September News Update
September 1, 2026
September is the new January! Let’s harness that back-to-school energy to set some goals. Two quick public service announcements for this month: The Prep Kitchen’s take away fridge has made its way to Waalsekaai, so now you can properly fuel up after your session. Secondly, on Saturday September 19th Doktershuis Antverpia is joining us for a talk on skin health. Spots are currently fully booked, but you can still get on the waitinglist!
Core Business
A strong core makes you perform better at virtually any sport. It also makes everyday life easier: fewer injuries, better posture, less back pain,… Since you’re all members of Antwerp’s finest gym, none of this should be news to you. However what is often misunderstood, is what the core actually does. In many training contexts, core strength has become synonymous with ‘stability’ or ‘resisting movement’. But your core is just as important for steering movement. That’s where a lot of programs fall short and that’s exactly what the masterclass ‘Core Training’ is about.
On Saturday October 3rd from 13:30 to 16:00, Milo Education is hosting a core training workshop at Circus. Theory, practice and application all in one 2,5 hour session, open for both athletes and coaches. You’ll leave with a new way of looking at core training: why an exercise works and how to adapt it to whoever is standing in front of you. Also worth knowing: In January 2027 Milo will be hosting their first ever personal training course in Belgium, in partnership with The Brick. The core masterclass is the easiest way to experience how they teach and your €50 entry fee (which is already a steal if you ask me!) will be fully credited when you enroll in the PT course.

New On The Schedule
Three additions to our class schedule worth knowing about: SATORI: Oona is adding a Reformer Pilates Level 3 XL on Saturdays at 12:00. A 75 minute class for the advanced crowd. As with all Level 3 classes you’ll need at least a year of Reformer experience/about 100 classes under your belt to join.
DRAGON’S DEN: Back by popular demand! For anyone who has ever wanted to properly learn the snatch and clean & jerk, Evelyn is reinstating her Olympic Lifting sessions. Join her on Sundays at 12:00 for a technique class open to all levels - as long as you’re already familiar with both movements.
CIRCUS: And because apparently Daniel wasn’t teaching enough already, he’s adding two extra Strong classes to the schedule: Mondays at 16:00 and Fridays at 17:00. You know what to do.
New Kid On The Block
Meet Moribah. He has knocked out 12 opponents. He also once fell down a YouTube rabbit hole about paperclip production. Our newest kickboxing coach contains multitudes.
Born in Liberia and raised in Amsterdam, Moribah grew up playing football until a knee injury forced him to stop. He spent some time looking for something that could scratch the same competitive itch, tried a few things but nothing really stuck… Until he found kickboxing. There, he found exactly what he’d been looking for. The challenge, the discipline, the adrenaline. He was sold from the first session
The rest is history: Moribah spent 15 years as a competitive kickboxer. 36 fights, 30 wins and 2 titles. The world title he was chasing never came, but looking back he says the losses taught him more than the wins ever did. Having to get back up and figure out how to keep going shaped him not only as an athlete, but as a coach too.
His classes are open to anyone willing to step out of their comfort zone. No experience needed and no plans to turn pro required. What Moribah is really teaching, underneath the technique and combinations, is discipline, resilience, confidence and drive. Useful skills inside the gym and out.
