At The Brick, we believe that strength comes in many forms — not just in muscles and discipline, but in the choices we make every day. From the equipment we use to the brands we work with, we like our community to be as kind to the planet as it is to itself.

Some people work out to sweat, Maya moves to connect. Born and raised in Amsterdam, she’s always been curious about the link between body, mind, and energy—and at The Brick, she brings that spark to the front desk every day. Warm, welcoming… with a dash of chaos. But that’s part of her charm: wherever she is, there’s always movement, laughter, and great energy.

Some kids spend their childhood glued to a screen. Vincent? He was usually halfway up a climbing wall, on a hiking trail, or learning how to sail — the kind of family where “day off” meant “find your sneakers.” Growing up in Schoten with an older brother who seemed to be good at everything, Vincent learned early that if you want to stand out, you work for it. And for him, sport was the way.

Some people train to stay fit. Louise Seghers trains for the love of movement itself. A licensed physiotherapist from Antwerp with a Master’s in Sports Nutrition she got in Madrid, Louise is all about the full picture: movement & food, combined with lifestyle—no shortcuts, no gimmicks.

The secret is out! Allow us to introduce your new premium destination in ‘t Groen Kwartier. Get ready to experience the next evolution of The Brick.
