Athlete of the month June 2026

Athlete of the month June: Aad Pronk

This month we would like to put Aad Pronk in the spotlight as athlete of the month June! Aad has been a loyal member of InTension for nearly 20 years now. Being sporty has been in Aad since an early age. In the past he did badminton and volleyball fanatically. Through his wife he eventually ended up at InTension, where he still sports with great pleasure. Every Tuesday and Thursday Aad follows the Pilates classes of our instructors Rachel and Willemijn. These classes help him to stay fit and keep his body flexible and strong. For Aad, not only the sporting is important, but especially also the pleasant atmosphere within InTension. Afterwards he invariably drinks a cup of coffee with his fellow athletes. In the meantime, this cozy group also undertakes fun activities outside of InTension with each other. We hope to be able to enjoy Aad on InTension for a long time to come and congratulate him wholeheartedly as athlete of the month June! Aad receives one month of free sporting.

Athlete of the Month November: Jilly Kloosterman

Athlete of the Month: Jilly Kloosterman

For the month of November, Jilly Kloosterman has been selected as Athlete of the Month. After her previous yoga school closed, she joined InTension for our yoga classes. When she had her first child, she appreciated being able to use our babysitter while she worked out. Over time, she began taking more and more group classes in addition to yoga classes. Jilly now works out 4 to 5 times a week. She enjoys participating in Power, Hit IT, and Kick IT classes. She also has personal training once a week with NickTraint. Her goal is to stay healthy and fit and to get stronger. Working out helps her clear her head and gives her time for herself. Jilly thinks InTension is a great gym because there’s something for everyone and every age. She loves the beautiful new equipment, the fun classes, and the friendly staff. Many thanks also to the babysitters on her behalf: they now regularly look after her second child, and without them, Jilly wouldn’t have been able to be here so often! We congratulate Jilly as our November Athlete of the Month. She gets this month’s membership for free!

SPECIAL: Women’s Circles

SPECIAL: Women’s Circles

Our staff member Esther invites a maximum of nine women to our yoga room on November 21st for a warm, connecting Women’s Circle. As we kicked off circles earlier this year, it coincides with the Chinese New Year of the Snake, the year of transformation.

Inviting, discovering, welcoming, and sharing insights that resonated with this theme was and remains a fascinating experience. Are there any things you still need to let go of in order to grow as a person? Can you tell me about a comfortable jacket (snakeskin) that fits like a glove, but gets in the way now? We will gather together with like-minded women, regardless of their experience or age, in a “safe space” that fosters warmth, safety, connection, and sharing.

Everyone is welcome to join and participate in the various Women’s Circle rituals, regardless of their experience with circling.

Is this something that resonates with you? Would you like to know more? Visit the website www.EssistancebyEsther.nl! Send an email to info@In-tension.nl OVV Esther’s Women’s Circles to participate.

Dates:

  • Friday, November 21, 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM
  • Friday, December 19, 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM
  • Sunday, January 18, 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM

Fee: €35 for 1 circle, €60 for 2 circles, and €75 for 3 circles.

Register early, as space is limited.
