Internship Eva

Eva recently started her internship at Taus Gym. You will see her regularly in the gym and during various classes in the near future. In this newsletter, she would like to introduce herself to you:

Hi all!

My name is Eva Dielemans, 17 years old and living in Deurne. Since the end of August, I have been an intern at Taus Gym and am in the second year of the Sport and Exercise course at Yonder.

In the coming period, you will see me walking around more often on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the main location in Tilburg. I look forward to learning a lot, developing myself and, of course, getting to know you all better.

Feel free to speak to me if you run into me at the gym. I love to get acquainted and have a fun and sporty time together!

Halloween training

This year, it will be scary again during Krav Maga classes for the kids! In the last week of October, the training sessions will be all about Halloween. Put on your scariest, funniest or coolest costume and together we will make it a spooky training.

The special Halloween training sessions will take place on:

• Tilburg: Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 October 2025
• Breda: Monday 27 and Thursday 30 October 2025

We look forward to seeing you in your spookiest outfits!

Sharing together: the new Too Good To Go box

At our main location in Tilburg, you will recently find the Too Good To Go box: an initiative by the community, for the community.

The idea is simple: put things you no longer use yourself but that still deserve a second life in the box. Think of sportswear that no longer fits, accessories or useful items. Other members can then take out something they can put to good use. In this way, we contribute to sustainability together and strengthen the bond within our community.

We hope the box will be widely used: give and take. What is superfluous for one person may be exactly what is needed for another.

‎

Please note: prefer to leave personal items such as bits or toques at home. Anything in the box is also used at your own risk, Taus Gym is not liable for damage or defects.

‎

And don't forget to take an occasional peek in the found objects box too. You don't want to know what valuable items we sometimes find in there....

New website Taus Gym

You've probably already seen it: our new website is live! With a fresh look, better structure and clear information, it is now even easier to find everything you are looking for.

Among other things, what has been improved?

• A clear homepage with all our training courses and memberships.

• New texts and photos that better show who we are and what we do.

• Convenient online forms for trial lessons and registrations.

• More focus on ease of use and atmosphere, so you get an instant feel for our gym.

Take a quick look at www.tausgym.nl And let us know what you think, feedback is always welcome!

Farewell & thanks
After almost 10 years, we say goodbye to our website manager and hosting partner Stofloos. We look back on a fine cooperation, but it was time for a new path. We are extremely happy with our new website partner Byrt.nl, from our own familiar face in the gym: Michael Rademaker. Together with him, we realised the new site.

‎

Also, a big thanks to our member Maarten Zijlmans of Trender.nl for all the tips and tools we were allowed to use, and of course to our own Emma, who did most of the work to put everything down as tightly and clearly as possible.

Discover our full range!

At Taus Gym, you can choose between different memberships. You decide how often you come to train: once a week or more often. There is always an option that suits you. From the age of 14, you can join Grappling, FIT Circuit and Boxing bag training in addition to the Youth Krav Maga classes.

Combi Flex membership
More and more young people are opting for the Combi Flex membership. This gives you three training sessions per week, which you can compile entirely yourself. Ideal if you like variety or have a changing schedule.

‎

New house rules and conditions

To keep classes fun and safe for everyone, we have updated the house rules and conditions for kids & youth classes. This makes it clear to parents and children alike what we can expect from each other.

‎

What has changed?

‎

• Children are brought a maximum of 10 minutes before class and collected within 15 minutes of the end.

• Parents/carers do not routinely watch during lessons. Once every 90 days there is a viewing time.

• Extra attention to hygiene: a clean sports outfit, short nails and in case of illness or an infectious disease, stay at home.

• The rules around respect and safety have been made clearer and clearer.

The full versions can be found here: General terms and conditions and House rules.

‎

You can find the abridged version of the Terms and Conditions here.

Holiday schedule

During the autumn and Christmas holidays, there is a different timetable. Therefore, please check the calendar carefully to know exactly when your classes will take place.

There is an extra advantage for young people during the holiday periods (as well as the week before and after): in addition to your own Krav Maga training sessions, you can also join the FIT boxing bag training and Grappling classes. A great opportunity to try out something new or challenge yourself!

• Autumn holidays: 11 October to 19 October 2025

Autumn force

The days are getting shorter, the air is fresher and we prefer to be indoors more often. It is extra important to take in enough nutrients for a good resistance.

‎ ‎

Autumn vegetables and fruit are ideal then: they are warming, tasty and good for your health. And that is exactly what your body needs right now.

Moreover, seasonal produce is often cheaper and more sustainable, which is nice!

Here is a list of some seasonal fruits and vegetables;

• Kale is a true vitamin C champion. Vitamin C plays a major role in boosting your immunity. It also helps in the absorption of iron from plant foods. So combining kale with lentils or beans is extra effective.

• Also red beet deserves a place on the menu. This vegetable contains nitrates that improve your sports performance and endurance. In addition, beetroot is full of antioxidants that can inhibit inflammation and support your immune system.

• Apples and pears are typical autumn fruits. Not only do they taste delicious, they are also good for your gut due to the fibre pectin. This helps your digestion and contributes to stable cholesterol. Warm apple also has a soothing effect on intestinal problems. Add some cinnamon and you have a delicious snack.

• Pumpkin is rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in your body. This vitamin helps keep your skin and mucous membranes healthy, the first line of defence against viruses. Vitamin A is also important for your eyesight.

Further typical autumn vegetables and fruits are broccoli, all types of cabbage (cauliflower etc), parsnips, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, carrots, leeks, lamb's lettuce, turnips, pak choi, grape, melon, mandarins, blackberries, plums, and figs.

Opt for the best of the season and give your body what it needs. With
autumn fruits and vegetables on your plate you are not only putting something tasty, but also something
what is really good for you.

Wondering what else you can do about your health? At Gewoon Diëtetiek, we are happy to look into this with you.
