you in class!"

I love helping you discover what your body is capable of, while making sure you leave each class feeling good.

"Hi, I'm Veronika from Slovakia, and I'm a Pilates instructor at Aikon Gym. Movement and staying active have been my passion since I was young. I believe Pilates is not only a great way to build strenght and improve mobility, but also a beautifull way to connect with your body and calm your mind. My classes are all about good energy, great music and moving your body in a way that feels both challenging and enjoyable.

Come join me on the mat!"

"Hey, I'm Noa!

I've been working at Aikon Gym as a fitness trainer since March. I discovered weightlifting in the US back in 2019 and instantly fell in love with it, which eventually led me to become a certified fitness trainer.

I love helping people get stronger, build confidence, and discover what their bodies are capable of - through consistent training. That's exactly the feeling I hope to help others experience too.

I'm always up for a chat about training, life, or anything in between and always looking to learn something new.

See you around in the gym!"

"My name is Birgit, and I have been working at Aikon Gym as a yoga and Pilates instructor since 2020. I teach various styles of yoga, including Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin Yoga.

Yoga is my passion and, to me, it is about much more than just movement. I love seeing how yoga can help you become stronger and more flexible, while also allowing you to experience more peace, body awareness and connection with yourself. In my classes, I believe it is important that everyone feels welcome, safe and comfortable, regardless of their experience or level.

Whether you are looking to build strength, improve flexibility, relax or simply take a moment for yourself, I hope to inspire you in my classes to move in a way that feels right for you.

See you at Aikon Gym!"

"Hi! I’m Amelia, originally from Berlin, Germany, and I teach AikonROX at Aikon Gym.

Sport has been my passion for as long as I can remember. From tennis and CrossFit to four years of boxing, during which I proudly won bronze at the German Championships, I have always loved challenging myself and pushing my limits.

HYROX has now become my biggest passion, and I dedicate a lot of time, energy and commitment to it. I love competing, staying active and inspiring others to get the best out of themselves. What defines me most is my positive energy, discipline and love for an active lifestyle.

I can’t wait to share my passion and energy with you during my AikonROX classes.

See you soon!"
