PEDALS, PLATES & PRECISION
You’ve probably seen Esther in The Brick when there is some spinning to be done. Even though this petite powerhouse has a Dutch passport, she hails from Hoogstraten so we can nationally forgive her for being from the Netherlands. A history of Ballet and Art School. An education in Mathematics & Economics. There is more than meets the eye here.
Let’s tackle the obvious first. Spinning. Fast-paced, relentless, and exhilarating, spinning immediately became more than a workout to her. It became an obsession. Five classes a week weren’t enough, and friends started urging her to take the leap into teaching. With the encouragement of fellow The Brick spin-junkie Katrien van Roey, she finally took up the mantle. Now, this control freak is the one pushing others to hit their limits, all while maintaining that killer rhythm and speed. Esther’s classes? Intense, driven, with a smile that will keep you going.
Beauty and brains seldom meet with such striking presence but they sure do here. She moved to Berlin to work as a consultant for a couple of years, which left her fluent in German but addicted to currywurst. Not that healthy if you ask me but you win some, you lose some I guess. Work then brought her back to Antwerp, where she quickly kicked that habit and now spends her weekdays crunching numbers as a performance analyst at Solvay. This may sound boring to those not accepted into the cult of Microsoft Office, but not for acolyte Esther. She just loves working analytically and critically, the notorious spreadsheet program is her workplace religion – “I get so excited when a formula works in Excel”.
But those are the weekdays, her evenings and weekends are reserved for all things food, fun, and spinning. You might not know this, but when Esther’s not in the studio, she’s in the kitchen, an Ottolenghi-style feast is always in the works. Her passion for Mediterranean cooking is as fierce as her spinning addiction. Dinner at Esther’s means endless wine, prosecco, piles of dishes with colorful vegetables with an exotic twist. “Vegetable girl,” they used to call her at work, but she really owns it.  
Living in the city we all love with her boyfriend and their dog, aptly named Otto, she’s got it all figured out. If you ever catch her at a café or restaurant, surrounded by friends and delicious food, or in The Brick, tearing through another 50-minute session, just know – she’s giving it her all again today, what about you?
Go on, take one of her classes. And if you’re lucky, maybe she’ll invite you over for dinner afterwards. Just Uber over, because your glass will never be empty.
BUY A BURGER, GET A BURGER
Another month, another crazy promotion. What’s better then one burger? Well two obviously.
