the story of grow

the grow philosophy.

 

Our mission is to offer you a safe environment to focus on your health and well-being. As we guide you through the process of reaching your personal health and fitness  goals, we tailor the exercise to your individual level and needs.

 

We believe that growth requires patience, balance, commitment and consistency - and these qualities you can always expect from us.

 

our story.

 

In 2016 we were called "Athletic Performance" with a goal to offer holistic functional training coached by highly educated professionals with sports and physiotherapy backgrounds.

The fitness industry at the time was overflowing with loud music, posing and unrealistic expectations, where the client was often intimidated or treated secondary. We believed in the opposite - the client-focused training programme that served joint protection, injury prevention, and general strength and conditioning improvement.

 

As our community continued to grow, we felt the need to take care of our members in a more holistic way offering a variety of training options, nutrition coaching, and individualised movement screening.

 

we grow for you.

 

As health specialists in the health and sports industry, it is our mission to learn and continue to develop every day.

 

With a solid background in sports science, kinesiology, and physiotherapy, our team constantly studies and participates in continuing education in these areas.

 

We base our programming on knowledge and field-tested experiences. We are certified by CFSC (Certified Functional Strength Coach) which is part of MBSC (Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning, USA). Mike Boyle is one of the foremost experts in the fields of Strength and Conditioning, Functional Training and general fitness. Owner and founder of grow, Pieter Smeets, did his coaching internship at the world class strength and conditioning center of MBSC, voted no. 1 gym in the USA by Men’s Health.
