NN. 07 IS COMING TO ANTWERP
Mark your calendars people, this 1st of December, NN. 07 Antwerp will open its newest concept store with a bang and you are invited. Place to be is Lombardenvest 16-18, don’t be late, party starts at 18:30 with our very own Dj Morena behind the decks.
NN07 Maastricht originally opened its doors in the autumn of 2022; a multi-brand store with the Scandinavian No Nationality at its core, fueled by young fashion entrepreneur Luc Jongen of Sketch Maastricht.
However, that is not all they offer, aside from perfect fits and lush accessories you might find that special perfume or luxurious table book you didn’t know you where looking for.
Dangerous store to enter, we speak from experience.
To mitigate the danger a little they graciously agreed that The Brick members will receive an exclusive 10% discount on all purchases upon presentation of their member card or the QR code in the app.
UNDER MY UMBRELLA
Want to weather the storm in style? Don’t worry we got you.
Belgium and rain go hand in hand, but there is no reason to get wet this winter.
Get your limited edition umbrella now at the Satori shop or the Brick front desk for only € 14,95 and save that hunderd dollar haircut from the weather Gods.
Or you can always go full Tom Holland with it.
FIDLAB X THE BRICK ACADEMY
“Body insights for a better lifestyle”
The first FIDLAB workshop was a huge success.
Stay tuned for the next dates, which are sure to follow.
For those of you who are still in the dark, FIDLAB is a company that facilitates and interprets bloodwork and saliva testing to offer a complete review of your current health state and the risks you face towards the future. In short they offer health & stress checks through bloodwork.
FIDLAB firmly believes in prevention rather than cures, a philosophy we can only hope will become widely adapted in the near future by doctors and governments alike.
But it doesn’t stop there. They don’t interpret your test results merely by comparing them to the common denominators of the total population as is the normal standard.
Instead they take into account your personal lifestyle, body type, eating patterns, work-out shedule and so much more to arrive at a highly detailed and personal result that will grant you the insights you need to prevent or improve certain health problems you might face.
YCLING SILLY OR CROSSFIT ELSA?
You might know her from the front desk, her background as a dietitian, her Party Cycling classes, Big Laus’ better half or stealing everyone’s thunder with photogenic deathrattles at various CrossFit events. Either way, let’s take a closer look at Silke Verachtert this month.
The hair and general vocal range are serious spoilers, we agree, but did you know that while she grew up in the Belgian country side back in 1993, this sassy little minx has ABBA roots all the way from Malmö, Sweden: 12 points.
Every girl at one point or another wants to be a princess but Silke, or Silly as she is aptly nicknamed by her friends, skipped the princess part and went straight for queen: Queen Elsa of Arendelle. The visual likeness, baby blue as favorite color, the Disney way of singing stuff that could be spoken. The similarities are present, the question is, who came first.
There is one difference though, Disney princesses don’t like to cook, and that is something Silly excels at. Her background as dietitian and general love for healthy cooking and creating new recipes are probably also the reason she landed the love of her life at the Brick: CrossFit coach Big Lau. To many more happy WODs together.
When she is not greeting people at the front desk, you can find her on the Cycling bike, jumping up and down, peddling the night away to the best old & new beats and some serious strobing disco lights (warning: epilepsy seizures not included).
You can risk it yourself every Wednesday at 19:30 in The Brick Waalsekaai.
(Don’t worry. Normal cyclists actually use their legs, not their arms)
HOUSE RULES
While we understand that everyone can have a bad day, we can not tolerate that certain ill-mannered behaviors negatively impact others’ experiences.
We would like to remind everyone to be respectful of their surroundings and courtly towards their fellow gym buddies. A polite communication and cleaning up after oneself are the bare minimum.
Get that good karma in while you can.

PACK’D
WE ALL WANT TO BE HEALTHY.
Known factors are exercising and eating healthy, but when it comes to nutrients, it gets a bit more complicated.
PACK’D aims to make it all a little less complicated.
For those who eat healthily and live a perfectly balanced lifestyle, you really wouldn’t need supplements.
But we both know that not every meal we eat is healthy.
And that’s not a problem at all: our Essentials Box is an insurance for the burgundian lifestyle.
We’ve worked with professionals in the sports and nutrients industry to create a selection of daily essentials that will work towards a healthy, energized body and focused mind.
