| QUALITY IS NOT AN ACT, IT’S A HABIT |
 |
| As with many tales of ancient lore, our story begins on a sunlit isle. It is called Etoliko, nestled on Greece’s western coast. The year is not 400 B.C. but 1992 and young Spiros is about to start his journey. Spiros was no ordinary island boy. Blessed with boundless energy and determination, he pursued sports with a fervor unparalleled. From his earliest steps, a ball was his constant companion, and it was clear that this was more than a mere pastime—it was a destiny. |
 |
| At the age of 17, echoing the great heroes before him like Odysseus and Achilles, who ventured beyond their homelands, Spiros left his tranquil island paradise for the dynamic energy of the capital. Once in Athens, he immersed in the study of physical education and sports science. Since 2011, he has labored in his field to nothing less than perfection. |
 |
| But it seemed the gods had even more in store for our young hero. At 28, a chance trip led him to Antwerp. What began as a simple visit soon turned into a profound love affair. Much like Helen’s beauty captivated Paris, so did Antwerp’s unique blend of historic charm and modern vibrancy completely enchanted Spiros. Not a man to shy away from a gamble he made the boldest of decisions and moved to the city we all love. In Antwerp, his passions—music and fitness—merged as harmoniously as Apollo’s lyre and bow. His interests soon led him to The Brick, a sanctuary that became his second home over the past two years. While he started out as a deejay it soon became apparent there was much more to him than met the eye. One try-out led to another and the rest is STRONG history. |
 |
| Before joining The Brick, Spiros aka SIDËL was a famous DJ in Greece, spinning house music that moved the soul. When he arrived here, he brought that rhythmic magic with him. If you wonder what that sounds like, you can find his latest Spotify playlist below. But the story is not over, it is only getting started, his quest for excellence doesn’t end with beats and burpees. Ever striving to improve, he is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Strength and Conditioning. For him, quality is not merely an act but a habit, echoing Aristotle’s timeless wisdom. This dedication drives him to elevate every endeavor, helping others achieve their own heroic feats. |
 |
| Thus unfolds the tale of Spiros, from the sunlit shores of Etoliko to the vibrant streets of Antwerp. And here at The Brick, we are honored to be part of this ongoing adventure. Go check out his STRONG classes on Saturday! To be continued… |

So a friendly reminder for everyone: Reservations are only possible from 06:30 ‘till 22:00. It’s a very flexible system but cancelations have to be done 4 hours before the starting hour of the class. The system is now fully automated so no more exceptions can be made. Cancel your classes on time through the app and don’t forget to check in on all locations with your QR-code, badge or card.
