News for May 2025

WIth the sun shining bright, we' ve got 4 more infos this May to help you make the most of your activities at Friskis!

-Eurovision sessions: Wednesdays 14 and 21 of May, in Optima, we'll run a mix of Jympa, Multifys and Dance Explode.
The mega sessions with Annika, Lene and Magda, where you can expect all the best new and less new hits on playlists, as well as Eurovision outfits.


-20km of Brussels: it will take place on Sunday 25 May, with 20 Frikis participants joining. 
Unfortunately, the race is fully sold out, but if you'd like to come and support our Friskis runners and walkers on the day, you're welcome to join at the Friskis meeting point, which will be located at the grass near the arches in the 50aire (to the right when facing the arches below). The more the merrier!


-Running Survey: A friendly nudge about the running survey we sent out a little while back.
Huge thanks to everyone who's already shared their thoughts - you rock!
If you haven't hit your pace yet and completed it, no worries!
It's not a marathon, just a quick-5mn sprint without hills!

Your feedback will help us plan the best running sessions possible: Running Survey (still open for a couple of days)


- Call for Nordic Walking (NW) Instructors
Friskis Brussels is looking for new NW Instructors to reinforce the team giving the sessions on Saturdays 9.30-11:00 in Forêt de Soignes. 
Compared to 'normal' walking, NW is a more dynamic way of walking using poles and specific technique. It involves applying force to the poles with each stride. Nordic walkers use more of their entire body (with greater intensity) and NW is simple, goof for fitness and stamina. Build your muscles, breathe fresh air and enhoy nature. 

Friskis organises NW in groups, led by an instructor who would advise you on the correct technique, give you useful tips, motivation and group spirit. These sessions are available all year in any weather, unless conditions are unsafe. 

What are the requirements to become a Nordic Walking Instructor? 
-You are a regular Friskis participant, and you would like to go for more fun and more involvement in our organisation
-You like NW and have a good technique
-You are able to lead groups and communicate in English/French

How to apply? 
Send your application to FU@friskissvettis.be by June 4th, describing yourself and your involvement in Friskis. Tell us why you would make the ideal candidate! A selection test will be organised on June 14th, 2025.

Any questions until then? Don't hesitate to contact us, to speak with any of your current NW instructors, we'll be happy to assist and provide you with more information.


Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
With warm Friskis teams
Your Friskis team!
